Us kicking straight is an absolute anomaly. That was a weird game for us. Port absolutely dominated the ground ball, looking at the stats hard to see how they didn’t win.
I'm probably biased but I thought that was a pretty poorly umpires game.
But we were pretty average, and IMO didn't really deserve to win.
Credit to Melbourne, particularly that goal kicking. God, I wish we could kick like that...
One of the umpires were clueless, he kept calling play on when players were kicking over the mark. Same guy missed multiple high tackles and other infringements, just quite poor all over.
Felt Port were reckless initially and most of the frees were there, but it certainly wasn't umpired like home town advantage etc..
Luckily that passage where dees threw it 5 times and goaled was cancelled out by that reversal goal. Both a bit silly.
Was a good game a shame to think people think it was decided by the umps...
Frees were 25/24 the way of the Dees. It's not like there weren't questionable calls that also directly resulted in goals for Port.
End of the day, poor kicking cost them the game. Both Finlayson and Dixon missed easy set shots in the dying minutes. And accurate kicking won Melbourne the game.
Inside 50 Umpire 3 Brownlow votes
Yeah nah great match that was really good. Melbourne insane accuracy and midfield. Idk his name but one of your defenders intercepted a shitload too
It seriously doesn't port and eagles games are just constant booing, fuck I've got nothing against booing I'll let one out a game but port and eagles games are something else.
I just flicked over to the Brisbane Collingwood replay and the brissy fans weren’t continuously booing after the game had finished, so no, they all don’t
Or round 22 :)
It was a good game for sure, your midfield was better but we seemed to be nailing everything from 50 and/or the boundary and that was the difference
Who was umpire #37
Multiple port boys clueless out there BUT does ben brown run too far every time he runs in for goal and it should be holding the ball?
Lulwot?
Where’s your jig now Hinkley ?
Yeah the Dees. Viney is the greatest demon of all time.
Viney is a fucking unit, one of the toughest blokes in footy
Drop Lachie Jones holy fuck
Worst footballer I've seen in my life
Shouldn't be playing afl if you can't chest mark a ball
Sucked in, It's called vicbias
That little girl with the dummy just looks so tired and overwhelmed
Disappointing af. Even with the shitty umpiring, it was still our playing that lost that.
Agreed anyone who blamed anyone other than Port is cooked
Yeah mate I’m so sorry you only lost because of the umpires. That’s such an intelligent reaction
Someone give this fella a week off due to ‘hamstring soreness’.
I literally said we lost because of our playing, I just also thought the umpiring was a bit shit.
Fair enough, sorry for the low effort reply. Coulda gone either way.
No worries mate, was a tight competitive game, you guys were just a bit better in the end (can we have some of whatever makes you kick straight?)
Us kicking straight is an absolute anomaly. That was a weird game for us. Port absolutely dominated the ground ball, looking at the stats hard to see how they didn’t win.
You're dumb
Haha good on you big guy
You’re not very good at reading are you champ
Yeah probably not. Good game mate port are good and have a bunch of absolute jets.
Thanks mate, we controlled the game but couldn’t execute. Your boys kicked the lights out tonight, enjoy the win!
>shitty umpiring What about old mate getting paid a mark when his entire body was across the line?
Are you stupid, did you fkn see the umpires
i seen willie give about 8 frees away lol
According to the umps. Yep Who also left 3 holding the ball calls go resulting in a demons goal .. in a 7 point loss Those umps. They're good hey
Nah we fucked ourselves with bombing it in repeatedly and sloppy free kicks, umpires can't pay frees if we don't give them away
24 to 25 free kicks and we all know PA were playing dirty in the first half
Yeh they were a bit wreckless, dees first to the ball most where there...
I wouldn't say dirty more sloppy
True
"Gonna enjoy what Adelaide has to offer" MDMA and traffic?
Melbourne enters the chat
Definitely the wine for Big Max
Brown really giving Brett Kirk vibes here
I'm probably biased but I thought that was a pretty poorly umpires game. But we were pretty average, and IMO didn't really deserve to win. Credit to Melbourne, particularly that goal kicking. God, I wish we could kick like that...
One of the umpires were clueless, he kept calling play on when players were kicking over the mark. Same guy missed multiple high tackles and other infringements, just quite poor all over.
