REACHING FOR THE SKY

ADELAIDE OVAL, JUNE 15, 2023 u Big bulls Mark Blicavs and Scott Lycett go head-to-head in a ruck contest during Thursday night football at Adelaide Oval last week. Geelong’s Blicavs just got the better of this contest, but it was

Lycett and Port Adelaide who took control after half-time to claim another win and top spot on the AFL ladder heading into their bye. The Power big man outpointed the Cat 35 hit-outs to 16 and did enough to limit Blicavs’ one-wood of his influence around the ground – he was held to just 13 disposals as the reigning premiers slipped a game outside the top eight with Melbourne lying in wait.
