The Bloods got off to a slow start, trailing by 14 points at quarter time, but battled back in the second to go into the major break 5.11 (41) to the Magpies’ 7.3 (45).
Good performances by forward Hugh Porter, who kicked two goals, and midfielders Brodhi Carracher, Jarryd Hay and Xavier Vickers kept Terang Mortlake in touch for most of the game.
However, the Bloods’ offence dried up in the final period, kicking only 1.1 to 3.2 in the last quarter to finish 9.14 (68) to Camperdown 14.8 (92).
This week the side hosts Port Fairy, who suffered a massive 200-point loss to North Warrnambool last Saturday, and the Bloods will no doubt be looking forward to taking advantage of the Seagulls’ fragility.
