Match Report

In the final match of the weekend, the ABC picked their TV game very well as the Roosters played host to the Magpies. Still without Hargraves at goal, no Francou either, but you wouldn't know it later on in this match. 

They started off trailing the Magpies at the end of the first term by eight points, then by nine points at half time. When play resumed for the third term, the Magpies looked like they were about to run away with the game when they stretched their lead to 23 points part way through the third term. But the Magpies run was brought to a screeching halt for the remainder of the game. After being in front by 16 points at three-quarter time, Port managed only 1.1 while North bagged 7.5 to take the visitors completely off guard. The Roosters won by four goals, coach Andrew Jarman could be seen jumping for joy after the siren. 

Chris Ladhams was a standout with 30 disposals for the day, while Marc Bullen was best for Port.
