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

As Napoleon said, 'Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake!"

Very apt tonight.

Port are have been their own worst enemy i reckon.

There has been some flashes of brillianace from them. Streaking through the midfield, linking up with forward handballs, after forward handballs, delivering the last handball ready for the shot on goal from 30......fumbled, turnover.

Similar to us most weeks (and indeed the 2nd half tonight as well). Thankfully our kicking boots were very much on in the 1st half and kept us in front.
We played against Yartiapuulti apparently, not Port....lol

Not sure how we kick so well at goal for 50 minutes then kicking at goal really poorly after that. Polar opposite. After we got our first 8 we then kicked 5.14 for the rest of the game. We could have won that by 70. I'm just happy to have a decent win and finish on rather than chuck it away when in front. Helps so much.
