Scollop: I heard that there was a guy who died waiting for Teflon ever to post anything critical of Ross Lyon.

His name was Methuselah. According to the Bible, he lived for 969 years.

And in a nutshell that shows the incompetence of the umpires

I thought it was funny. LDU was having a hissy fit about the Saints player deliberately pushing the ball over the line. What a surprise he got!

We are clearly the better team, but we need to calm down and focus. Not a hell of a lot better Their defence is giving our players a massive amount of room to run around in. And their forward thrusts have a fair amount of hit and hope about them: two out of their three goals had a fair amount of lu...

We've started badly. We don't have enough midfielders IMO.

What a load of cowardly BS. I’m glad I’m not standing next to any you lot in the trenches.

A lot of the problem is in the forward line. That’s a problem area in general. I say put Boris in charge of it.

Much like Brayshaw changing direction into Maynard's flying bump/attempt to smother ... if he doesn't change direction Maynard may only just clip him Great argument, except that you're wrong about there ever being any possibility of Maynard missing Brayshaw. Watchthe front on replay (1 min 14 into ...

One expert said he found a lot of interpretations that went Ports way more than a little odd.

The main thing I saw was Hinkley whinging about the holding the man calls against them. You’ve got to admire his chutzpah.

Winning football games is not about whether or not you “deserve” it, or whether or not your opponents were unlucky with injuries, or moved the ball better than us. We have received half a dozen simply dreadful umpiring decisions against us that either gifted them goals or denied them to us. Without ...

Phillipou 2 kicks
Garcia 7 possessions- as a mid

Hastie impacted 8 in a quarter

Hastie did some good stuff, but he looks a little slow.

some teams win the close ones unfortunately for us, we lose the close ones.

Teams are always going to lose close ones with the home town umpiring we saw tonight.

The Hawthorn team of the 1980s would have struggled to overcome it.

We probably will say something. And we'll get a response along the lines of "sorry, the umpires made some mistakes. We'll try to make sure it doesn't happen next time." It's happened before: I remember a game against Port in 2006 where the AFL admitted to 10 umpiring mistakes against us af...

He didn't do anything there.

Even I'm starting to believe the umpires are corrupt.

The blonde guy is just a poor umpire: makes his decisions based on crowd noise rather than on what he sees.

We've been screwed by the umps. But Port are running out of players. So we're still an outside chance.

I'm about as far away from being a fan of Byrnes as you could possibly get, but I reckon he put in a pretty decent effort in that first half.

Sharman was dreadful. Membrey did a couple of ok things but was mostly dreadful. Garcia was almost invisible.

Gives up and stops trying

Needs a fkn rocket!!!

He's been pretty dreadful all season. Surely he comes out next week when we have more players back.

PA have missed 4 easy ones in front of goal.

We've missed a couple as well.

You're all so critical. But 10 points down at half time is far better than I had envisaged at the start of the game.

We're playing much better though.

We haven't had a very good deal from the umpys tonight.

WTF Howard?
