Port had seven of the top eight rated players on the ground, where did it go wrong? Genuine question I didn’t watch it just caught up with the result

It went wrong with how they rate the players.

Port chipped around at half back racking up ranking points

"Ranking points" are not a good measure of player/team performance

I was hoping the guys on First Crack would talk about Port and they have, showed some footage of players walking/not chasing while the ball was in dispute and worse while the Suns had control of the ball meaning the Suns could transition the ball from defence inside 50 quite easily at times.

Some of Ports ball movement inside 50 (just bombing it in and putting on forwards head) was frustrating to watch and like AE said above they chipped the ball around the back half a fair bit as the Suns set up very well defensively.

Interesting that Port let Willie travel to Perth on a recovery day, has he had his papers stamped maybe?
