Poor first quarter. Poor intensity.
Dominant second quarter but failed to put it on the scoreboard.
Fought hard in the third to even the contest and hang in there.
Disappointing last quarter after getting within less than a kick. Had the momentum but the turning point was the kick inside 50 where we had 2-vs-1 and the kick went high to Allir's advantage and Port easily go down the other end for a soft goal. After that they beat us up in the clearances and inside 50s as we ran out of steam.
Umps (esp. Leigh Fisher) did us no favours. Different rules today for each team. But ultimately, we're not good and polished enough to capitalise due to our poor skills and finishing. Summed up our season.
ps. Not sure why Samson was subbed off when he was. Sure he was quiet in the first half but we had a mismatch up forward against Burton and Samson had just kicked a goal before 3/4 time so his confidence would've been up. We lacked structure forward of the ball once he went off. I don't understand why Clarke is the sub either. Aside from that late goal in junk time, Clarke has been ineffective.
