Hone snaps from 30 out but narrowly misses, Sturt could easily snatch this. They're looking very strong. Port have had enough of toying with Glenelg and kicked a few goals.

15 minutes gone, no scoring for the past 6 minutes. On the stats I can see Sturt's forwards are getting a bit more of the ball now, but for no score.
Bruggeman seems like he's getting left behind. Is he injured?

[therisingblues]

3 straight kicks now. Allen gets a behind.

[scott]

Bruggemann fine, just no good today. Allen with a flying shot from 60 narrowly misses also, Sturt peppering the goals but keep missing

Time the enemy of Sturt now. Q4 inside 50s 18-2 but the Eagles' defence is holding on desperately. Glenelg half a chance now too with three straight goals.

[therisingblues]

Bah, you could see it coming. Peppering the goal for no score is always a bad sign.
Thank Scott.
Hope the Bays can get up.

SIREN! Port win by 8, Glenelg will rue that first term and trailed by as much as 49 points in the second quarter.
