I tried to complete a sports media degree but I found the classes to be too boring. Aussie Rules is the great game, but I'll gladly watch just about any sport.

Three QTR Time
Port Adelaide win the ball in the centre and go inside 50 where Aaron Young takes a contentious mark close to the ground. Justice is done, however, considering he was robbed of a clear mark earlier in the quarter. At any rate, he hangs his set shot from 40m out to the right with 10 seconds left in the quarter. Fremantle bring the ball back in and the siren sounds for three quarter time.

Robbie Gray and Travis Boak have had only 6 possessions a piece to this point. How they perform in the second half will arguably decide the outcome of this game.

Although, the quality has been a little low at times, this has been a very intriguing game so far. Fremantle have been dominant in the middle of the ground, but have been badly exposed on the counter-attack on a number of occasions. They have also missed a number of crucial shots at goal and as such are only ahead by one goal. Port has to lift its intensity at the contest in the second half if they are to have any chance of winning. For Fremantle, not much needs to change. If they can kick straighter and be a little cleaner going inside 50, whilst maintaining their intensity around the ground, they will win this game.
