THE AFL's foundation clubs have been left battered and bruised after Carlton crashed to a painful Round 1 defeat last night, badly overrun by Port Adelaide.
The Blues followed Collingwood and Richmond in succumbing to one of the AFL's newest clubs, setting up a critical clash against the Tigers in a fortnight at the MCG.

MALTHOUSE: "DISMAL" LAST QUARTER
Just as Collingwood and Sydney will play at ANZ Stadium to try to avoid a 0-2 start, one of the cross-town archrivals in Richmond or Carlton will be winless after two rounds.
Mick Malthouse's Blues led by 24 points midway through the second term but gave up 13 of the last 17 goals in a 33-point defeat.

Carlton could take on the Tigers without key rebounder Andrew Walker, who was reported for a tackle on Angus Monfries and could face another charge for a late elbow on Justin Westhoff.
New recruits Dale Thomas and Andrejs Everitt kicked Carlton's first two goals, but the ex-Pie would finish with only 16 possessions and Everitt a dozen touches.
The Blues had no answer for the aerial dominance of Westhoff (5.0), Robbie Gray (4.1) or midfield wrecking ball Ollie Wines (28 touches, nine tackles).

It weakening what had seemed a formidable forward trio of Henderson, Jarrad Waite and Everitt early in the contest.
Yet the Blues still conceded a worrying 30 scoring shots from 47 inside 50s.

He will also face match review panel heat for the late hit to Justin Westhoff in the second term.
He hit Westhoff late and with an elbow to his head as he crashed into the Port Adelaide forward, with Roos legend Wayne Carey noting on radio: "He has hit him high and late. I would say he has a case to answer."
Pies premiership captain Tony Shaw agreed: "That's a forearm hit. He is trying to spoil but his arm is bent. It will be looked at."

That would put him on track to take on Essendon in Round 3 on April 6, with key midfielder Andrew Carrazzo (calf) on a similar time line.
President Stephen Kernahan said yesterday the club would do what it took to retain free agent Bryce Gibbs.
"I'm sure (Adelaide have) been knocking on his door for a number of years. He's a really required player at this football club and Adelaide would want to have a lot of money to get him away from us. I think we're in the best position to keep him,'' he told Channel Nine.
The Power have a week off before a Showdown against Adelaide that is also the official opening of the Adelaide Oval for both clubs.
