Quickfire start....both teams running the ball up and down the ground.

Brown marks 55 out on a tough angle. Poor kick, out on the full.

Mahoney has started well

Free in the middle...ball ends up with Akermanis on the lead. 50 out....he played on and stuffed it up.

Pettigrew a nice pass to Montgomery. 45 out, tight angle. Tough kick. Across the face...Tredrea a big pack mark in the goalsquare. Goals.

Bloody fantastic quarter of football this is so far. Lightning quick...some great stuff by both teams.

Burgoyne looks to have seriously hurt a knee. Slipped over when trying to stop and came down awkwardly on the knee.

Kingsley gets the ball from the throw in....turns around uncontested inside 50....goals. Great start Port.

good start to the game, but three quarters to go. Good stuff by the youngsters.

Looks like a great battle between Cornes and Voss.

Mahoney is playing effing awesome, thats what i wanna see.

 

[Macca19]

A great quarter of football by both teams. Played a fast pace and some good hard football played. A few mistakes by Brisbane that Port pounced on. Brisbane quite sloppy actually. Port intercepted a number of passes.

Top start by the Power. Definately switched on that quarter. Mahoneys played the best quarter of football you'd ever imagine, Shaun and Gav were great. Tredrea played well...Monty and Wakelin were strong down back. Chad and Voss are having a great battle.

Brisbane will hit back hard this quarter as they always do...weve just gotta make sure we match them.

 

[Macca19]

Peter is back on.

Wilbur holds onto it far too long, holding the ball dead in front of goal. Very poor.

Mcgrath goals

how bad is burgoynes injury? slight strain, or is he out for a few weeks? I still have a little bit of hope, and this would make life alot harder

Spewing that I won't get to see this on FTA.

But we definitely owe 'em for the draw in '97 that cost us a finals spot.

Let's return the favour!

 

[Macca19]

Walshy finds Dew...plays on quick and finds Pettigrew about 35 out on a 45 degree angle. Would be a good goal....BEAUTIFUL KICK!!!!!!!

P 7.6

48 to 32 at halftime.

Very very good half of football by the Power. We played hard and tough, we used the ball well and poiunced on Brisbanes mistakes. Brisbane made a lot of kicking errors...kicks that got picked off. Im still not confident of a win but weve played very well so far.

Best players - Shaun Burgoyne has been magic down back again. Wakelin is giving Brown - who doesnt look anywhere near fit - a bath, Cassisi is shadowing Akermanis very well, Dew came into it that quarter, Mahoney had a great 1st quarter, Peter has done some nice things, as has Gav.

We are playing well...but if Brisbane start playing better then it will be tough. Gotta get the first goal after the break.

 

[spookism]

We are playing well, but we've got a half to go.
Chappy, Junior Burg and Wakes playing well in defence / mid field.
No real standouts as of yet, but Cassisi is givin Akers an absolute bathing.

One thinks Brown would not of played if this was not a do or die clash. Wakelin killing him.

Go you Power!

 

[Power & Proud]

We've played well, but we've got to maintain it and keep Brisbane under control. Mahoney is havin a hella of a game so far. Wilba doing very nicely down back as is Chaplin. I'm very impressed with this kid so far.

POWER! POWER! POWER!
