Firstly, a sincere round of
hearty congratulations to Fabian "Flash" Francis
and Stephen Paxman for their 100th and 200th games respectively.
Some great memories and, Fabian, seeing your 70m torp from
just outside centre to goal earlier on in the season is something
I will never forget for the rest of my life.
Back to winning ways and what
a fantastic game. Had everything in it and I can certainly
tell you that my voice suffered at the end of the night screaming
for joy, but more for screaming at the truly PATHETIC umpiring
which could have easily handed Richmond the game if they capitalised,
gained some momentum and were a bit more accurate.
It has to be the most aggressive
game I have seen Port play (even more than the Geelong game
earlier in the season) and I was super proud that we stood
up and dished it back. No one was seriously injured
as a result but we did lose Che to a hammy for 3 weeks (supposedly).
The return of Josh, Matty and Kingsley ( shortlived - I reckon
he'll get 2-3 ) was absolutely crucial in the midfield and
some absolutely standout performances by Monty, Tredders and
Stuey made it all happen. The way our defenders cut them off
was awesome and there was some brilliant attacking in the
start of the 2nd term when we did not let Richmond move the
ball out of our 50 for at least 7 - 8 minutes. Sensational.
Some really superb goals and
Stueys one handed grab off of a sloppy defensive kick off
Ottens and then a snap goal was a pearler. I turned to see
my mate, Conny, absolutely beaming with delight and couldn't
have felt happier. 2nd on the ladder. Too good. Thanks guys,
for a superb game.
Highlight:
1) Giving as good as we got. So good that Kingsley
got reported! Nice left jab, though Adam !
2) Flash and Pacco being led off the ground on their team
mates shoulders.
Lowlight:
1) Umpire Kelsey... you dirty maggot piece of shit.
