Port Adelaide has held off a fast-finishing St Kilda to record a thrilling five-point win over the Saints at Docklands stadium on Saturday night.
The Power dominated the first half, particularly the first quarter, in which they blew St Kilda away with a seven-goal-to-two burst. They kicked away to a 47-point lead in time on of the second quarter and although Lenny Hayes kicked a late goal for the Saints to reduce the deficit to under 40 points at the long break, there was no sign of the second-half effort that was to come.
Starting the second half with renewed vigour, St Kilda kicked the first goal of the third term at the six minute mark through Tom Lee, with Nick Riewoldt and Ben McEvoy following up with majors soon after. Another to Stephen Milne just before the final change saw the margin reduced to 13 points and it was "game on" in the final term.
The first eight minutes of the last quarter was an arm-wrestle, with the two sides trading behinds before the Power went coast to coast and Westhoff capped off with a goal that saw Port lead by 16 points. Jack Steven replied a minute later to reduce the margin to 10 but John Butcher kicked another for Port to restore the 16-point buffer.
But St Kilda simply wouldn't go away. A running 50-metre goal from Steven saw the lead again cut back to 10, and then goals to youngsters Tom Lee and Tom Curren saw St Kilda hit the front for the first time in the match at the 19-minute mark.
However, the dream comeback win was not to be. Jasper Pittard was legged and then given a 50-metre penalty after Hayes knocked the ball from his hands and his resultant goal saw the Power home by just five points.
Chad Wingard (22 touches and two goals) and Matthew Broadbent (25 possessions) were excellent for Port Adelaide, which hangs on to a spot in the top eight, one game clear of Carlton. The Power will play a home game against Brisbane next Sunday.
Leigh Montagna (35 disposals) was magnificent for the Saints, who are languishing in 16th place on the ladder with just three wins for the season. They will face another tough task next Saturday night when they take on Geelong at Kardinia Park.
