Special mention to Drew Petrie,you have paid back the Eagles faith in you with interest.
Hopefully the score reviewers can get it right for the rest of the finals,that could have cost a team a win tonight!

That was bizarre that score review - didn't it clearly show McGovern touching the ball? And then they call it a goal? I don't get it

Apparently from his hand to his boot

What about the one of I think Impeys arm? Guy with sleeves

What an epic contest , but the umpiring was shit house all through.

there was one passage of play when a port player took a clear mark and the ump was caught out lf position...

Extra time was remarkable, and i was thinking please dont let the umps decide this great contest...and thats what happened...in accurate kicking cost port in the end.

It was pretty clear , the ball goes from the boot to Mc Govern then Back to the boot again and then through the gosl, which is why it was paid.

Don't ya farrrken hate it when a recorded program runs overtime so you miss the end? You would think if you have recorded a certain program it will record until that program is completed.

Anyway Fox runs replays all week so I'll watch the overtime later today.

30plus if I was Simpson I would be trying to talk Petrie into going around one more year. He is a real warrior that bloke and can perform any tall man role on the ground more than adequately.

Same for me DD...watching recorded game after work at 1am this morning and didn't know result...luckily replay was only an hour back so waited up for it...paying the price with a foggy head today

Yep kicked them selves out of it, fought their way back in looked the goods to run over the eagles but just couldnt put the score on board...

Anyway how good was the atmosphere, the pre game with scarves bloody awesome

Love them or hate them, Port have what most of the other new inter state franchises have , a real club with a real heritage.

Having said that,the main complainant was ex Port player Kane Cornes,but he was reading from the letter of the Law,regarding Shuey's raised arm during the tackle.

After all that though,Port had West Coast on Toast,but Failed to put the score on the board,the Chief Culprit being Charlid Dixon,with 3.6 and has along way to go yet,to be considered a legitimate good player.

Despite their Great Win,West Coast aren't that much Chop,but Port are over-rated to Hell!They are so far away from Whatever Kochy thinks of you,it isn't funny.

Yep, not the real deal like esserden hey?

Another rubbish final...one out how many in this current AFL series....seriously Jetta and Cripps are the two softest players running around at present....WCE look so slow....even Stevie J looks like he is 20 again....hopefully Richmond take GWS apart next week with the Dusty show.

West Coast need to change their selection process, for to many years they have played an overly tall side with little to no forward pressure. Play the 2 big forwards (Kennedy & Darling) and load up the slick pacy small to medium forward around them. Even down back tonight we're far to tall and couldn't stop the run.
This has been an issue for the past 7 or 8 years not just under Simpson.
Need to make the most of the trade period and draft to fill up on players who can cover the ground and good around goals
