Star West Coast defender Reuben Ginbey has been cut down by a quad injury as Port Adelaide snapped a four-game losing streak with a pulsating six-point AFL win at Optus Stadium.
In a nail-biting finish to Saturday night’s match, West Coast came from 22 points behind late in the third quarter to close the margin to four points with three minutes remaining.
The ball lived in West Coast’s forward line for most of the last quarter, and the Eagles had their chances to snatch the lead.
But Port were able to finally clear the ball from their defence in the final two minutes of the game, with Mitch Georgiades kicking a point after the final siren to make it a six-point win, 11.11 (77) to 10.11 (71), in front of 47,479 fans.
