We finally put some decent team possession together to control the ball forward with short passes. Menadue runs into goal but misses.

2 v 1 in the goalsqusre but the port player takes a screamer over Chol, sweep it up the other end and goal to port  classic 12 point turnaround

Should've been a 1 goal margin. Instead it's 3 goals. We've challenged port this qtr but made no headway

Men against boys

[Ruanaidh]

Chol not even close to AFL standard.

Got to hand it to Port - showing real character.

[tony_montana]

Ports a pretty good side and we are undermanned today in all fairness.

Bolton got a bit of mongrel - I like it but having said that he goes in and spoils his teammate Chol who should've taken an easy chestmark

[Knighter]

Menadue and C Ellis both massive busts. Both softer than a pillow

We had a few shots in that quarter where we had momentum.and failed to convert. Port made us pay for it and i think its game over.
Still good to watch the seconds though which i rarely get to see
