Review Port defeat Carlton - Rd 5, 2021

[PowerBaz]

R18 2019 v Richmond

I guess Covid in between didn't help.

Still drooling over Sir Robert blind turning out from within those two Carlton players in the middle in the last term. Shame there wasn’t a 2 legged player to kick it to.

Bergman looks like he could be some player in 30-50 games time. Moves around the ground a bit like Brendon Goddard - if he becomes half the player Goddard was I’d be over the moon.

Even the mistakes he makes aren’t poor decisions or issues with technique, he just needs to find the pace of the game and realise he has more than enough time to take a steadying step before kicking.

And he is more than happy to bite off a tough kick has missed a few but the attacking mind set I love.

 

[Imhotep]

Last night showed our best system is Lycett leading the ruck, and Charlie, Todd and Mitch the three talls. They seem to feed off each other, and they aren't going to the same spot. The more games they play together the better it is for us. I think Ladhams has played himself out of the side, as Dunstall said he tends to get in the way and our delivery inside 50 is a lot more kick and hope with Ladhams in there with Charlie and co.

No surprise to me Dixon played his best game for the season without Ladhams in the way.

Haha I said this exact thing about ladhams before the game.

Good solid performance whilst limping over the line. Geo has a the best kick on goal in our Trident forward.

It was unfortunate that bounce of the ball didn't go Hartlett's way from Robbie steal... another one for Robbie's highlight reel, he just keeps adding.

Off the track here, but I think hype on Dustin Martin is somewhat warranted, but I would say that Robbie is on par if not better than Dusty.... that's my opinion.

 

[1954]

I was a tad disappointed with the last qtr effort but understand the reasons for it, so we bank the 4 points and move on.

The player that still concerns me though is Tom Jonas, who is absolutely crucial to our chances when the whips are cracking in the finals.
Last season he was excellent, but in the two before that he could at times look like some unco bloke they dragged off the terraces to make up the numbers, and last night was a reminder of those days and some of his efforts would have made Clyde the camel look like peak Fred Astaire.

He could be carrying some sore spots atm but he will need to lift big time against the better teams because he will be picking up much better oppo players than Levi Casboult

Was good to hear Dunstall give high praise to Mitch for his kicking technique, especially after this embarrassing little tirade last year:

 

[TeeKray]

Drew will grow to be an offensive/defensive mid, his absolute ceiling is a Jimmy bartel like player.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[Imhotep]

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa

Im not saying he is going to reach that ceiling as consistently as Bartel, but his absolute best games will be on par with Bartels.

You know that's satire don't you?

 

[PAFC04]

Yup I'm in the same boat.

Can see he is going to be a player, but his ball handling was off. He managed to get out of the situation anyway, but unnecessary pressure and won't always get Away with it

I would put that down to perceived pressure. Last week his alertness was in tune with the game, this game he played in the same mode, but didn't realize that he had more time than he thought against Carlton.

He has a great attack on the ball, but I really love his composure that he shows.

Would he still be the player we know and love him less thus far without the mullet and mustache?

 

[pastmyprimus]

You couldn't ask for a better game from a defender. Aliir was amongst our best. He got in some crucial spoils, took strong marks and offered run out of defence.

Thank you Sydney.

 

[AFC AFeederClub]

i was really impressed with Bergman, i watched his disposal and i think he did 1 clanger in the third and the rest was pretty good, Jones looks like he struggled with the pace of the game and constantly turned the ball over, id be replacing him with leinart, mckenzie or bonner.

 

[backtozero]

Carlton's lack of success doesn't annoy me because, well why would it? What does annoy me is the privileges they enjoy based on nothing.

In the first 5 rounds they've enjoyed;
Round 1: Thursday night vs. Richmond
Round 2: Thursday night vs. Collingwood
Round 4: Saturday night vs. GC
Round 5: Saturday night vs Port

All completely undeserved. Stick them in the Sunday afternoon slot where they belong and stop making us all endure this charade.

 

[FishingRick04]

In relation to Mitch, I enjoy watching him kick normal drop punts for goal also. It means he backs in his kicking routine, like a true forward should.

 

[Us against the rest]

Considering our injury list late in the game we dug deep for the win, well done Port.

 

[Doctor Feel]

What exactly are Cripps' weapons?

 

[Willsy10]

Great win all things considered. Big game on Anzac Day.

Georgiades has kicked 10 goals in 4 games @ 2.5 per game. If he played 22 games, that's a 55 goal season. He's taking the piss really.

There's been some outrageous calls on BF and I don't want this to come across as one.....

But he's a classic old school FF in the Scott Hodges mould. Moves and kicks a bit like Scotty too at the same age.
If anything Hodges leaned back a little too much when kicking for distance which Mitch doesn't.

Mitch looks to be a very capable footballer in this era, but in the bygones..... Wow.

You know jimmy bartel? One of the greats, Brownlow medallist? Yeh? Absolute matchinner? Yeh

his best games wouldn’t get anywhere near bartels

 

[PAFC_1870]

So you didn’t see the last quarter

By AFL standards, the umpiring was fine

 

[Windy Cindy]

By AFL standards, the umpiring was fine

By carlton, western bulldogs and west coast standards yes

 

[PAFC_1870]

By carlton, western bulldogs and west coast standards yes

Didn't notice em.

I'll stand by that.

We didn't care in the last. Nothing to do with Umpires.

 

[Duck Farmer]

Aliir "Candyman" Aliir and Robbie "720" Gray.

That is all.
