Carlton hit the post 5 times, Port Adelaide 4 times.

Port Adelaide also had 5 more scoring shots - so shouldn't that suggest they should of won?

Actually it was Carlton 6 and Port 3.

I suppose it depends on where you are taking your shots from.

I think to say one team or the other "should have" won would be incorrect in this case as the game was clearly up for grabs for most of the night. A pretty evenly fought contest and from Carlton's point of view, given all of the circumstances, a draw is almost as good as a win.

My apologies, I knew it was hit nine times on the night and I swear to God Triple M said Port hit it four times so I just used logic there.

Well true, but you'd think Port leading the inside 50 count 54-49 would suggest that it didn't matter where they took their shots from, because they would of had a greater chance of scoring than Carlton (note: more inside 50s).

You could say Carlton were their worst enemy because Port Adelaide also had 5 of their behinds rushed throughout the night to Carlton's 1. I suppose that goes down to pressure on defenders, which in turn, the Blues buckled under.

Neither team should of won. Both had their chances - Port especially in the last quarter, kicking 2.10 - but neither team could break away.

I'd say it was a fitting result. I wouldn't say if Carlton were offered a draw pre-game that they would take it, but they would certainly come out of the game happy because, for them, it is generally hard to pull the four points away from a contest against Port at AAMI.

Did you take rushed behinds into account? There was a fair few of those is the last quarter.

IIRC, Wayne Carey cut his knee open on a square post.


yeah but theyre round now. They were replaced shortly after that incident i think, and they were replaced again before this season to increase the height of the goals.

Three of their 10 behinds were rushed in the last quarter. But still, seven behinds is a hell of a lot of behinds to score in a quarter. 2.7 is a poor return.

No one won... simple as that. There are things to suggest both teams should have won, but neither did.
I suppose you could say, if Carlton were more efficient, they would of won.

Effective Disposals:
Port - 264/314 = 84%
Carl - 199/258 = 77%

But as you said - both teams had areas in the game that if they capitalised on, would of won them the game. Port (kicking straighter) and Carlton (more efficient).
