Good signs so far. I hope we keep up the effort and don't get blown away in the 2nd quarter.

Thanks for the updates - couldn't get to the game and there's no coverage so your updates are fantastic, particularly as we seem to be going well.

Has Witts done much?

^ Thanks david975. Couldn't get there myself, either, and yeah, no LiveChat is a pain. But let's struggle on, eh?

Haven't seen the big fella's name mentioned so far, but will let you all know when he kicks a goal.

Hahn goals.

Pies lead 42-29.

What's Port Melbourne's winning streak?

Thanks for the updates MagpieBat. Looks like a good game at the moment.

BREAKING NEWS: Angus Graham has been reported while playing for Coburg for "kicking (somenone)".

And if you saw a pun in there somewhere, just assume that I didn't intend it.

Back to our game, apparently the Yank is "holding up well in defence".

Jezza, Port are at 28 straight, and gunning for 29.

Right now, though, the Pies are holding steady.

42 leads 37 at the 19 min mark at VP...

Lucas: "Super forward pressure from the Pies gives Ricky Ferraro a goal. Fist pump in the air. The crowd are on their feet."

48 leads 37.

Apparently he hurt his ankle.

That's all I've heard as well.

^ Don't have anything on that, yet, Witty.

Will monitor and report.

Sh*t, that's a big blow for the forward line, just when we are getting on top. Hope the kid is okay...