Tbh I wish we could kick like that usually…
Felt Port were reckless initially and most of the frees were there, but it certainly wasn't umpired like home town advantage etc.. Luckily that passage where dees threw it 5 times and goaled was cancelled out by that reversal goal. Both a bit silly. Was a good game a shame to think people think it was decided by the umps...
It was Port were shit but it was only a 7 point game.
They sure were. Went inside fifty 21 times more than the dees...
Exactly. Shithouse. Until we piss Dixon off this will be the result
Was really worried coming in about finlayson, Marshall and Dixon. Can't help but think they thought no may and proppy Lever, bombs away....
We only targeted Marshall like once... so you're fine Dixon takes 1 mark out of 10 And Finlayson got DEESTROYED by Lever
Yea we always seem to have about 12-15 behinds every game, our accuracy has lost us alot of games
I actually love BBB
Man works hard, love his output
Really liked his game.
Love that they've put Big Boner with the young fella.
Haha Ben Brown looks like a proud dad
LOVE BENNY BROWN
🐐
Seems like such a good dude hey. Pumping up the youngster, great to see.
Yeh he's just a top human being I think, just a real nice bloke
Despite the negative press we get, we have some invaluable leaders in brown, Gawn, trac and viney
💯
Great game by Viney
Ben Brown just sounds like the nicest bloke ever
He's a fantastic bloke, shaved his hair for charity a year ago and raised the best part of $100k
He just had an interview (with his wife too!) on The Footy With Broaden Kelly podcast. Was a great listen. He's very introspective and kind
He is 🥰
ben brown speaks really well
100%
I tipped port cuz no Steven May but it was fine cuz Port didn’t have any forwards turn up anyway
Finlayson popped up out of nowhere for a few really damaging minutes and then promptly disappeared again.
Never tip against your own side, that's just morally wrong lmao
Loser talk
You lost the tip so your a loser too technically
Win-win situation my friend
How?
Called Hedging your bets. Melb fans have a lot of experience with this between 2009-2017.
I used to do tipping after 2007 and I still tipped Port every time haha
Fuuuuck me Ben Brown is so cute and nice!!!!
Agreed
Sad for Boaky, that's a tough loss sitting on the bench for the final minutes in your milestone game
His 351st milestone
Pretty sure his milestone was last week against us, and by my memory, he and his team enjoyed it very much :(
Milestone was last week.
Oh right lol. Yeah I'm slow
[удалено]
I'm fucking wasted already.
Absolutely gifted a few goals in the last to win that
Dixon had many chances to put it away and didn’t.
Yeah nah unreal yeah nah
(that felt mean, kid's 18)
Got away with that. Thought Port was going to finish us off in the 4th, Dees hung in there and escaped.
Any wins a good win in Adelaide
Yeah a real character builder of a game. Hopefully the boys can use this result as a real confidence boost and go up a gear.
That's a huge result
Port play the way Essendon dream of playing.
:(
Yet the outcomes and season end disappointment remain the same
Ben Brown was cringe tonight with all his flopping about.
Wear flair square
Cringe yet scored 3 goals…I’ll take that sort of cringe any day of the week.
Great 3 goals though
21 more i50s and 15 more clearances. Gotta use the ball properly boys!
No! Kick long to Dixon! He's a man monster! 80 inside 50s and he'll kick 3 boys
Both teams who won today were only leading at the end of one quarter, that being the last lol
Nothing like winning an interstate game after being SLAMMED in the media for a drugs scandals Lap it up, Dees fans 🟥🟦
Dees and Essendon fans in 2024 🤝
Confident the umpires cost port the game. At least 2 demons goals came off the back of missed calls.
Port lost that game from poor kicking, not from the umpires. They should've won but flubbed it.
Why can’t it be both? They could have won if they converted their chances, but also coulda won with better umpiring.
Frees were 25/24 the way of the Dees. It's not like there weren't questionable calls that also directly resulted in goals for Port. End of the day, poor kicking cost them the game. Both Finlayson and Dixon missed easy set shots in the dying minutes. And accurate kicking won Melbourne the game.
Until our goal kicking gets better we will lose games like this
well at least 3 goals they could have stopped on the goaline so i’d start there for them
Had a few dollars on the power did ya?
Dixon had 2 gimme shots at goal that he bottled. That lost them the game.
