The Mighty Port Adelaide Football Club
Round 13
V
Kangaroos
14.11 (95)
Port Adelaide
10.13 (73)

In the words of Homer Simpson - DOH!  3 on the trot and what's even worse is that the teams effort in the last quarter showed that we could really stick it to them but it was just too late guys.  I know they were absolutely desperate for a win but it gives you that sinking feeling now we've lost a few in a row.

As for the game, I thought it was pretty lacklustre from Port's side with only Che-Cockatoo Collins really standing out.  Everyone else was pretty mediocre.  Bit of a worry seeing players pull up really sore after a couple of contests and what was even worse was seeing your own players run in to each other or mark over each other (You know who you are!).

The Roos had the height and it's quite obvious that opposing teams have worked out our game plan from the first half of the season.  Let's hope we get back on the winning streak.

Highlight:
1) Che's standout performance. Kane Cornes coming on for the first time and booting a goal (then he got benched straight after??)

Lowlight:
1) No back up for Che.
