An abysmal performance by Melbourne has allowed young Greek Australian Mitch Georgiades to shine for Port Adelaide as they defeat the Victorian club 12.11 (83) to 4.8 (32).
The Greek young gun kicked the opening goal of the match, with teammate Justin Westhoff following a few minutes later in a promising start.
Port Adelaide continued the match in stunning form, with Melbourne’s attack left in shambles and unable to create any organised movement. The Demons hit the change rooms trailing 1.3 (9) to 6.6 (42) at half time.
Second half wasn’t much better for the boys in blue and red, as The Power continued to dominate both defensively and in their deadly attack.
A free kick allowed Adelaide’s Ollie Wines to secure the opening goal of the third quarter, yet the Demons managed to pull in a late effort with two goals in the final 90 seconds.
