AFL Rd 18 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Gointocarlton]

My plans to attend the game fell in a heap and I had to watch it from home with the fire roaring and two large shaggy dogs on the couch with me.  I enjoyed a couple of cans of CFC-branded beer before switching to Laphroig for the last quarter. ?

Apart from Harry’s injury, that was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve watched for some time.  We played the game on our terms, adjusted to cover the loss of Harry, and countered every Port challenge.  It also showed that tagging opposition guns is unnecessary, provided your team defence is sound and you punish the opposition on the rebound.

My plans to go also changed, I stumbled across a great slow cooker mulled wine recipe during the week so a couple of cups of that kept me company during the game.
