It's OK because Ports second to last goal came after a clear mark was not paid to Centrals, so it all evens out in the end.

The one the non officiating umpire called play on because it was touched off the boot?

Probably missed two free's in the lead up to that. Sam Gray caught high when on the ground in front of the Port bench, then Mason Shaw getting tackled and putting the ball on the ground moments later should have been holding the ball.
Anywho, you get to 7 goals down at half time you don't really deserve to win.

WTF would I be bitter??
I just watched the footage out if interest, and as a neutral can say it was pathetic and I hate how games are decided like this. Nothing in it, and if your one that believes if your running back with the flight to spoil it should be an automatic free, you have no idea. This shits me no end, when defenders do it well but get penalised anyway. You an umpire?

So you are saying that it wasn't a free kick. I don't know how you can make that assessment. Port bench are almost on the ground and are signalling to flood Centrals forward line. Waldhutter left on his own, takes the gamble and goes for the run and long kick to Jenner. Two Port defenders facing the opposite way to the ball coming in trying to spoil - should be an immediate free kick anyway. The mark is hard to work out - did Jenner have his hand in front of the third Port defender and hook it back? Certainly Port defender (sam Russell) is in the better position falling back with the original flight of the ball but at no time does he have any control. Jenner knows where the ball is and on the second grab controls the ball and brings it to ground. Russell still falling back with what he thought was the flight of the ball. Jenner lands on Russells outstretched leg. Russell dives back in with 2 other defenders. All have their backs to the camera, Jenner lurches forward and umpire is in perfect position for once. Port players don't remonstrate.
Port may be coming back to the pack, but there is no doubt this Centrals team has found its straps. Since going down to Sturt at home by 52 points followed by a 13 point loss to port at Alberton in round 9, Centrals only loss was to Norwood on a wet night. Beating your lot on your cow paddock with 2 men down in the first half, and this win with Ports normal dirty tricks, shows some real determination. We still probably don't deserve a finals berth based on how bad we were in the first half of the season, but if we get there we will give it a shake.

Not at all, just asked the question. By others reports, probably could have been called play on, paid a mark (which I think one of the commentators said too) or with the umpire in good position, paid a free. Based on that, my post was reasonable. You still seem excited about the win so will excuse the rest of your post. I will agree though that the dogs seem to be playing better footy now along with Norwood and if they make the finals, could get past the elimination final.
I will agree with wcp though, that this running back with the footy thing shouldn't be an automatic free kick, this isn't the afl you know.

The free wasn't paid in the marking contest, so the umpire agrees with us, there's no infringement from the players while the ball is in the air.
The free is paid when the ball and players are on the ground for too high.
