FINAL SCORE

Port Adelaide 20.17.137

Carlton 6.11.47

It threatened to be an ugly Friday night game and on that count it delivered. Port were never in danger after kicking the game's first four goals, and while the Blues lifted in the second term, Port piled on 12 goals to four after the break, with Robbie Gray starring with five goals.

Port continue their impressive start to the season moving to 3-2, although there is a concern with skipper Travis Boak, who left the ground early with hamstring tightness.

For the young Blues there was pain, but that happens when you play kids. There is likely to be debate about the merits of them getting Friday night games at this stage of their development though.

That's all from me for now, keep across Real Footy for all your AFL news and analysis.

Q4 PA 137 Carl 47

And another, as Robbie Gray adds his fifth, converting a nice set shot from 40m. He's had an outstanding night. 22 disposals and 5.4.

Q4 PA 131 Carl 47

Nice slap from Young to the advantage of Robbie Gray, who soccers one off the ground to grab his fourth of the night.

Q4 PA 125 Carl 47

Casboult recovers after fumbling to soccer one of the ground and kick his fourth of the night. Good effort that.

He's an impressive young player.

Q4 PA 125 Carl 41

Great pace from Impey creates an opening for Trengove, who kicks a career-best third goal. 5:00 to go.

Q4 PA 119 Carl 41

Silvagni misses badly. Good news for the Blues, they have at least bettered the score from their only previous game at this ground.

Q4 PA 119 Carl 40

100-gamer Jasper Pittard's set shot is sprayed badly.

Q4 PA 118 Carl 40

Young goals from 35m. 10 minutes to go.

Q4 PA 112 Carl 40

Gibbs slots a tough set shot from the boundary 40m out after getting some less than friendly advice from locals.

Back to top

Q4 PA 112 Carl 34

Trengove unloads off a step from 45m and the margin extends to 78 points.

Q4 PA 106 Carl 34

Silvagni gets one out the back and the Blues finally have a second goalkicker!

Q4 PA 106 Carl 28

Westhoof sends one from 45m. A triple-digit margin is very much on the cards.

Q4 PA 100 Carl 28

Young Polson has barely been sighted. He gets a chance after a nice baulk from Silvagni, who dishes off a handball, only for the debutant to miss.

Q4 PA 1001 Carl 27

Hallelujah! Casboult slots a set shot to end Carlton's wait. He's kicked all three of their goals.

Three-quarter time

Port Adelaide 14.16.100

Carlton 2.9.21

The Blues had done well to stem the early bleeding but the pain intensified dramatically in the third term as Port dominated territorially, keeping Carlton scoreless and adding 6.10. It could have been much worse if the Power had kicked straight. The only worry for the hosts was the hamstring tightness felt by captain Travis Boak, whose game looks over after ice was applied.

Q3 PA 100 Carl 21

A fumble from Murphy opens the door for Johnson, who spins around snaps a ripper!

Q3 PA 94 Carl 21

Robbie Gray having an incredible quarter. If only he could convert, missing another one from 45m. Polec with a chance too, sending it across the face.
