Port should feel a bit ripped by the umps in the last quarter.

Geelong stepped up in the second half.
Tremendous season from Port, they've become relevant ( don't think there is anything more insulting than being referred to as Irrelevant).Tremendous insight from our coach on the ABC, he and Kenny Hinkley are good mates. Joel Selwood got them back, and thought Chapman was great early.
Gotta say on that form Hawthorn will cream Geelong, but you never know with this curse.

Hawthorn will be favourites but based on their form against them they'll make the GF.

Re: 2013 AFL Finals Series

So dissapointed. Never fully realized how many Geelong players I dislike. Port are absolutely my favourite team outside us, very exciting to watch.

Umpiring tonight was crap. Every decision was a very technical free with no feel for the game. The worst was that play late in the third where Geelong were running the ball out of the Backline and Port forced about 4 great tackles which were all borderline free kicks this year (guaranteed any other year when players actually have to get rid of it correctly) and then a Port guy went to pick it up, fell over as he did so in the contest and got down for holding th ball. So frustrating.

Port fluffed it after half time. Needed to hang tough and slow the game down. Should come with experience.

Free to Corey against Carlisle in the goal square should have been play on - but really 31 to 20 scoring shots told the story.

Also missing three gimme goals in the first hurts big time.

Bingo! I watched quietly until that part of the game. All of them were holding the ball or incorrect disposal apart from the one they actually paid. I'm pretty sure Selwood threw the ball from his chest in one of those tackles.

Totally agree!

Incorrect disposal rule... is there such a thing anymore??

Yep, on his back and just threw it out. I hate it when the umpire immediately yells "gotta get it out" when someone tries to win the ball. All it does is encourage the opposition to hold it in for a cheap free kick, rather than encourage ball movement which is the intention of the umpire.

Incorrect disposal isn't a rule that applies to Geelong.

How does that bloke ever get a run. Should be doing VAFA if anything.

Re: 2013 AFL Finals Series

Does anyone give Carlton a chance tonight?

For some strange reason, I think they will somehow get up.

Wonder if its because deep down I want to be able to say we beat a top four team this year?
