Went and watched the match live and every Carlton supporter around us even with a 50 odd point lead knew we were not safe even vs a undermanned Port.
I felt our key forwards were the difference but it was a poor brand we played after half time. Didn't feel we exploited the Port lack of ruck experience and we had several players who were liabilities.
Setterfield is a poor decision maker and average disposer of the football and how he remains in the team baffles me.
Parks is a VFL player and panic merchant when under pressure. Sure he gives effort but has little composure imho.
Young did some ok things and was handy.
Cottrell was good and got better as the game went on and while no star is a reliable player in terms of contesting and taking the safe option.
Happy to take the 4 points but it's not a win you could take comfort from apart from known quantities like Walsh, Hewett, Saad, Silvagni etc.
