AFL Rd 18 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[LoveNavy]

Incidentally, i saw Kan Cornes after the game and had to resist the urge to belt him and point out how wrong he is.....about well....everything. Even after the big loss he had that smug look on his face.

Personally i thought Aliir Aliir beat Charlie when it mattered. Charlie got a few goals late when the result was beyond doubt, but early on Charlie was outmarked and outpositioned pretty easily. Shows you can beat Charlie in a contest, in a quarter, but not for a whole match.

I listened to the game on the radio. Cornes provided "expert" commentary. He sounded like he was coaching Port earlier on. Then he started with the CFC compliments. Yep, fair dinkum. Admittedly a lot were directed towards Motlop, and rightly so. I was amazed to hear how positive he was, and didn't hear much umpire bashing. So credit where credit's due.

It sounded like Charlie made up for missed goals with goal assists. Especially with H out early. Our smalls surprisingly picked up the slack, and Jack had a blinder.

Such a great feeling to win against a top side. Our best this year IMO. Well done.