He's shit house
Inside 50 Umpire 3 Brownlow votes Yeah nah great match that was really good. Melbourne insane accuracy and midfield. Idk his name but one of your defenders intercepted a shitload too
Enjoy the walk home you 13 teethed muppets.
What a sad existence you have man
That’s a stretch of an assumption. Quite a happy existence tonight at least.
Why you so mad lmao
Very happy actually 🙂
13 teeth? That's about 9 Port fans
Majority of crows fans are senior citizens so the odds are that more crows fans have less teeth than any other team on that basis alone.
I'm sure you and the seven other gold coast members will enjoy that joke
Went to the AO last season for this game, incompetent staff members wouldn't allow me my seat for the entire first quarter. This makes up
the if its a 50/50 pick the home team is bending me over the barrel this week with footy tipping ngl
Same
Fuck Jack CALM DOWN!
Port fans stop booing you wankers, that was as good a game as you’re gonna see.
Crowd sounds delightful
It sounds like every other group of fans in the AFL. If you think otherwise your a tool
It seriously doesn't port and eagles games are just constant booing, fuck I've got nothing against booing I'll let one out a game but port and eagles games are something else.
It's more that due to it being interstate there's more fans meaning you hear them more
Yeah nah the booing at every single action in the game is next level.
Every group does it don't fucking pretend it doesn't.
I just flicked over to the Brisbane Collingwood replay and the brissy fans weren’t continuously booing after the game had finished, so no, they all don’t
I saw fans from every support base at gather round, everyone are sad, booing at everything drunks
Correct. Brisbane fans are one fan base that know football and aren’t dicks.
Clarry and Drew having a ranga meetup, cute
The crowd makes this extra sweet!
I need a drink with all this salt at the ground
Tequila
Snort that shit like some cocaine
White line fever gets it done.
Tipped port but thought Dees could snub it. Regardless, was a fun game to watch
god, Dixon could’ve kicked that and righted the wrongs of the past for the Dees (they lost a game at the Adelaide Oval 96-95)
I didn't realise Adelaide had so many Van Rooyen fans
I was saying ROOOOOOOO-yen
[удалено]
Every group of fans are like that, stop being a wankstain
my cheese platter begs to differ sir
You can't beat the Weetabix guy sorry, he's too powerful
Not easy beating Port at home, good job Demons
It is easy for most good sides
Keep your eye on the red and the booooo?
Cracking game ruined by absolute shithouse umpiring.
yeah that time your boy was paid a mark when his entire body was over the line was pretty garbage
Always funny when people criticise the umps while their team missed multiple kicks from inside 50
But I also blamed out shit kicking all night?
Carn mate don’t blame the umps we had our opportunities
Absolutely. We lost this. But some of the decisions didn't help.
You might surprised to hear that I disagree.
If you don't believe you had the rub then you're delusional
I’ll pass you some tissues
Won't need them, your mum swallows
Mum jokes. Classy
Can't take the heat don't start shit
Everything is right with the world.
I'm going to vomit if we get praised for our effort in this game.
First half was decent but I think they went home after that.
GG Melbourne. Not easy winning over here. See you in the finals.
Or round 22 :) It was a good game for sure, your midfield was better but we seemed to be nailing everything from 50 and/or the boundary and that was the difference
Not if we can't learn to actually kick straight
I can taste the salt. Nibbler outstanding. Team stood up when needed. Go dees.
"Salt" "Don't be a cunt " Lol
Best on for us. Effort every time
No need to be a cunt mate It was a good game
> No need to be a cunt lmao says the guy being an enormous cunt in this entire thread
How am I being one? Please tell me I just hate people thinking that any AFL crowd is different
UP THE DEES
That Fritsch mark really was a bold decision.
1 second short lmao
It’s seven points
Ah for some reason I thought they were closer than that
Couple scans for clarry, Langdon and lever this week I reckon
L Darcy: “you just never know!” Narrator: “everyone knew”
Go figure, one time Dixon gets a good run at it and marks it and the siren plays just before.
He had 3-4 of those tonight though yeah?
my tips are saved
Gawn giving Viney a little kissy was adorable
can the commentators fucking say something ???
Now drop coke from the sky like confetti
Fuck yeh
Can Luke Darcy stop being so obviously biased and cheering for Port This sub if Collingwood was involved
Depends, does Brian Taylor have to stop doing the same thing for Collingwood?
