Ebert brave as. Hope he is ok.

Jeez. Tigers just keep bloody winning.

So envious of that club.

Another game won by a ruckman giving crucial first use to the mids. Nankervis was massive tonight

Yep. His two marks in D50 in the last quarter where huge.

Umpires had no baring on the result.

Tigers are just too damn good. A model of great drafting balanced with the right trades and a fantastic system.
They suffered for so long, they've become a monster now; they'll win the lot.

I’m not sure how anyone can watch this finals series and think anything but a physical, strong genuine ruckman is incredibly critical to a teams success.

Frustrating seeing the Tigers keep finding their way into these scenarios to build on the legacy of their initial flag.

Watching that game I can’t help but think how far off the pace we are....

Richmond were too good. Composed.

That was just about the most remarkable spoil I've seen.

Also clearances in the last qtr were something like 14-4 Richmond's way. It is usually a big strength of Port.

Yep , he took crucial marks in the last quarter , chopping out Dixon. NANKERVIS class above lycett and laudhams

Agree with all the comments of importance and hope Bevo can see that

We did have 2 rucks in 2016, executing their role

Kamdyn Macintosh showed some class to tonight . Big body mid, stood up. Astbury was good as well

Would love a Bolton type in our team

Re: 2020 Finals Footy - the Prelims and Grand Final Discussion

What a brutal match. Port did so much right. It’s so hard to break down Richmonds systems even when you’re on top of them for periods. I’m officially depressed that the Tigers are doing what we couldn’t, that on what I saw tonight we are very far off the pace, and that 2016 seems a zillion years away.

Re: 2020 Finals Footy - the Prelims and Grand Final Discussion

Given the conditions, I wonder if Port should have selected Westhoff instead of Marshall with an injury cloud. Westhoff would have had the nous to get to the right spots in F50, and also would have been able to play spare down back when needed. His lack of pace would not have been exposed in those conditions.
