THE Bendigo Bank Bombers squandered a 40-point half-time lead against the Gold Coast on Saturday as they lost their VFL match in Cairns with a kick after the siren.
Scores were level at 89 apiece when the final siren sounded.
PORT Melbourne is safe for the finals. Now it will
go boot-for-leather for a top-four finish and double chance.
The Boroughs on Saturday stitched up a fourth consecutive
September engagement with a 25-point win over the third-placed
Casey Scorpions at an achingly cold Casey Fields.
Using a strong wind going to the cricket ground end, they
drilled seven goals to one in the last quarter to transform a
three-quarter-time deficit into their ninth success this season.
Before the match coach Gary Ayres remarked that most games are
won and lost in the midfield and Port had three supreme
onballers in Adam Bentick (39 disposals), Toby Pinwill (35) and
Shane Valenti (25) and another influential player in rover Ryan
McMahon (24 possessions and two goals in the final quarter).
NOT
even skipper Brett Johnson was safe.
When Williamstown coach Peter German unloaded on his players in the three-quarter-time huddle against Coburg on Saturday, it was momentarily easy to forget that the Seagulls were 18 points to the good.
But German clearly hadn't liked what he saw in the third term as the Tigers previously goalless for almost 60 minutes booted four unanswered goals to draw within striking distance of Willi.
Western Bulldogs rookie Matt Panos wore a spray, and even captain Brett Johnson as reliable and constant as taxes copped a handful of choice words from a steely eyed German.
His words did the trick.

Dixon has been named at centre-half forward for the Gold Coast ahead of their VFL match against the Bendigo Bombers at Cazalys tomorrow.

KARMICHAEL Hunt's on-again, off-again VFL appearance in Cairns is on again after a ''very effusive father'' prompted a change of heart from Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna.
McKenna had decided to rest his star recruit from Saturday’s game between the Gold Coast and Bendigo Bombers at Cazalys despite Hunt’s eagerness to continue his Aussie rules education in the Far North.
