As Malthouse used to say in every post-loss press conference "we played a very very good side".
Port are an impressive team and club that will push for the flag this year. Having said that they had some key outs and were battered and bruised after their tough game last week. We had an opportunity to push them hard tonight and failed miserably. The stats sheet and scoreboard were kind to us but we were bad. Really bad.
If I can bring myself to watch the game again I'll comment on individual players but, as a team, our skill level, intensity and composure let us down again. Not sure where we're headed at the moment.

We can't seem to stay motivated for more than 2 games in a row. Been an issue all century.
Unless you want it badly enough it doesn't matter who is in on your list, you are always middle of the road.
Port play for premierships, Carlton play for paychecks. That's one of the big the differences.

Come to Carlton...we'll get rid of that pesty agro.
I fairdinkum love the intensity in Fogarty and Williams. Poor blokes. Come to us and see your estrogen levels sky rocket. Our culture has figuratively given all our players man boobs.

Our best performance this year was round 1. Been downhill since.

Bruise free brand, players pull out of contests and won't tackle or chase.
Dimma, Clarkson wouldn't tolerate it...

That’s what Carlton have done for the last 25 years, suck you into believing this year is going to be the year and then by round 3 you know it’s still not
Sucks to be 31 years old and a Carlton supporter ?

Too depressing ... think I'll read it all in the morning. Yet again, sounds like the same players need a kick in the ar$e. Sounds like stocker needs a go and long overdue.

Massive reality check, we’re miles off
Too many vfl types to consistently compete against top 4 sides - when the heat is on Newnes, Kennedy et al
Jones’ decision making under pressure isn’t good enough and he keeps losing his feet. McGovern looks more comfortable in defence
We don’t spread well enough
Our structure behind the ball is schoolboy level
We don’t move the ball quick enough (we don’t kick it hard enough)
Our kicking accuracy is poor
We have very few players who can break the lines. I can only think of Saad, Walsh, maybe Docherty.
Hoping like hell that Williams isn’t a bust as a midfielder
Cripps needs to kick goals when he’s 30m out and his field kicking needs to improve
There’s more but that will do for now
