Despite flashes of brilliance, Port struggled to find consistency. Post-match, coach Ken Hinkley was candid in his assessment, admitting that some of the team’s best players "weren't quite at that level" needed to secure a win. Essendon, on the other hand, looked composed and resilient, responding well to every challenge Port threw at them.
The turning point came in the final quarter when Essendon’s structure and discipline shone through. They absorbed Port Adelaide’s last surge and then struck back with precision, sealing the win with some clutch plays inside 50. The Bombers’ ability to hold their nerve under pressure was impressive, and this victory will undoubtedly boost their confidence going forward.
For Port Adelaide, it’s back to the drawing board. They have the talent, but they’ll need to sharpen up if they want to compete against the top teams this season. For Essendon, though, this win sends a strong message—they're here to make an impact in 2025. Fans will be buzzing after this one!
