The Demons are on the board for 2024 with a win over the Western Bulldogs. Later, Port Adelaide hosts West Coast and Fremantle takes on the winless Lions.Two goals in the last two minutes take what was a good Port Adelaide quarter and turns it into a great one. They're out to a healthy lead now, one that they will feel represents the dominance they've built in this game.
Under two minutes to play in the quarter, Eagles will be chuffed to have pulled this back a little bit.It's tough in the clinches, and Elliot Yeo and Jason Horne-Francis have been getting up close and personal all quarter. Great to watch the former looking fit and the latter looking that little bit better again than last year.Still such an important player for the Eagles, Jamie Cripps.
Port Adelaide are getting on top now, winning around the contests and spreading harder than West Coast. They just needed that beautiful goal from 50 to get some reward. 13:16 to play in the second.The Eagles simply can't get the ball out of defence here. The dump kicks down the line are just coming straight back. Port need to take advantage.This bloke is catching everything! Barrass is all over him, but he is getting two big mitts to everything and they are clunking in there.
Oliver finished with 35 disposals, six clearances and 565 metres-gained and received a huge ovation, which he later described as "emotional", when he came off near fulltime. Marcus Bontempelli was arguably the Bulldogs' best early while Tom Liberatore and Adam Treloar were typically prolific.The Demons nudged out to a 19-point lead early in the second term but Cody Weightman goaled just before half-time to keep the Bulldogs within 12 points.
Port Adelaide look to have the class out there, and probably should be further ahead, but they are being matched for effort and intensity by the Eagles.He is dominating Tom Barrass right now, and he is no slouch as a full-back.
