I'll be short and to the point...
We played well, but not well enough.

Thank you for your succinct report.
Who played well? Badly?
Some posts on a thread on the main board seemed to suggest that Eagleton did well again.

I was also quite impressed with Boyd. He really threw himself into it, especially early in the game.

Are there any skills coaches down at the Whitten Oval? The number of skill errors, particularly in the last quarter was embarrassing.
Heard him on radio last week saying that he still harbours senior coaching aspirations. Was an excellent player, has had vast coaches box experience - surprised nobody's gone for him yet.Originally posted by Chops

I was very impressed with Boyd, he has great 2nd and 3rd efforts and never stops chasing. Wont be suprised if he is on the senior list next year, a very promising player who made the most of his ground time. Kicked a nice goal to.
Its a bit of a running "joke" McAlmanac. Our Chocco was our skils coach during the 97,98 and there have been a number of calls to get him back.(Because he is only one that improve our skills)Originally posted by McAlmanac

[off topic] Ray Huppatz (yes, #7 for Footscray) was my first footy guernsey - number 14 for Woodville (SANFL) circa 1969. 3 B&F's for our club then went to Footscray in 1974. Played State footy for SA and Victoria. In fact the three guys mentioned in my sig formed our first ruck in that year and all went on to play for Victoria and in VFL grand finals.

Sorry to get off the topic McAlmanac, Ray Huppatz (#7???) was great little player for us in the late 70s. Teaming with Dempsey a great combination and followed him to North.
From a Port supporter's (who went to the game) view I'd say you were in right till half-time. Port had the measure after the break, but peppered the goals missing easy shots in the third and fourth quarters (4.6 in the 3rd, 4.4 in the 4th compared to an accurate 3.2 and 3.2 from the bulldogs respectively). 33 scoring shots to 23 is a more accurate reflection of the game then the 15 point margin.Originally posted by Bulldog1954
Robbo was good when he got the ball, but he should have been tighter on Pickett.
We lost simply because of errors in the last quarter. Smurf and Harris gifted them goals. Robbo gave away a stupid down the field free kick. Garlick dropped an easy mark. We gave them the game in the last quarter. However we played well for most of the game and were far more accountable and hard then of late

That said Bulldogs are certainly not the worst team Port have played this year and certainly don't deserve the spoon on how they've played against the top sides.
