Preston absolutely killed Port around the ground. Not sure who was on Betts for the majority of the game, but he carved Port up, and kicked some very nice goals amongst his six.
O'Hailpin looks to be improving all the time, and he outplayed the Port defenders. Delivery into the Bullants forward line was good, as was their accuracy. 28.8 is a fantastic effort.
For Port, Cotchett has been good all year, and was one of the lone hands today. The Borough will be desperate to get their experienced backmen Chris Obst back into the side.
McKernan's form was poor, and aside from some good ruckwork during the 3rd term he didn't have much influence on the game.
