Port player’s attempted mark gets spoiled, contact with the head from a glancing blow after the fact. Free kick to Port in front of goal, with a miss as the correct result
Woeful kicking with the wind by us. After very good form leading up to the finals, we really seem to have gone off the boil. Opponents seem much more effective around the packs and have stopped our running handball game. Hard work now against the wind.
Most of our Footscray top up players are small and light and against strong bodies like those of Port and Willi they are easily out-muscled. Considering the rain and Port's lead the cause seems lost. Any hope??
I hope the umpiring in this game is not an example of what we will see later today in Sydney. It is absolutely disgraceful. So many holding the balls not paid
