Comments

A confident Port Adelaide outfit continue on their merry way this time destroying West by 77 points.  The match was a hard and tough affair with Darren Smith (Port) and Sam Jones (West) clashing twice causing an all in scuffle at the end of the 2nd term. There are no reports as yet but their may be some players reported by video.  Port controlled the match all day but wasn't able to clearly break free until the final quarter where they kicked 7.8 to nothing.  Port are now brimming with confidence having won their last 5 matches by 60 points or more and go into next weeks Grand Final as favourites.

After the match comments:

  "It took us a long time to break them but
   it was good to run over them and get a
   bit of confidence for next week"
  "We were under the pump at quarter time
   but the guys really responded"
   Stephen Williams - Port coach

  "We totally lost it in the last quarter
   but we've come a long way this year and
   that was not an indication of what we've
   done this year"
  "We've got a lot to learn from that
   because if we don't we're not going to
   improve."
   Michael Taylor - West coach
