Port Adelaide clinched a narrow victory over St Kilda in a thrilling finish at Marvel Stadium, with key defender Aliir Aliir shining in the final quarter. The Power managed to edge past St Kilda by two points, breaking a three-game losing streak and giving coach Ken Hinkley some relief.

Aliir Aliir and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher delivered crucial defensive plays in the final quarter, helping Port Adelaide secure the tight 8.14 (62) to 8.12 (60) win. St Kilda, struggling with a 5-11 record, fought hard but fell short in a match marred by errors on both sides.

A standout performance from midfielder Jason Horne-Francis and the early dominance of Port Adelaide set the tone for the match. Despite St Kilda’s valiant efforts, the team was unable to capitalize on opportunities in the final term, allowing Port Adelaide to maintain a narrow lead.

Jack Sinclair’s strong performance for St Kilda and Rowan Marshall‘s three goals kept the team in the game, but ultimately, it was Port Adelaide’s ability to capitalize on key moments that secured the victory. St Kilda’s late inclusion of ruckman Tom Campbell and the absence of key players like Seb Ross and Brad Hill put pressure on the team.
