Round 3: Port v Eagles - Saturday 14 April @ Alberton Oval

Port v Eagles
Saturday 14 April
Alberton Oval

Reserves: 11:30am
League: 2:10pm

Both teams come into this game undefeated. Who will remain undefeated after 3 rounds?

I reckon the eagles will win this by 9 points. Port looked a bit top heavy against the Bays and I think the eagles have the pace to upset them.

Who will go up into the AFL side to replace the player given a week off for whatever he did .

From memory the Eagles have been pretty successful against Port over recent years (and even further back). Probably need to see the lineups first but leaning toward WWT at this stage.

Funny haven't seen much on here from Port fans
Will SPP Play sanfl or does his suspension cover the sanfl.
Looking at footage of SPP outside the venue didn't look good for SPP .

Would have to cover the SANFL as well or it is a pointless suspension.

I was there wtf happened
Port weren't great but they have a system and much fitter .
Eagles couldn't buy a goal until the last term

I really think it was a bizarre game

WA 0-3...1-5...1-8...2-14....V NA ROUND 2
EG 0-1...0-5...0-10..2-16....v PA ROUND 3

Some similarities in the scorelines
However
EG drew a game with 2-16
WA lost a game by 138 points with 2-14

Some more irrelevancy
Today PA scored 1 point in each quarter
2-1
2-2
2-3
4-4

One thing you've missed the lowest draw score in the sanfl for 99 years

It was one of those games as a spectator where you may as well not turn up until three quarter time.  That near gale force cross wind certainly did not help the game as a spectacle.  Something worth noting is that Port had 93 more possessions, but 15 less inside 50s (and just 8 scoring shots).

Basically we could not get the ball out of the dead pockets.  Almost all of the shots were from these pockets, which invariably ended up out of bounds, failed to make the distance, or through for a near side behind.  I was pleased with the continual effort right to the end, firstly to get those two goals from a 14 point deficit, then to prevent Port from getting the match winning score.  Especially given this was off a 6 day break in 30 degree heat, compared to Port who played at night last Friday.

Great report spelly
Port were the fitter side
Port were running off with the ball
As a footy friend told me Gods told the players at 1/4 time man up
Highlight at some stage Haylock picked up Sumnerton good night Port he went from free ball receiver to being well held

Just for the fans of other clubs an AFL team couldn't beat a SANFL side who couldn't goal for 3 quarters .
