Melbourne have made a “big statement” with a brilliant seven-point win over Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night. In a thrilling clash that went down to the wire, the Demons held on for a 15.6 to 13.11 victory that confirmed their premiership credentials. “This is a big statement from Melbourne, you sense tonight,” Channel 7 commentator Luke Darcy said. It was extra special given it was Jack Viney’s 200th game, who follows in the footsteps of father Todd.
Ben Brown’s third major with a tick over seven minutes left put the visitors in front, before Bayley Fritsch threaded the sealer from an acute angle some five minutes later. Port were well served by veteran Travis Boak , Ollie Wines , Zak Butters and skipper Connor Rozee , while Darcy Byrne-Jones, Willie Rioli and Jeremy Finlayson scored two majors each. Port’s small forwards Byrne-Jones, Jed McEntee and Francis Evans all snapped goals within 15 minutes as the home side raced to a 17-point lead.
