Carlton kick their way into the top four after a dominant last quarter kicking eight of the last 11 goals against Port Adelaide .

It was a rollercoast for SuperCoaches, here are three big takeaways from Thursday night.

TDK GETS BETTER

Coaches would have been stoked with Tom De Koning last weekend with his season high 131 points for Carlton but he went better on Thursday night against Port Adelaide. TDK was the third highest scorer at quarter-time, the only break he wasn’t sitting on top as he piled on the hitouts finishing with 28, 12 kicks, six handballs and six tackles. He finished 57 points higher than his breakeven which will have coaches licking their lips as they head into the bye.

SKIPPER STANDS UP

When the game was in the balance at three-quarter time, someone needed to stand up from either side, insert Carlton’s skipper Patrick Cripps. Cripps kicked the opening two goals in the fourth quarter, but to go with that he scored a massive 51 points for SuperCoaches to finish on 103 points.. He might not have been in the top five possession getters on the ground but finished with 22 disposals, 11 kicks and 11 handballs with six tackles. He fell just 12 points shy of his breakeven score of 115

PORT NEED GEORGIADES

Port Adelaide’s two power forward Charlie Dixon and Todd Marshall were nowhere to be seen in at least the first three-quarters. Dixon was subbed out midway through the third quarter after just one possession (a handball) and 10 SuperCoach points while Marshall finished with six disposals and a goal and 27 SuperCoach points but for 1.1 per cent of SuperCoaches, they will be sitting back cheering after Mitch Georgiades four goal game kicked him to 101 SuperCoach points and the leading goal kicker on Thursday night, keeping the Power in the game for the first three quarters.

Recap all major talking points below.

Players and fans will see a new stricter interpretation of holding the ball in action for the first time on Thursday night.

The AFL told clubs that umpires have been instructed to reduce the amount of “reasonable time” players have to dispose of the ball when tackled.

That is set to result in a hotter whistle and more holding the ball free kicks, starting tonight.

It could be a welcome move for Power midfielder Willem Drew, who is in the top 10 for tackles in the AFL with 69 for the season. Patrick Cripps leads Carlton in that stat with 60 tackles for the season.

8:15PM: NERVOUS WAIT FOR IVAN SOLDO COACHES

A head high bump on Carlton’s Mitch McGovern will have Ivan Soldo coaches wondering whether or not they will be needing to make a trade next week.

8:04PM: QUARTER-TIME SUPERCOACH LEADERS

Surprising youngest Jase Burgoyne sits atop the list of SuperCoach points at quarter time, sitting just shy of half way of his 108 points from the round 11 win over North Melbourne.

While Carlton defender Brodie Kemp leads the way for the Blues with 40 points while you won’t see Port’s power forwards on the list (Charlie Dixon and Todd Marshall) who have both had one possession each.

Carlton coach Michael Voss has taken an alternative approach to the new ‘holding the ball’ rule that has plagued the AFL over the past few weeks.

Jeremy Finlayson is the sub for the Power and Jack Carroll for the Blues.
