not just win... we need to lobby the AFL (or is that nobble the AFL) so that we are seen as the power club to replace Carlton. From the time of Dick Pratt and the "Saturday Takeover Cub" mentioned more than once by the NCSC (the predecessor to ASIC) Carlton have had the reputation of being a club for the money movers. Time to convince the AFL that those days are over. BTW I had forgotten that Fitzpatrick's fund Hastings were one of those that took a loss on Docklands. Caro mentioned it today on 3AW.

I suppose the term "winning ugly" could be used but it was not that ugly. A great across the team effort. Last quarter was probably Casey's best whereas the game could easily have been finished by Port in the first quarter. 1 goal 8 that could so easily have been 7goals 2 or the like. Garlett... okay and better towards the back half of the game... did he do enough... maybe ... would be interested in his tackle count.(As an aside he does have positioning sense. Stood deep in the forward pocet when the ball was being kicked from the 70 metre mark on the other pocket. Pack fly about twenty metres out from the goal mouth.. Garlett's opponent moves towards the pack... he stays still quick skewed kick out of the pack.. Garlett marks ... handball over the top and Balic strolls in for an easy goal. Right spot.. right time.. guess that is what makes Jeffy special.) Bugg... as a forward maybe shaded Garlett. Good mark and goal to get Casey within a few points when Port were on top in the third quarter. Kept a close eye on Balic and Baker. Balic.... building ... decent game and could be a prospect. Not as good as his opening game against Coburg. Baker... very good .. needs to back himself a little more. Quick to give off by hand or the short kick not necessarily to a team mate in a better position. Had a relatively easy shot for goal in the pressure part of the final quarter and missed badly. Keep improving and perhaps next year. Saw glimpses of Petty.. developing nicely perhaps a shade behind Baker. Kielty had a strong game. Port were excellent opposition and while unaligned are a strong unit. Very nice Burra burger and the local supporters are more one eyed than the Dolphin fans of last week... (think many of them like a drink.)

Siren.... Casey win by 15

Balic goal came from a good mark by garlett and handball

Dees winding down the clock

24 minutes gone. Dees by 17

13 minute mark.... Casey by 10 points Long way to go

Goal to bugging great team play

Port within 4 points

Needs to have more confidence in his disposal but signs are good. Great last 10 minutes by Casey. Not much wind but Casey kicking to the scoring end for the last quarter

That was a great mark

Port supporters behind the goals are into Frost and he is. reacting. Silly fellow

Now by 14

Port in front

He's here. Doing okay but nothing fantastic

Goal and another miss for Port. Half time 12 points Casey's way

You're right and this is why we should use every tactic we can to move past Carlton while they're down. Chances like this do not come along often.

nah... Buckley said he's just a little clumsy... no malice... by the end of the day it'll be the other fellows fault !!

Fascinating to see the Pie's publicity machine at work in relation to the Mason Cox bump.

you'll get one because red and blue are Port's colours... we even share the same US theme song

A Saints, Lions, Blues, Bombers quadrella would be a great day to start the weekend

I assume he will be in NT with Pedersen. Not sure if Tyson and Hunt will be at Port either. Perhaps Drunk'n or KC can help us out.

you could be right.. I was thinking of him in the Bernie Vince role but I see Billy is 180cm compared to 186cm for Bernie. Not much difference really (2.3 inches) but maybe enough to make it a difficult proposition.

Pies in that third quarter were rebounding so easily out of Dogs fifty. Shows the importance of forward defensive pressure. Pendlebury, Sidebottom and to a lesser extent Treloar and DeGoey are their main movers. Neither team has good forward structure. If we bring our game we should have these two teams comfortably.

No we are undergoing an immersive and interactive experience !! BTW you do know that most of the club songs are rip offs of US military songs. At least Fitzroy/Brisbane have the French National anthem !!
