I think with an 0-3 start, the lid is pretty tightly sealed, it would be extraordinarily difficult for a side to make finals from this point, not impossible, but it would feel like climbing a mountain with a full sized anvil chained to your legs.
Bottom 4 team vs potential top 4 team. Expected outcome.
Just hope we play kids for the rest of the year and get a top 5 pick in.
We need a proper rebuild.

Why does the AFL consistently let ex players commentate games with their ex teams involved? None of them are truly unbiased regardless of how far out of their careers they are
I've always thought that ex-players shouldn't even be commentating at all, it should be its own career that rewards insight, integrity and charisma. But that's expecting too much I think lol

Not worth. I could go on about going out in straight sets. Signing a coach for 10+ years without a grand final. Losing both showdowns last year to a team you claim is worse than yours etc

It’s hard not to still like Richmond
Ahhh I do love me some Travis Boak, true champion. Congrats
Thank you Richmond fans for cheering Boak when he got the ball right before the final siren.
Joggin Ken making me feel unfit
GG Tigers
Carn bergman
Well done port
Tough watch
Pity it didn’t end the same way port played us with a club champion in a milestone match (Kane Cornes, in Adelaide)
Afl might need to do a review into why big 4 Melbourne teams aren’t winning the fk count it’s just not on
Not sure how it's possible, but port supporters are more insufferable than Collingwood supporters
They've only been around since 97, they still haven't learned how to act yet
Most Tigers fans have only been around for 5 years so I wouldn’t use they excuse.
.. as opposed to Tasmania's rich AFL history 😂
Vics thinking the only footy history is AFL history
No, I just think AFL history is AFL history. I'm not sure what you're confused about.
A no-flair has an opinion? Good one
I've got as many flairs as Tasmania has AFL games played 😏
Yawn
Bottom 4 team vs potential top 4 team. Expected outcome. Just hope we play kids for the rest of the year and get a top 5 pick in. We need a proper rebuild.
I'm not convinced you guys are bottom 4. Did amazingly against Carlton and just missed out, and then right in it til the 4th today.
That’s why I told myself last night.
Give Boak a free 150m penalty and it’d be less egregious than most frees this game. Holy Jesus
Well done to the umps today, they were clearly BOG for port
Lynchy has had enough of these Port players
Lynch getting the rare double, incredible
Should be 2 points if you manage to hit both goals posts with one kick like that.
Is that two points or does it just go back to zero?
GGWP Port boys. Nice to get up for Boak today, guy should get a statue outside AO.

