AFL round 16 live updates: ‘Wasn’t easy’: Hinkley gets emotional after Power win; Blues and Tigers in tight contest

Must read

Port Adelaide have claimed a two-point victory in a tough-fought match against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.

Mitch Georgiades had a kick after the siren, which drifted to the side. But it didn’t matter, him preparing for the set shot held up the clock enough to squander any final hopes of the Saints getting another score on the board.

There were six lead changes in what was an arm wrestle from the first goal.

Jack Sinclair topped the disposal with 31, followed by Jason Horne-Francis with 28, then Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera with 26. Rowan Marshall had three goals, the only player with multiple majors.

As Power skipper Connor Rozee said to Fox after the siren “theres certainly a bit of relief after the past two weeks… the club being under pressure, it’s nice to get the win”.

Port Adelaide defeat St Kilda 8.14 (62) to 8.12 (60).
