Frogshit, remember a few years ago when we went to the ANZAC game? No other teams supporters would have that passion, the bloody concrete shook after the last post. (Finding that pub near the cass open at 9am didn't hinder though)

Hartlett reportedly a late out, apparently to be replaced by Aidyn Johnson to make his debut.

Sad to see such an inept Carlton tonight. Sure they have a world record of teenagers in the side, but...

It's ok for you and the Hawks to claim Easter Monday and that was garbage to watch and probably will be for the next 5 years[emoji3]

As I said you deserve it mate, my comment was purely from a fans point that would prefer a blockbuster, no offence intended. I've been to an Anzac Day match at the G and it's an awesome event.

How SHIT is this game?
Just Garbage footy by both teams.
Port have just been dumb as ****
Dixon is a useless SPUD
Port will NOT be a finals threat if they have to rely on him to kick goals.

I was just going to say this is terrible to watch, there's so many mistakes and turnovers. Port started on fire and I thought this is going to be an early blowout but Port have now been dragged down to Carlton's level in this second quarter.

Not sure about being dragged down to their standard. Port have too many players just not up to standard themselves. Poor decision making, slipping over, clumsy tackles, poor disposals. You name it, theyve done it.
Also when you flood your backline with 18 players, you have to have a Plan B to get the ball back down the other end. So many times you see players get the ball, look up and then have to go sideways or backwards or just give the ball off to a team mate under pressure simply because there is no one up field to kick the ball to. I HATE all the rule changes they make but if they could implement a rule to ensure that a team cant have 18 players in one half of the ground, i would be all for it.

Hmm think your a bit hard on Dixon. I actually thought he was actually moving ok and holding a few marks. Probably one of his better galves of footy so far this season.

But you are right about the game. Just another awful friday night fixture.

Horrible spectacle this.

Carlton don't want to engage in a shootout, and fair enough, the result would be reminiscent of R2 against Freo.

Port are just incredibly 2015-16 with ball in hand. I just wish some of our supposed better ball users would lower the eyes once in a while.

Would take a 15 goal to 7 win and get the heck up to Brisbane.

It's the same 3 that make poor decisions every single time S. Grey, Amon and Young. Terrible game thus far apart from the first 10mins.

Blaming Dixon is a joke. He is working his ass off but bombing on his head simply isn't going to work, put it out in front of him and let him lead up.

Don't like Ryder palming backwards all the time either.

Should be at least 50+ in front right now.
