IT WAS only an exhibition match but Port Adelaide's Brad Ebert could not stop his raw emotions from surfacing in south London.

Understandably so, following a difficult couple of months since the death of his best mate John McCarthy on an end-of-season trip to Las Vegas.

After kicking the winning goal against the Western Bulldogs in Port's 14.4 (88) to 13.9 (87) win from 50m out on the boundary line with 40 seconds remaining, Ebert kissed the black tape on his arm and looked to the skies to salute his former teammate.

Very touching

Side note, I'd watch Ebert next year. He's one step away from becoming elite

Yeah mate, found the result this morning- for us Power supporters, a wins a WIN. Nice gesture by Brad, good on him

Noz

Good on Brad nice to see the salute, Was good to see Monfries play well as well.

Anyone know where i can watch this game?

Justin Bieber

They were 7 goals down to win :o

Noz

Probably was set up before to gain more interest in AFL.

JBs-Hawks

Scripted like a legends game :P

Any Dt stats anywhere?

Spinking

Good to see the boys from Port showing plenty of heart. I agree re: Ebert. Just needs the right help in there and will go to elite.

+ this.

Like the Lions/Demons game in Beijing when Jurrah did some heroics

Ricochet

is there anywhere we can see the stats on this game?

No idea where you get stats for this game but really, they mean absolutely nothing do they?
An exhibition game in London in November isn't gonna make anyone more or less confident in a player. Even if they had 30 posessions and kicked 6 goals, means nothin lol

yeh your right, but still it would be interesting to see if any young/underrated players stood out

not nothing. It'd be interesting to see how players like libba/ stevens went.

CrowsFan

Considering they only played with 16 on the park instead of 18 it does pretty much mean nothing. Apparently Libba did nothing and Stevens did alright though for your information ;)

Yeah it would be the youngsters from the two teams stats that would be good to see, just to see if they were amongst it. I agree, u still wouldn't automatically pick a kid because he was bog in these type of games, but good to see if he had a red hot go
