Honestly reckon Port are a chance here. Clean up their goal kicking with better forward entries and I think they can beat the doggies.

Don't want them too but I'm with you. Doggies very lucky to be that margin ahead. And for an important game, it's a yawnfest right now.

Bulldogs .... Trealor, Dunkley, Libba, JJ (other than that goal) not doing much 

Port ... Gray, Boak, Wines (by his standards), Dixon also quiet

Boaks had 21 disposal this first half..

Doggies still look sluggish to me. Their forward line is a mess without Bruce.

I was just thinking that. Neither of these teams look as though they could roll us. 

Port with a single goal in a half.

Pretenders or what?

Tom Browne, typically uninsightful

Different type of game for dogs, didn’t think they could win in a low scoring contest 

Wow, fumbles from many of the players. The B+ players are making lots of errors. Cannot find space or execute under perceived pressure. 

Alir Alir is playing well as is Daniel's and Easternwood, Bont is in and out of the game, expect more in the third from him. Treloar clean footy. Dogs backline holding well. English and Naughton well off. Gray to impact in the third.

Port missing gettable goals is giving the game to the dogs, they seem to fall apart under pressure.

A pathetic spectacle of footy this game is. Niether side looks to be top 4 but I still think port can be more dangerous. Fix their kicking and if that happens in 2nd half beware. In Adelaide they would be kicking staighter. Bulldogs handball too much and they really do not have a forward line.

Adam Cerra was on his way to Richmond mid year, before the Carlton slide, last 6 weeks or go that dynamic change from staying at Freo or going to Carlton.

So from around that time his player manager must have gotten a sniff that Ross was the next boss of the blues.

But apparently Cerra is not keen on Lyon.

Spot the handball

Almost choked on my chicken drumstick when Jon Ralph said "Cerra very likely on his way to Melbourne", then realised he means the town

That was pure staging by the port player in that sling tackle

Nice goal there from J.Somerville 😂

Naughton may go for that , dangerous tackle well after umpire blew whistle

Naughton reported for dangerous tackle  - 3AW saying "that end of the season should get off".  Would ANB get the same latitude?

Bulldogs looking good to only kick 5 goals 2 weeks in a row.

Port players head didn't even touch the ground I'm pretty sure

Tell me the AFL aren’t pushing to get Port a home final.

Maggots ignoring the 8 meter passes this week .... ar at least tonight.

Dogs gone to sleep, or Port improved?  A bit hard to tell which.

Now who dee we want to win?

Dogs with one goal since 10 mins into the first Q
