A few minutes earlier, Richmond debutant Jason Castagna was involved in a controversial passage of play. The 19-year-old performed a blind turn and a sidestep before passing inside 50 to Anthony Miles, who was unlucky not to be paid either a mark or a free kick for high contact. The extended booing by the Tiger army said it all.

About the only period during the game last night where we looked to have a bit of a run on and our momentum dropped dead after Port scored a goal straight after the mark wasn't paid to Miles.
Was it touched?
-
It was clearly touched but should have been a free kick for high contact. One of about three costly howlers in the penultimate stages of the game.
-
Missed holding the ball decision in 3rd quarter was critical as well

Not that I think it would have changed the result
But how it wasn't a free for head high contact is staggering.
We had a run on and mentioned took the wind out of our sails, which sadly shows again mentally fragile we are
