Get Bradtke off. F50 throw-in and he stands back allowing his opponent 10m in front to take an uncontested mark from the quick kick out of the stoppage.

Olden dumped 50m off the ball 35m out from goal. Goal! 

Rich  3.9-27
Port  5.6-36

Thank you, Maurice!

Getting Bradtke out of the forward line was a key factor too.

Smart move mentioned it earlier. Would have been a directive from the AFL coaches this week

Like giving Bradtke a go in the ruck as well

Granted he looks a bit lost around the ground but this is in part what the VFL is for; development

Been very disappointed with Steely Greene. Needs to learn to attach contests, not be a spectator

I'd say Hugo has been held out in the 2nd half in case there is late injury put tomorrow

[one-eyed]

Port defender dives on the ball and Melville wins the HTB free 25m out. Shanks the kick and it goes wide and barely makes the distances. Off Samson's hands for a throw-in.

Ball-up 40 out. By hand and knock-ons, it gets out to Johnson in the pocket who snaps the goal  .

Rich   8.10-58
Port    5.7-37

Thanks WP.

No Mansell today either. So he must be the sub.
