The Mighty Port Adelaide Football Club
Round 22
Port Adelaide Power V West Coast Eagles
Port Adelaide
24.19 (163)
West Coast
7.9 (51)

First and foremost, I would like to pay tribute to Fos Williams - a legend. His legacy will never be forgotten.

112 Points. Like they called it on 5AA - The Father's Day Massacre. This really was simply a demonstration game. We just took them apart and went to town. It just turned into set plays and drills.To be honest, in the middle of the last quarter, we were sitting there looking at our watches waiting for it to wind down.

Some really great performances from Wanganeen, Francou and Stevens. I was surprised that some commentators gave Kingsley some points over Josh. Pacco's loss is absolutely devastating for him, the poor bastard. It didn't even look like much when we saw it in front of us and it's just a shame that he has worked for this so hard and now is going to miss the finals. What a travesty of justice.

Not much else to say except it was good to see such a high rotation of players. Everyone got some touches and it really turned into a farce. Ken Judge must have been sitting in the coaches box in total dejection. I'm truly excited about Finals and our prospects and can't wait. Let's get it on!!!

Highlight:
1) Roger James' freakish checkside goal in the last quarter.

Lowlight:
1) Pacco doing his anterior cruciate. Rotten luck, old son.
