Houli intercepts well and then lowers his eyes and finds Morris. Misses though

56 - 1

[mightytiges]

Breaking forward again. Vickery marks well forward of centre. Off to Dusty who gives the don't argue and Jack marks on a difficult angle. Jack wants to dish it off to Lids and we stuff it up. That's two goals mucked up this quarter.

[mightytiges]

First time we drop off defensively and Port kick their first.

Dusty brought his own footy.

[Go Richo 12]

Rance, Grimes, Chaplin playing well down back.
Ivan killing it in the ruck, Dusty is best on in my opinion.
Ball movement is mainly through the corridor.
Pressure acts are good, its stifling Ports usual running game.
Miles is having a typical Miles game.
Jack well held up forward.
Some silly, indecisive, 8 goals up stuff crept in.
