I've done all sorts of knee injuries, but i am having trouble trying to work out what he could've done there.
To me it seems like hammy, but i'm not a doctor.

Smart ball movement. Just get it forward at all costs.
Hewett using his brain to drop his shoulder and earn a free for high contact.
Kudos should go to the 2 blokes before that. Not sure who was the first one was (Ainsworth?) but both he and Ison were on their backs with a quick handball forward into space that lead to that goal.

Yeah, thats when your lower leg goes backwards (the knee on knee ruck injury) but thats not right for where he grabbed.....and with no contact.
My google...... When a football player sprints and immediately grabs the lower hamstring just above the knee, it is most commonly an acute hamstring strain (specifically tearing of the distal biceps femoris tendon or musculotendinous junction)

Pitto is getting smashed in the ruck IMO. If he can have a better 2nd half we're a good chance. Frankie playing his best game for the year, thank goodness. Billy has been much better. Maybe coming to grips with the pace of the game. Cow good. Derksen good. Dean real good. Cripps dominating. Walsh not bad but been a bit cute at times. Ison is what Moir could be like. Up at 1/2 time. not usre if that is a good sign?

Impressive. Can they do that for another 2 quarters or will the half time funk set in? As I said earlier, be nice to go on with it.
The funk left with Vossy. Onwards and upwards..

Ball movement great. Only thing they need to clean up is kicking to a contest at chf or in the middle. They’ve tried a couple,e of cute kicks, like Walsh just before the break, to 50/50 contests in bad positions, that have slingshotted way too easily the other way

Pitto has struggled with Sweet in the past. I know I go on about rucks, but we really need a modern ruckman.

I thought it was Cowan that tried to go through the middle to a 2 on one contest that was turned over?

Yep, that was another one. But Walsh did it after the free at the centre bounce

Makes up for him ducking his head in the 2nd. Oh wait. That's not confirmed yet.

Can't believe we've gone from 8.0 to 12.12. Only the other hand, if someone said we'd be 41pts up at this stage of the game I'd take it.

I see your point but on the other hand I'll take just finishing on well in the last qtr after being in front all game as it is where we normally blow it. Will do our young blokes the world of good.

I’m no tactical genius, but why don’t port put Horne Francis where the ball is? Good things happen when he has it. Wasted at half forward

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.

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.
