AFL Rd 12: Carlton vs Port Adelaide in Adelaide
Rating: A
To beat Port at home, especially when we are still so far from full strength, was nothing short of excellent. For three quarters it was something of a slog, but the last … That quarter harked back to better times.
Votes:
I must admit I found giving votes much harder than normal. We were the better team in the first 3 quarters, but they always seemed to find something to hit back, and we weren’t always winning in the centre square. But we really found a way to win.

[0.5] George Hewett
Explanations:
[2] Sam Walsh: Probably our most consistent midfielder on the night, Sam had 34 possessions, 13 Tackles and 8 clearances.
[1.5] Patrick Cripps: Not his biggest night, but when the game was there to win, he had 9 possessions and kicked 2 goals. A leader.
[1.5] Tom de Konng: Tom was probably beaten in the ruck duels on the night, but his game around the ground was brilliant. Important marks, a great goal and 8 clearances indicated just how important he was.
[1.5] Nic Newman: Another extra-solid game from Newman.
[1.5] Jacob Weitering: Destroyed his opponents.
[1.5] Zac Williams: Did a good job as a negative forward and kicked 3 good goals, 2 from great snaps. Loved his game.
[1.5] Alex Cincotta: Continuing to be a great stopper.
[1] Blake Acres: Another more than solid effort from Blake.
[1] Harry McKay: Did a great job providing a target forward.
[0.5] Charlie Curnow: Patchy, as he has been for much of the year, but those good patched were match-winners.
[0.5] Elijah Hollands: Another solid game from the youngster.
[0.5] Brodie Kemp: A great job inn defence.
[0.5] George Hewett: Another excellent contributor in the middle.
Honourable Mentions:
Adam Saad: Not as much drive as he can produce, but kept his opponent on a starvation diet.
Ollie Hollands: Didn’t get big numbers, but did some nice things.
Lachie Fogarty: His work as a defensive forward makes a real difference to us.
Matthew Kennedy: Solid again as a mid and half-forward.
Jordan Boyd: Excellent job as a small defender.
