After the loss to Williamstown in the ones, I thought I'd get along and take a look at who put their hand up in the twos for Port.
Good pressure game that was played in almost constant drizzle. The game was pretty even throughout, but I felt that the Bullants were likely to break the game open and kick away. It wasn't until a couple of late goals in time on that the Borough looked like grabbing the four points.
Dwyer and in particular Waldron had an absolute heap of the footy. 2 of Carrolls goals were late in the last term when the game was there to be won.. He ran forward to a dangerours position on both occasions to register majors.
I also thought Becker in the ruck worked hard. Nick Thomas played (what I think was) his first game back from injury, and looked like he badly needed the run.
