Last week before the game I said there's no way the AFL are going to let Port win.. If you have executives profiting from crowd revenue this question will always be asked..

Demetriou was whining about the Port and freo finals costing him 6 figures pus. He's not biased though.

Can you tell me which way?

Because all I have seen is a couple both ways.

Maybe you need to relax

Exactly. Gringo, you and Curly are out of the same stable. Have watched the whole game and they've missed a few bbut have generally been pretty good. No howlers.

Yeah, but Rioli did play on. Maybe he didn't hear the whistle or call. But he handballed so it's play on.

Would have been a cruel injustice if Hawks had lost by less than a goal after that out on the full at the end of the third wasn't called and Cats got a goal out of it.

Nobody will agree with me but I reckon they got the goal review wrong in the first quarter. The one that was called a point but was overruled because it was touched over the line. There just wasn't enough clear evidence to over rule.

not too shattered with the result.

I would have followed the hawks if i hand't stuck with the saints and when you think of it we were very similar clubs until the 71 GF.

If Rioli played on then it should have been 50 metres as the guy came in from behind to tackle and should have been 5 metres away after the mark. Milney always gets 50 against for the same thing.

Didn't see that. Can't comment. Looked to me like Cyril thought he'd taken a mark and everyone stopped for a split second. Then he thought he hadn't been paid so played on, not realising he could go back and have a shot.

Reckon it was a clear goal myself. You could see the whole ball behind the posts before Lake got a hand on it.

And that is exactly what the cameras in the posts are for. I couldn't believe it when they were checking every angle except the goal line to start with.

You could see the ball probably over the line with Lake's hand on it but the goal post camera is so poor the previous frame shows the ball half a metre short. Unless you can see the ball clearly over the line without a hand on it, I don't think there's enough evidence to overrule.
