Saturday the 1st of June the Port Adelaide FC played the Western Bulldogs in a match located in Darwin. If the Power won this match, it would have taken their season record to 6 wins and 4 loses. the match however didn't go to plan for the Power; going down to the Bulldogs by 9 points.
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley described the match as their worst for the season stating;
"It's been a really poor night for us, I think it just came down to a little bit more want in the third quarter. They wanted the win. They wanted to win the ball, they won the contested possession really well. They just wanted to win the game more than we did, which was disappointing.It should be very damning because we should never have let that game go the way it went." explained Power Coach Ken Hinkley.Port Adelaide's 5.0 start now sits at 5 wins and 5 loses, and the next 5 matches don't get any easier for the Power. After the bye they face the Giants which is a game they should win, the Swans, Collingwood, Essendon, and the Hawks in that order. It is possible that after round 15 Port could have a record that sits as 6 wins and 9 loses which would mean mission impossible if Port were to make finals.
