Port remained undefeated after five rounds of the competition but in their last three rounds against North Melb, Richmond and last week against Carlton, they have finished on the wrong side of the final score.

They were always well behind against Carlton last week and not for some poor kicking from the Blues (13 minors) the score-line may have been a lot worse than 109 – 91.

The loss sees the

It’s tough facing Geelong at the best of times but facing them coming off a narrow loss to Collingwood, is probably worse.

Again, a slow start had the Cats behind at the major break but an eight goal to two 3^rd quarter had them back in front heading and leading well into the 4^th term.

However, it appeared the effort took its toll on the players and Collingwood rallied again late, kicking the last three goals of the game to hand Geelong their first defeat of the season 102 -96.

The last time Port got the better of the Cats was in round 21 of the 2007 season. In the seven games since, Geelong’s winning margin has been by an average of 62 points.
