Good overall effort, apart from the third quarter, where Port took the foot off the pedal and North fought their way back into the game.
Lawrence was named BoG and has played some terrific footy in recent weeks finishing with 4 goals today. I thought Jeremey Clayton was excellent and again proved how good a footballer he is, playing on his old home ground was best on ground for mine.
Harding was on target this week, finishing with 5 goals.
I thought Ben Robbins was terrific around the centre.
Obst, Urch and Schwarze were excellent in defence, and in the last quarter Hamish worked hard, leading out from FF he probided a real target.
Bruno got the job on nudie and did well, restricting him to two goals.
The side again responded well in the final quarter, and starting with a margin of just 8 points at 3/4 time, worked hard to win by about 8 goals.
