And Port, well, was that a finals game of football, or was that an “open” training session with black and yellow witches hats?

Seriously, why did Richmond bother making the trip.

They couldn’t have stuffed it up any more.

I can’t wait for someone to ask Trent Cotchin the logic behind his decision to kick into a stiff northerly.

I captained 142 games and never kicked into the wind. The only other bloke I know that did it was my old mate Shaun Rehn when he captained the Hawks one day at AAMI Stadium against the Crows.

By quarter time we were up by eight goals, the game was done and I’ve never let him forget about it.

Maybe Trent should have rung Rehny before he made the same fatal mistake.

Having said that, Port were very, very good.

But like their 103-point win against Carlton a fortnight ago, it’s hard to get a form line when the opposition have such a bad day.

That's a really good point and I don't think this has been asked yet.

Wind played no factor at all. It was the flatness of our team which undid us. In the second quarter Port still outscored us and they did not have the wind. We had a very bad day.

Agree, even if we kicked with the wind I reckon they would have had a couple goals on us at quarter time and then would have run over us in the second

Rance wins vital contest
Ellis miss tackle
Rance wins key contest

Cotch...You need to understand one thing when you play in Adelaide. You never ever, ever kick against the breeze.

D) Cotch I have captained many things in life and you will learm from this. Don't take this to heart we all have to learn the hard way sometimes and one thing you learn is you can only get better from your mistakes in life. Trust me I have made plenty but have got stronger and better from them.

Cotch - You need to get some inside information from your loyal supporters when playing interstate in the future.

I'm sure Cotch will reply as soon as he reads your post  ;D

Micky changes everything depending on which way the wind blows. List management, press conferences, his jocks that's our mickey
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Why bother, what's the point of that? It's about going forward, not back.

Yep, watched it twice

Thought it was woeful being there.

Have to say it is one of those rare games where the TV coverage makes it looks even worse

OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
