Indestructible Port Adelaide blasted their way to the top of the ladder after ploughing their way out of yet another hole, which they then proceeded to bury Geelong in. And an injury for Patrick Dangerfield added to the Cats’ woes.
Indestructible Port Adelaide blasted their way to the top of the AFL ladder after ploughing their way out of yet another hole, which they then proceeded to bury Geelong in.
From that moment, Port could do no wrong, completely dominating the Cats in all facets and moving ahead of Collingwood into first place entering the bye.The deluge came seemingly out of nowhere considering how dominant the visitors were early, particularly on the outside where they were giving the Power a bath.
A couple of goals late in the half to mid-season draftee Quinton Narkle and Jeremy Finlayson gave the Power the momentum at the main interval and they capitalised grandly. The Cats conjured three goals either side of three-quarter-time to stem the bleeding but it was only a temporary fix.Dangerfield’s first game back from injury has ended with him being taken to hospital, further souring the Cats’ 38-point loss.
“I can’t answer that,” Scott said, a few minutes before the club tweeted Dangerfield had “gone to hospital as a precaution for further assessment”.Credit:“Danger was basically incapacitated from early in the second quarter. He got that knock and he just progressively seized up more and more ... he’s a warrior but it didn’t look to us like he could move.
Dangerfield shrugged off the pain of that collision with Houston to convert a 50m penalty early in the third term, which extended the Cats’ lead to 13 points, before the Power turned on the afterburners.
