No doubt...both he and Gibbs were challenged by the coach and delivered. Murphy looked better down forward and his finishing was important.

Credit also to Yarran who played very well and his work was very classy at times....

Credit must go to Malthouse who really put the onus on the leaders and even Duigan I thought was a valuable player...

Big question is can this same group of players who won the game for us tonight led by Murphy deliver again next week....

Credit to Malthouse!!!!

Did you see him in the coaches box during the 3rd, he had given up!!!

I tell you what made the difference, they gave that stupid boundary hugging crap the ar5eholla. Let Murphy, Gibbs and Yarran actually play some football and went through the middle of the ground!

You can credit MM for the first 3 quarters, not the last!

I think the Pies were told they'd get a Sunday final in return for playing round 23 on the Sunday.

Whoever plays Collingwood gets the Sunday final I think.

Although Fox are stating otherwise.

Great work today MBB

MM and the players deserved the kicking thy got in the In Game Thread.  I don't regret anything I said because they were playing without soul or for the jumper.

But that last quarter was their best 30 minutes for the year.  They played with intensity and heart and genuine belief and they were lead by a man who took 23 rounds to work out what's needed to be a Captain.

This has nothing to so with MM's gameplan.  In the first three quarters Port ran harder and played smarter.  We kicked long to their loose man and didn't run to man up when they had the ball.  In fact we had the ball over 100 less times in the first half because we weren't willing to compete.  Again, nothing to do with hugging the boundary line.

But when they faltered and ran out of legs we finally pounced and it's a credit to top up players like Bell and Duigan that they were there to make an impact.

MM is a great coach.  20 final series to his name.  There's only so much you can do with players who may have raw talent but no intelligence.

It's nice that we've made it into the Finals but for me the measure of Mick will be next year.  He won't be able to blame the last regime just like Abbot will blame Rudd if he wins next week.

In the meantime roll on the Tiges.

Hey do you know how many times in the game I wanted to reach for the keyboard and let fly? For some strange reason I thought if I did I'd end up with egg on my face!
