How the 11th team can be favourites over the 2nd team on a huge winning streak is ridiculous. But I'll be there.
I've been posting in the pre-game 🙃
Harry knee injury -sub activated. Doesn’t look good at all. He looks dejected.
3.6.
Q1 wasted chances
Who was out before the game?
Terrible luck for H. Equally terrible sub selection should have been Young not Dow, we look short all of a sudden and vulnerable if TDK hurts himself.
Sounds serious. Let's hope not
Hyper extended sort of, didn't look that bad. Fingers crossed.
Some Excellent composure on show today 👏🏽
Let’s keep going!
Keep it going boys. Killing it at the moment. Great stuff.
Gary Lyon ‘it’s beautiful, gorgeous to watch’
Yes Garry it really is.
De Koning injured hand ?
"I told you he was the one" :D
Motlop
Dominating every facet. Please don't lose because of inaccurate kicking for gal.
Have you always been inaccurate chasing the gals?...haha
Lol. It's been a problem for decades.
Dangerous last 6 mins of this quarter. Can see them kicking 2-3 here. Hope not
Is there any farken danger we can chip it around bit and maintain possession instead of kicking to a contest only for it to come back I50. Control the bloody game bit.
Port are a quality unit and they won't just roll over. Will be a very tough 2nd half.
Gotta play tempo footy everyone and again when they get a run of clearances. Deny them the footy and work it forward in a structured manner.
Cripps, Cerra and Hewett need to start having an influence. Butters, Rosee, Wines and Boak are all coming into the game.
Just a momentum shift in that last half of the quarter.
The breaks probably come at a good time for a reset.
They're not second on the ladder for no reason.
Exactly what I’m thinking. In no way am I thinking our work is done. They will believe they will run over us. Still pleased where we sit but need to not go in our shells and show manic pressure from the start.
Good to see Port spraying them as much as us.
41 points up. Loving it.
Dow not getting too much of it so far. How about laying a tackle or 5 please
Saad off.
Port junk time goal again
Well done on the line Jack 👏🏼
Needed to by 40+ pts at 3/4 for me to be remotely comfortable agains this mob.
23 role players out there 👍🏼
Reset. Rinse and repeat. Keep the pressure on until the final siren and sit this mob on their coc*y ar#<
Go Blues
Weiters down holding his knee, he’s back up but…
Nice reward for Newman 🌭
Good kick Dow
Great to see Walshy and Curnow lift late.
Percentage caaaaaarlton
Ok so Im pretty comfortable now
same.
So nice to be able to relax.
I'm never relaxed until the final siren.
Cerra injured?
Love Curnow getting the ball to ground with advantage
Cracked the ton. Beat the team sitting 2nd by 8 goals plus change. I'm sweating on a few injuries, but that's a super effort.
Move across to the Post game thread and we'll lock this one up.
And the tackle on Bird Jones will result in a suspension to Boyd was it?
