Great result .
I am selfish I wanted us to win by more.
Hoping for good news on Carroll.
9 4 first half 4 10 2nd half
Complete domination for the first 15 minutes of the 3rd but failed to hit scoreboard
Cripps has 6 brownlow votes the last 2 weeks can't believe people suggesting we trade him for picks but will face that Irish lads next Friday
Some poor decisions made by some of the younger players but to be expected
Harry has been brilliant the last 2 weeks. Those defensive marks is something we have lacked
We are a better side with Hewett in.
Pitto still gives to many ruck frees away.
Cowan starts games like a man possessed but fades badly
Wilson did some good things
Frank had a really great first half
Isons game could have been off the charts if he converted
Jagga regaining form
Watching Gov gut run forward was something I didn't think I would ever see
Florent is growing in stature
Hayward and Ainsworth starting to show something .
Can't believe I am saying this but Moir might have been a better selection than Flyn Young.
I think Weiters comes straight back in for Derkson
Dean is a very angry young man had a good game.
Love winning because losing sucks

Actually disappointed we didn’t finish our work and win by 70+.

Imagine saying that two games ago!

Pros:

Nice to finally win at Adelaide Oval against one of the home teams.
Ball movement, forward entries and accuracy in the first half.
Jagga's best game.
Hewett's best game for the year.
Best ball use I've seen from Walsh in a while.
Cripps, Dean, Evans, Florent, Heywood, Cowan, Wilson, Harry.
Derksen looked far more comfortable.
Ison exciting again.
Also like how we 'flew the flag' in defence of teammates.

Cons:

Inaccuracy in the second half.
Carlton players being shoved out of marking contests and not receiving frees.
Carroll's injury.
Need more from Cerra.
Liked Young's effort, but didn't have much impact.

Great player but my gosh Port are over reliant on JHF. Gets even worse for them if Butters goes.

Ison Cowan Wilson were the shining lights for me, especially the first halves. Apart from that dropped mark, Cowan was an absolute gun last night after a bit of a meh season so far.

Small summary of some interesting 2026 stats;

2026 handball average 159, this game 182
2026 average clearances 33, this game 27 and stoppage clearances 21 to 16 (also lost both to Port - interesting as Cripps dominated)
2026 contested possessions 132, this game 114 and uncontested 230 to 271.
2026 inside 50 efficiency 51%, this game 64%

Seems the game change is occurring and the boys are doing well with the changes.

Yep another sugar hit
I have said if you can read that I want to see kids play over hacks
If it was me I would play Derkson over Weitering because Weitering kicks it backwards
I want to see Flynn Young Wilson Ison
The future is bright
I posted that so do your research you idiot
Wright has got rid of Voss and Austin
He will have to make big calls on Weitering and Cripps at the end of the year
Will this woke corporate pack of idiots that sit in that board room interfere
You are a narrow minded person judging by your posts
If you arnt stupid go through the draft and salary cap concessions Tassie get in
2027 and the next few years after that and share it with us
Cripps and Weitering are not the future regardless on what happened last night
Have to plan for the future despite the sugar hit last night
If they want Walker which they do they will probably give up 2 high draft picks
See it’s about the future
It ain’t 1987 anymore
So take the blinkers off

And that centering kick which led to a Port goal.


Very solid game, though.

What do you do with Weitering and Cripps
Do you trade them at the end of the year?
Or do you not have an opinion

Author:  Hornet [ Sun May 24, 2026 10:45 am ]
Post subject:  Re: R11: Port Adelaide v Carlton (Post-match discussion)

The only reason you'd trade Weitering and Cripps is if they're not invested... or if we plan to bottom out, again.

How we finish off this season will determine what direction we take.

No need for personal abuse.

Same ol' stuff from you, on and on and on.

Incessant repeating does not make your OPINION any more relevant.

Give it a rest.

Continued change in game style with high possession high uncontested mark numbers. Over 100 marks in consecutive games.

Cleaner out of the centre with 3 goals from centre bounce and 6.3 from stoppage. 47 points scored from turnover (48 for Port) although Carlton kicked 6.11 from this mode.

Jagga's clean hands really important. 52% CBA and high score involvements. Chained possession well with Cripps/Walsh/Hewett.

First game this season Cerra has not attended one centre bounce. Seemed to work quite well without him in there. Hewett 68% attendance.

Excellent run out of defence from Florent, Wilson and Newman. Haynes and Dean very good.

Terrific that Ison, Young and Byrne got in excellent scoring positions. The setup from Ison to Byrne for Byrne's goal was great; could easily have had the shot himself. The butchery was deeply frustrating. Hopefully they learn from that. Ison has kicked 2.5 and Byrne 2.4. Byrne's involvement in marking contests was interesting. I reckon Lai outmarked him about 4 or 5 times in one on one marking contests. Byrne first year Lai second year.
