Commentating - honestly, does the league nor TV stations not care one iota about professionalism? The amount of talent chomping at the bit to be footy commentators and we are left with a parochial Adelaidean and the recent ex coach of our opposition. I heard more about Butters being half back than I did about the entirety of our team and performance.

This is not just bias, it is unprofessional.  Sick
Of these old guys commentating games when there is young talent wanting to do it but get no look in.

I'm not gonna lie, after kicking 8-9 straight, I thought we were going to have a big night. Our stoppage work and ball movement was very good. Some the brain fades in front of goal really cost us a massive win.
In any case, a wins a wins which for us is a lot. Best players for mine were
Smith  Cripps Walsh Florent Hayward McGovern and a special mention to Dean and Derksen in defence..

This was a great win! Lots to Learn from - Flynn and Billy and Derks made a few Errors - particularly i feel for Flynn as he obvs felt he needed to kick the goal
To be valuable and missed it!  But look how much better Billy played with a bit On continuity.

Dean is just chef’s kiss- He makes errors
But he has innate confidence within himself.

Jagga is chefs kiss - the speed of those hands.  Ison and Byrne are terrific.

Cow - love him.

Couldn't put them away, but a win is a win is a win!

Carlton: 13 - 14 - 92
We kicked 5 - 14 after our start!
Port Adelaide: 8 - 10 - 58

When they kicked 3 in a row, I was worried. But we really responded after that. A pity we can't kick straight.

Cripps: 31 possessions, 8 clearances, 5 tackles and goal.
Sam Walsh: 28 possessions, 3 clearances, 2 tackles and a goal.
Jagga Smith: 27 possessions, 4 clearances and 1 tackle.
George Hewett: 26 possessions, 4 clearances, 3 tackles and goal.
Ollie Florent: 26 possessions, 1 clearance, 3 tackles.
Billy Wilson: 22 possessions, 1 tackle - this is the only thing that worries me about Billy. I want to see him taking guys down!
Bic Newman: 21 disposals, 3 tackles.

Port had 2 guys doing all the lifting, Horne-Francis & Butters. If it wasn't them, it was nobody.
We had a real team performance. When one guy goes quiet two more stood up.

Jagga very solid.  Had time, gave great first options and didn’t waste it
