Terrific game from Carlyle in the ruck for Port, worked hard all day.
Garth and Podsy major culprits to the inaccurate scoreboard for Werribee missing quite a few opportunities.
As for the Port reserves, they have Williamstown and Frankston to come so they'll have to beat 1st or 2nd on the ladder to get in and rely on other results going their way so it appears slim. Frankston might be beatable given they just beat Coburg today.
I suspect the VFL will also be unhappy with a fan who entered the arena in the closing stages of the game but was stopped by club runners and the police.
Yeah Carlyle was absolutely terrifc, and I think rucked throughout the entire game and dominated against Wayde Skipper and Liam Gardiner.
It was a game full of errors with kicking missing targets, but both sides attacked relentlessly making it a good game to watch despite the frequent turnovers.
Ports smalls in Raines and Cotchett were very good...
With the continuing absence of Pitt and Hazell, Matt Smith did well again finishing with 5 goals.
Not sure of the possesion count but Dylan Addison seemed to get a lot of the footy as well.
Did spend a bit of time on the forward line <carlyle> ,umpires were not the best,number 9,leo sayer,and number 7 beard,just didnt seem to give us a go,not that im complaining cause we got lost ,to their credit the boys put up a great effort.
Not Leo Sayer, that umpire is Cameron Nash.
Had a good day today, beautiful weather and first time I have done my stats work sitting in the grandstand which provies a great unintruded view of the ground.
Was great to finally meet, Ons who was introduced to me by Footyman.
Back to the bush for leo sayer (#9) , worst umpiring I have seen in years. Do not know who the fat albert was who invaded the field with 5 minutes to go . Needless to say he was caught fairly quickly . Don't get your knickers in a twist , no harm done. Good effort by the borough without pitty and hotdogs(hazell) in the forward line. Willy next week should be close.
Likewise!
Yep, I look forward to seeing more of you during the finals series.
