Casey scored heavily in the first quarter, with Port's forward ventures few and far between. Milhuissen deservedly was BoG for Port, having done very well as Port defence was under siege. Brad Sutcliffe made a good debut, although I was a little surprised to see him named amongst the bests.
In the Reserves, Port Melbourne made it two wins in a row, holding out to beat the Scorpions in a tight tussle.

Did you get to Casey Fields for the match, Ons?
I thought your No 26, Nahas, was a livewire. We thought he was just a little mite when we saw him wandering around next to the interchange bench. But he's got some spirit when he plays. When he builds up some bulk he will look 16 instead of 14, even though he's 18.
Yup, arrived at 3/4 time in the twos. Nahas is a very exciting prospect for Port, with good pace, an ability to find the ball, and a ferocious tackler.
Made the Vic metro squad, but missed out on being drafted, but hopefully with a few seasons of weights will become a terrific player at VFL level.
i think port are gonna be alright, they moved the ball well when they had an opportunity, they just lack a bit of experience and size around the contests. but looked to be well coached.
It would be extremely tough you can't expect a whole lot the next season when you lose an alliance its like takiong 8-10 players away from your team. i think a good CHF and a Big bloke in the ruck would be extremely helpful. but it will come, although starved of opportunities i felt they moved the ball pretty well.
