Is there anywhere you can find a free kick break down? I was trying to remember how many holding the ball frees we got but I lost count.

Don't remember the last time we made so many tackles stick. I think Nick Graham got 3 or 4 himself.

If he was wearing a black jumper with a red sash - There would be nothing to see here

If he was wearing a black jumper with a red sash - He'd be a drug cheating, scum sucking, piece of shit.

If the MRP are consistent, and take the player's eventual well-being into account, then Gibbs will get off. Gray not only sat the game out on the bench, but wanted to come back on. He's completely fine.

Watching now:

Quarter 1

Goal port - turnover cripps (should have hand balled)

Goal port - turnover Simpson (way too slow)

Goal blues - crude tackle on hendo

Rushed blues - cripps wrong option, should have paid hendo mark

Goal blues- graham crumbs off pack, high kick in from everitt, brought to ground by kreuz

Rushed blues - everitt poor kick think he might have tried to kick the goal from 55m ended up falling well short (should have been a great pressure goal)

Goal blues - everitt smother then holding the ball

Point port - shit turnover by murphy could have cost us

Point port - shit umpiring (ball was out on full, called throw in) didn't cost us but could have been bad

Goal port - turnover gibbs kicking out of 50 (horrible)

Goal port - graham missed tackle on wines after throw in

Point port - kreuz didn't contest ruck easy tap out to port

Goal blues - bad port turnover (hendo got there to spill ball) everitt pick up and goal.

Notes:

murph turnover king, simmo not far behind
saw menzel once I think
cripps warming up
hendo presenting a lot

Quarter 2

Goal blues - armfield gets legged, lucky as murph's kick inside 50 was a turnover, into bad port turnover (lucky played on)

Point blues - murph bombed into 50, kind bounce almost miraculous goal to menzel

Goal port - carrots gives away dumb free, yaz fumbles ball, goes forward goal

Point port - yarran kicks goal (was in process of kicking across goal to team mate)

Goal blues - Rowe beats opponent and marks delivers perfectly to levi

Goal port - murph tries to knock ball on, port run on to it and goal

Goal blues - carrots cleans up gibbs turnover (2 in a row), handball to armfield who runs, to hendo who delivers to menzel, good mark and goal

Goal blues - wood off ground, kreuz, gibbs and cripps all involved, good work from wood to spook defender

Goal blues - cripps extracts, curnow, bell and carrots get handballs, back to cripps, amazing over the head handball (while being tackled), bell goes on great run for goal

Goal blues- cripps, graham and bell combine, delivers to everitt BANG

Point port - dropping the ball on cripps (shit work by simmo)

Goal port - high tackle from white, long kick into 50, off hands port crumbs and goals

Goal port - port crumb off ball up on their 50 and goal (too easy)

Goal port - tuohy long kick turnover, port go forward, graham misses tackle, goal

Gibbs puts gray into turf zzz zzz zzz

Notes:

Cripps superstar
Blues physical towards end of quarter (mainly cripps)
Murphy a bit better
Kreuz looking like his former self with 2nd efforts. (Still rusty though)
Red time goals

First time in the longest time I'm excited about next week.

Anyone else reminded of the Fraser Brown tackle with the Doc's tackle in the last quarter?

"Why did the umpire call for a ball-up instead of just calling play-on after Brad Ebert's pass to Sam Colquhoun was ruled touched near goal?"

Why? Because it's the rules you @#$%&! cretin.

I don't think he even acknowledged he was wrong when assumedly many people would've pointed this out. Just let it hang there like the bad ignorant fart that it was. Probably hundreds of morons agreeing with him on it too. Because unfortunately that's the power that that undeserved little blue tick next to his name has.

Interesting that Gray passed the concussion test at halftime and it was Port that decided to rest him anyway.
That MUST affect the decision and surely wouldn't result in suspension.

Not surprising ...
Welcome to Adelaide.
Where anything that goes against the Crows or Port or both is like a declaration of war.

I was a bit more disappointed in Adam Hartlett's ranting .... although the fact that it was his brother's 100th game might explain the frustration:
