Shultz beats Warnock 1 on 1 and lines up for certain goal, kicks it. We are all over them in general play and inside 50 yet are only 4 points up now.

Jurrah gets it

Port 1.0.6

Melbourne 2.4.16

PA definitely have the wind though. Dermott also says that going to Port's end is a little easier as there is some sort of slope downwards.

Jurrah gets a HTB free kick. Wakelin says we're livelier and Port's crap.

Jurrah nails it!

serious question here.... but why do players go straight to the bench after a goal?

Good pressure from LJ finishes it with a goal

How is Moloney looking after all that time out? Newton and Warnock?

Behind to Port

Port 1.1.7

Melbourne 2.4.16

Cale Morton marks 15 metres out on a slight ankle.

Brett Ebert has done a calf/achilles or something.

Morton hits the post, terrible miss.

Morton hits the post

Melbourne 2.5.17

Haha mixing up Morton with Newton

Warnock almost had his head 'pop off'.. will be an interesting one for the tribunal.... definately looked BAD but unsure of his view on the whole situation... Morton sprays it from inside 50 no discernable angle. Blast! Port 7 Melb 17 9.10 remaining in the first

Do better Morton!!!

Morton needs a big game today. Hasn't had the greatest 2010, to put it quite nicely.

52 disposals to 34 in our favour, 8 inside 50s to 5 in our favour as well.

Goal to Gray

Not capitalising on our dominance atm.

Watts in a spot of bother..

serious question here.... but why do players go straight to the bench after a goal?

Because they've probably spent the previous 2 mins trying to find a break in play to run off so that they keep to their set rotations.

It's not ideal to have a player trying to make an interchange whilst the team is makig a F50 entry and as a result no one is there to kick it to (or there is one less to kick it to, or crumb).

Bruce getting a heap of it across half back. 9 disposals already.

Goal to Pearce

PA 3.1.19

Melb 2.5.17

Pearce goals, they're in front

Port 3.1.19

Melbourne 2.5.17

Ports forward line is providing no major problems for us, problem is ours isnt functioning that well either. This game is going end to end with no forward making an impact.

Port just kicked a goal, twas Pierce. Lets hope this doesnt ignite them. 3mins left in the first, port 19 melb 17

Lack of communication costly there on the wing, resulting in that goal to Pearce.

13 touches to Cam Bruce. If he's signed with GC it's a big loss

They're using the wind to kick over the top, rather than to a lead up forward. But we're turning it over a lot which is giving them pretty easy inside 50s.
