Port Adelaide slogged, scrapped and battled for a solid 100 minutes for a 15-point win over improving West Adelaide at Richmond on Saturday and maintain its grip on fifth spot on the SANFL ladder.
The Magpies superior disposal skills in the mud, as well as having a lot more to play for, produced 3.6 in the final term, after they had kicked just three goals for the preceding three quarters.
Port Adelaide was genuinely challenged and held a vulnerable 11-point lead 10 minutes into the last quarter, but willed themselves break the strangle hold and take the vital points 6.10 (46) to 4.7 (31).
Both sides were held goalless in the driving rain of the first quarter, which reduced players’ skill level and generated into constant bottlenecks.
West Adelaide might have been gutsy but still needs to stop giving away possessions so repeatedly or they will continue to be the easy-beats.
