Who points at the scoreboard at 1/4 time when you're 4-5 up? Good work Hamish....

I thought Ken Hinkley handled that post-match press conference really well. Michelangelo Rucci was trying to put him to the sword and had a disgracefully condescending manner..asking questions with his hand resting on his chin etc. I thought Hinkley showed class by sitting back down without complaint to answer another Rucci question when the interview seemed over.

As an neutral who went tonight I can honestly say that is one of the most appalling umpiring displays (both ways) I have ever seen. And why were the Port supporters booing Dangerfield?

Geelong were ways going to work there way intonthe game. I thought there ruck combo was excellent, and the stoppage work was very good.

Port are just not good enough. And as much as we all say the crows looks better without Dangerfield, Geelong certainly look better for having him!

I think the crows have just adapted better to not having Dangerfield than everyone expected, I can't see any side who would be better without him in it.

Reckon there was about 20,000 left in the crowd at Adelaide oval with about 2 minutes to go...funny for a supporter group who don't leave early.

They started leaving in droves from the 11min mark of the last quarter. They were booing Dangerfield pretty early on,before any shenanigans had taken place. Not a great game, Geelong were workmanlike, Port were a rabble.

Reckon you're wrong with the figure, and it always makes me laugh, who gives a **** when people leave? Pathetically childish in my view.

Do you question people who show up late or go for a piss mid quarter?

Geelong targeted Gray and Wingard as our most dangerous at kept them virtually unseen. Enright gave Wingard a bath. Not the first player to be beaten by Boris.
