Dons fans furious as Roo awarded first AFL goal after interminably long review ends in controversy
Was Toby Pink lucky to be awarded this goal?
Port Adelaide have beaten North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium to regain their momentum in season 2018.
This was a game devoid of twists and turns with the Power dominating in the first term and having the measure of the home team for much of the day.
North tried hard and their pressure in the attacking area was impressive yet the Power were able to repel the Kangaroos’ forays into the forward fifty easier than the home side would have liked.
Sam Gray who kicked four goals and Chad Wingard were influential up front and North didn’t have players doing something similar in their attacking zone.
The Kangaroos are Ben Brown focused, for good reason, yet the Power defence held him very well with the majority of his goals coming in the final term.
North were not embarrassed and will take a lot from the contest with Port restating their claims on a top four spot with an excellent performance.
Final score
North Melbourne 10.9.69
Port Adelaide 15.12.102

Apart from one five-goal game, GWS forward Toby Greene has only kicked six goals from the other eight games. He's traditionally had success against the Western Bulldogs.
Bayley Fritsch should become an even more important player from a structural perspective, given key forward Jacob van Rooyen will be unavailable due to concussion.