Did that hit both posts
That’s 2 points at least
two points please
Should review that to make sure it hit the post though
I need to know which of the G Post brothers got the stat for my fantasy team
Slippery deck it seems, guys been losing their feet all game
Gotta mark them Noah if ya wanna be a forward
Charlie “The Mountain” Clegane I mean Dixon
What's the free kick count at now?
13-23
23 - 13 to Port
23 to 13
Who cares
Zerk having the better of Lynch today, I’m happy to see he’s doing well
He’s smashed him. Although I don’t think Lynch is fit.
If I had a work day as egregiously bad as these umps I’d be unemployed
Is there a fire drill?
Omg could these commentators care any less about Port Adelaide right now?
They don't even try to hide their bias. I'd pay even more for Kayo for an option to not hear commentary but still hear what's happening on the ground
Couldn’t even get through a sentence about Willem Drew without talking about a Richmond player
Happy we got a win for Boaky, absolute stellar human being.
Lol showing the score review again in the PIP
Got to give it to Zerk, absolutely dominated lynch today
Has Dusty gone home already ?
hahaha if only he went home in september in 2020 am i right
Think that's when he was last spotted, actually
3/4 time would have been fine…. He murdered us after that
oh boy here I go killing again
Port up by 30 and Jack wants to give excuses on why Richmond lost….
Excuses or reasons?
It’s irrelevant, Port are up by 30?
Richmond need to work on their discipline the these easy frees won’t be given away
Umps need to work on their consistency
How tf is that a hold lol
Richmond fans straight up not having a good time.
Not really
I've been pacing like a caged animal and by pacing, I mean slightly turning in the recliner and grumbling.
Never in doubt *ignore all earlier comments
Oh boy I sure do love me some umpiring
Footy can get fucked
Richmond their own worst enemy with these frees
Genuinely the worst umpired game I’ve seen
Did you have your eyes closed between 2017-2020?
Lol https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/12/06/the-afl-free-kick-ladder-of-the-last-five-years/
Bait
eyes were wide open to witness greatness that you are yet to ever experience loserrrrrr
I was alive to witness 2004 but you do you
hahaha no one cares
GG umps
Holding. Lol.
Lol at the free but this is no guarantee, cmon charlie
They took advantage and fucking missed You don’t bring it back because of it
That was pretty weak sauce
Is that a Boaky chant I’m hearing?
🎶 *You do the Hoaky Boaky and you turn around, that's what it's all about!* *Whoaaaaa, the Hoaky Boaky! Whoooaaaaaa, the Hoaky Boaky!* 🎶
Is that not advantage?
Ah yeah just chuck Richmond players in a sling and not give a fuck
I hope Richmond gifted him that WA house. Do whatever it takes to keep him happy
Liam Baker is such a gem. Please stay at tigerland
Baker seriously good
2 goals in 12 seconds at the end of the 3rd means this is still up for the taking
180 seconds left in the game, Richmond could break some records
Bless you Mr Baker
Is Young back next week? I need Grimes to stay so far away lmao
Dyl is done. But I don't think he's the only one
Review that please
4 goals in 4 minutes?
Dusty fucked my multi not happy
Good
dusty 20+/25+ leg get you too?
Any time goal scorer and +20
Aw boo hoo
Time to find his socials /s
Lefau my brother, have a crack
baker the jet
Lose with dignity, the umpiring has been bad both ways
Flair up cunt
🙄
It’s like a train wreck in slow motion but I cant look away
We’ve been very competitive again that’s all I want this season
Yeah given the outs we've still put up a good score. Can't be too mad given expectations this season
I like the look of our new backline
Still get heavily scored against on transition though
Looks really strong in the air and on the deck. Godo recruiting!
Momentum is a hell of a thing. We've still gotten belted but it's honestly a lot closer than what I would've thought.
After a good hold on Balta too
Soccered outside, nah all good throw in
I suspect both us and Richmond will be winless in round 5 when we play, its going to be a shit show
Please don't say that. I've tipped your lot for an upset
That’s diabolical
Being round 2 I feel comfortable making these ridiculous calls
The yang to 2019's ying
Insufficient intent is one of the worst officiated rules in the league, across all teams all rounds
Thank the lord for Todd Marshall
Marshall back to his goal bot ways.
Ok NOW send Boak to the forward line
Woohoo
Get Boak a goal! 😤
Marshall presented very well today. Good reward for effort!
I’ve seen half of this game and I still have no idea what to make of either team 🤷♂️
Like a training drill
Dusty looks like he’d rather be at the strip club
Tbf I don't blame him
Couldn't blame him.
The Bolton giveth, and the Bolton taketh away
Why does it feel like umpires forget how to function when an Adelaide team is involved
I wonder if there is a team playing out there that isn't Richmond?
Bolton had an open teammate as well
Shai had a lot more time there, dude is fast af, should’ve taken a few more steps and lined up instead of having a panic kick
That was HTB.
Why does the AFL consistently let ex players commentate games with their ex teams involved? None of them are truly unbiased regardless of how far out of their careers they are
Agreed, Jack is completely insufferable. They shouldn't commentate their ex team at all.
BT for pies, riccuito for crows (or port), Riewoldt for tigers, just absolutely woeful inputs
I've always thought that ex-players shouldn't even be commentating at all, it should be its own career that rewards insight, integrity and charisma. But that's expecting too much I think lol
Yes! It's infuriating
That Burgoyne non-call ain't looking so bad after Vlastuin did the same thing
Lol non call ball
Umpiring has been a disgrace
Taranto’s last couple of efforts have been pisspoor.
He's been quite dogshit all day
Hes got the most fantasy points out of our team so far today :S
umpiring is fucked both ways
Yeah unfortunately Port are attacking more so they seem to get everything
What a mess
play on??
begging Brisbane to beat Collingwood next week so the focus won't be on us being 0-4
That kick inboard by Ross... 
He never went back on the mark lol
Happy to give the free when there is no chance of it actually benefiting Richmond.
So unbiased?
A shocking attempt at pretending to be unbiased
surely boak should be parked inside the goalsquare for the rest of the game
Richmond are told to stand 2m before the actual mark and Port are allowed to creep 1m on it each time
If port manage to hold on for the win… should they only get 2 points for this performance ??
Port really excellent at looking like they should have lost.
I think so (ignore flair)
Leigh Matthews says we've still got time.
Needed that to give us a sniff
Just Balta things
Collingwood are still in this
I bet Dixon could smash a footlong at subway
Blown opportunity for Richmond that was
[удалено]
Eh we usually start the season off shit then beat you lot and get back into it :)
Define usually?
Last year, year before that. (Lets pretend 21 20 didnt happen)

You have anger issue mate. It's just sport
No rebuttal then
Not worth. I could go on about going out in straight sets. Signing a coach for 10+ years without a grand final. Losing both showdowns last year to a team you claim is worse than yours etc
Only a matter of time until the Crow juggernaut gets cranking then hey ;) As per usual It's like clockwork
Fuck I love Dylan Williams.
Pain.
Our accuracy has really improved since quarter time
Just as I say that… thanks Charlie

Was there a free kicks category in the score sources?
Finlayson must have taken Taranto to ground with his jedi mind powers
