What? in the 6 rounds prior (including to round 10) port had won 5 of its 6 latest games by 14 pts. Hardly Scintillating footy. How is that different to winning ugly ?I keep saying it and a few Port Adelaide supporters cracked the sads but they peaked too early in the season.
Winning is good footy but winning while playing scintillating footy round 10 is a concern. It's unsustainable.
You want to be playing at top speed come rounds 15 onwards. Collingwood been winning ugly most of the year. A few brilliant performances and now have their best 22 starting to settle. It's all about cohesion on route to finals.
