Most overrated player in the comp. They love the small, quick front running forwards down at the Bombers.

Wow! I thought Essendon were supposed to be a good team.
Dismantled on their home deck by 9th-placed Port
What a bunch of imposters!

Free Kicks: Essendon 21, Port Adelaide 15
The Cheats are no good without the umpires gifting them twice as many free kicks as their opponents

A beach ball on the field!
The reality is that Essendon’s form recently hasn’t been that great but they’ve got over some sides with bigger problems.
They’ll no doubt cop a pasting this week in the media and come out firing against us next week.

Can't believe we gave up a game to such a s**t team. Everything that could have went wrong has gone wrong today. Wasn't through lack of effort.
Oh well, we were due for it. Gotta just re-group and go hard next week.

Port are a confusing group. Well won though.

Insipid from Essendon to let that descend into a 10-goal loss, given their recent form.
Nice performance on the road from a Power side on the ropes. Could have been even heavier if Rozee kicked 5.2 rather than 2.5.

Interesting that Essendon's best player on the day was a mid-season draftee who spent the past three years on the Power's list, too.
I personally thought we were gonna lose to Adelaide at AO and then beat Port at Marvel after the Suns, so this evens it out for me anyway.
Well done Port. Way too good today.
A side that looked like they had plenty to prove and great set shot kicking for goal. Coach saver!
We never looked likely. Potentially last few weeks caught up with us with a few players missing but no excuses for losing by that margin in the end.
We will be written off now (probably fair enough after today) but I think, with some quality due back next week, we can beat the Bulldogs in a tough game to certify a finals place. Port? Well... who knows really. As good as today was I wouldn’t be too surprised if the Swans really challenge them at home next week.
