2017 Round 5 : Pre Game thread - Port Adelaide V Carlton

[Gointocarlton]

I agree Krud but you cant fill all holes in 1 or 2 drafts.

I'm very happy with who we have selected and if you compare the last 2 drafts with the previous 10 we should all be over the moon!

As everyone knows we need 2-3 more mids and a few big forwards wouldn't go astray.

I'm confident we will improve that area in this years draft period. 

Sydney won a lot of games before Buddy arrived without big scoring power. Won a few flags as well. Port are not a top side. We have enough spread to kick a big enough score against them IMO.

Agree with all that. When you look at the GC game, despite all that firepower (Lynch, Wright and the crumbers), we held them bar 5 awfull minutes of footy which allowed them to freewheel out of the middle and stroll into the fwd line (P.S. that advantage paid to Ablett was a shocker and that rule is bigger blight on the game than any other IMO). PA dont have that firepower hence our defence (which I am loving) can hold them if we stick to our structures. Our mids needs to work and concentrate for 120 minutes (not 115, not even 119).
