SCORE GOAL - Power (Jared Polec)
10:40
GOAL POWER - A monster 70m clearance from Watson comes back with rapid fire as Polec gathers on the fly from the 50m arc and cracks home a brilliant drop punt. Blues gone? Port by 20..
12:53
SCORE GOAL - Power (Robbie Gray)
12:55
GOAL POWER - And that should be about it as Walker gets into the back of Gray and gives away the free kick at the top of the goal square. Gray chalks up his fourth and sends the Power 26 clear..
15:43
SCORE BEHIND - Power (John Butcher)
15:55
BEHIND POWER - Port well and truly with this game in their keeping as Henderson is dragged down by Butcher 45m out from home. Only a shocking set shot release saves the Blues; it's wide right.
16:26
SCORE BEHIND - Power (Rushed)
16:30
BEHIND POWER - A long bomb forward looking for Monfries is punched through as Walker takes no chances with a heavy-fisted effort. Blues need something in this final term for their fans..
18:55
GOAL POWER - It's now an absolute rout as Watson shows no awareness in trying to run the ball out of defence and is run down by Westhoff. From 35m out in front, Westhoff chalks up his fifth.
18:57
SCORE GOAL - Power (Justin Westhoff)
20:19
SCORE GOAL - Blues (Jeff Garlett)
20:20
GOAL BLUES - It's hard work getting it forward as Simpson works it to the goal-square where Waite taps it on to Garlet who juggles it before chipping it through from point blank range. Port by 28.
21:41
SCORE BEHIND - Blues (David Ellard)
21:50
BEHIND BLUES - Whilst not impossible, the Carlton comeback needed this one to go through as Ellard gathers at the back of a pack and chips goalwards from 45m to the left side; across the face.
24:10
Ill-discipline does nothing for Carlton's cause as Walker elects to throw Monfries into the fence after the mark was taken outside the Blues 50m arc. He apologies straight away but it doesn't matter.
26:50
With a little over three minutes to go, this one has been wrapped up by the Power as the Blues at least look for some respectability on the scoreboard. It's hard going however with Port up by 27.
28:20
So the question that will come out of this encounter is whether Carlton possess the legs to go with their opponents for the rest of the year? Port have ben great but Carlton have their worries..
29:55
GOAL POWER - And there's the icing on the cake as Butcher remains planted to the turf as the long ball comes before he half-volleys it off the ground. With one second remaining, she's all done..
29:56
SCORE GOAL - Power (John Butcher)
30:48
The siren has sounded to end Q4.
30:50
Full Time and it's Port Adelaide who start 2014 with a bang, outlasting and outrunning a Blues outfit which looked the goods early but faded badly late; the Power with a respectable 33 point victory.
