Port Adelaide’s Esava Ratugolea might need a refresher in AFL defence after committing a cardinal sin in his side’s clash with Melbourne on Saturday night.
The Demons won 15.6 to 13.11 thanks to a five-goal final quarter, but a couple of errors from Ratugolea might have cost the Power the game.

New to Kayo?Ratugolea misjudged a marking contest near Port’s defensive 50 and instead of spoiling the ball to safety, it bounced off him straight to Melbourne’s Bayley Fritsch.In the second quarter, Ratugolea was the last line of defence on the goal line when Melbourne’s Kysaiah Pickett kicked a snap from a set shot around 30m out from goal.
Betts joked he would have liked to have seen Port Adelaide coach’s Ken Hinkley’s reaction to the goal line blunder.“You’re a tall forward! You’ve got to extend your hands.”
