Richmond vs Port Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval --- Round 21, 2022

[FooffooValve]

McIntosh very impressive tonight good 4 quarter performance

Been huge - last week too. Pity he'll miss a game.

[mightytiges]

We get it back from the kick-in. Prestia finds Bolton on the lead 30 out. Misses.

That's 4.5 to Bolts.

109 - 70

Castagna 

[mightytiges]

It won't matter but that was dumb defending. Fumbled and fell over each other.

It's only a point to Port anyway.

109 - 71

[FooffooValve]

Need to get the hammy merchants off - Balta, Lynch, Cotch, Prestia.

Good win and back in the Eight  . One down, two to go!

Why in the world would anyone in their right mind put Castagna in defence? I saw him down there a few times and it was awkwardly uncomfortable to watch.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Bolton kick 9 straight in a final?

[Andyy]

Good win. Could have been a bigger margin but if you offered me this a few hours ago I'd have said yes please.

Some great players tonight. Nank, Cotch, Prestia, RIOLI, KMac, Lynch.

[Tiger Khosh]

Reading back on the thread you’d think we’d lost the game. Comfortable 6 goal win on the road against a good(ish) team and didn’t give them a sniff in the last qtr. Only real concern for me is the vlastuin injury.

[The Machine]

Impressive performance all round. I liked Miller playing the second ruck role, growing each week.

Might be a forward option too for replacing Jack
