Due to contractural agreements with the ABC, the match between Centrals and Port at NAP Oval ended up as the Match of the Day... putting them up against the Crows v. Cats match. However the crowd numbers did not suffer!
The home team made the Magpies suffer all day, starting off by kicking 7.3 to one goal in the first quarter then adding a further 5.4 to 3.0 in the second. The visitors' best effort was the third quarter, outscoring the Dogs 5.1 to 3.4. Centrals however, would not let them off so easily, so another they put on another seven goal quarter. Daniel Schell was on fire, kicking 7.5 in the Doggies 85 point demolition of Port... and putting their chances of an elimination final almost beyond reach.
