PORT Melbourne’s Sam Dwyer went from villain to pin-up boy in his role in the Borough’s great fightback over Geelong at TEAC Oval on Saturday.
Port won by two goals after trailing by 21 points at three-quarter-time.
Dwyer kicked along the ground from 10 metres and missed halfway through the last term as Port was barnstorming home.
Five minutes later John Baird lofted a magnificent pass into centre-half forward and through a screen of players the small Dwyer plucked an overhead grab, went back and converted a more difficult opportunity to level the game.
At the death of the third term the margin was a daunting 27 points when James Podsiadly, who is in his first season as captain of the Cats, slotted the last of his five goals for the match.
