PORT ADELAIDE v ST KILDA
Friday 26 April @ Adelaide Oval
Thrashings befell both sides last weekend and the manner of them differed but would also have annoyed greatly.
One led by a long way and faded, the other gave zero yelps from halfway through the first.
Up 5 goals at the MCG against a good side would have had the Power fans getting a bit excited thinking of what that might be like in 5 months' time.
By the end that was 180 degrees apart as they lost by 7 goals. That much vaunted midfield picked up touches but were not anywhere near as influential as playing at home.
With Rozee locked down and Charlie Dixon 'managed' the excitement factors were limited.
Are the Saints fans going to be any more or less impressed given their capitulation?
The way the defence almost gave up to half time, and handed it to the Dogs, does not bode well heading to Adelaide now where they don't do well.
Most of their ball winners picked up cheap ones across half back. To add to that, the ease of the loss was strange given under Ross Lyon they've mostly, at worst, been competitive.
