Port annihilate Essendon
Matthew Lloyd might have kicked five goals for Essendon but it wasn’t enough to stop Port Adelaide collecting its third straight win.
It wasn’t even close.
The Power are suddenly finals contenders again after its 24.14 (158) to 15.4 (94) demolition of the weakened Bombers. Accurate kicking was the only thing that saved Essendon from a shellacking, as the Power kicked a stunning 14.10 in the first half.
Daniel Motlop kicked seven goals in a best on ground display, while Robbie Gray and Steven Salopek kicked three each.
The Bombers season is rapidly unravelling, with todays loss the fourth on the trot.
