Port skipper injured as Bombers slump again
- On Sunday, Port defeated Essendon at Adelaide Oval as captain Connor Rozee left with suspected left hamstring tendon involvement and nerve numbness.
- After Brayden Fiorini's opening goal, Port logged eight consecutive majors and led 6.5 to 1.3 after a 32-point quarter, powered by midfield dominance from Horne-Francis and Butters.
- Jason Horne-Francis finished with 26 touches and three goals while Jack Lukosius also kicked three majors and Nate Caddy ended 4.3 for Essendon.
- With the loss, Essendon now faces a 165-game losing streak and a 55% season percentage, as Brad Scott urged resilience, saying 'No one wants to hear all the preaching about stability and all that sort of stuff right now'.
- After Rozee's exit, Port still extended the margin to 62 points before the last quarter, with Miles Bergman leaving injured and Essendon losing Mason Redman and Dyson Sharp.
