"Just settling in to watch the replay.
Happened to be on the same flight as the Port Adelaide players/coaches from Adelaide to Melbourne today. When we took off we were 4 goals up. Landed and it was only a few points late in the third.
Saw Connor Rozee check the scores of our match the minute the plane landed and he turned to Alir Alir and said 'Carlton choking as usual'.
So there it is - from the horses mouth what we're thought of amongst the playing ranks."
Yes, we did... but, even when headed, we rallied and showed grit to take the lead, build on it and hold it. The boys will learn much more from a win such as that than any 'brave' loss. They experienced what it takes, the endeavour and relentlessness required. Backing it up is imperative.
Also good to see O'Keefe sitting next to The TT in the coach's box.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
