If Dixon had kicked straight it would have been a comfortable Port win imo.
Thats one way to look at it, sure.
But how did Port get those chances?
50-50 umpiring calls went their way......especially in the last.
Harry in a holding match in the goalsquare = free kick port. Turn that the other way and they don't get close. Better yet, don't call anything but play on....and we win that game.
Eddies tackle, dropping the ball....nah, play on.
I think we got a kicking in danger called against us in the last....at least i think it was for that as i have no idea what it was for otherwise. You get that paid about 5% of the time......or 100% of the time if its against us in the last quarter.
So sure, have that belief if you want and it is somewhat valid. But Port don't get those calls if the umpiring was consistent....or even fair.
