KANGAROOS v PORT MELBOURNE Full match coverage and stats
The 16.6 (102) to 3.2 (20) win on Saturday afternoon was the Kangaroos' sixth straight victory and maintains their perfect winning record at Arden Street this season.
The scoreboard reflected the hosts’ utter dominance from start to finish, giving the visitors little opportunity to attack, while being relentless in front of goal with eight different Roos hitting the scoreboard.
Maddie Di Cosmo (35 disposals, seven clearances) was the star of the show in the middle, bullocking her way through the contest and tight opposition attention.
The superstar mid was also dangerous in space, especially in the opening term where she picked up 15 disposals, five clearances and slotted the opener.
Meier Magic
The Tahlia Meier highlight reel continues to grow after she kicked two for the game, including a goal-of-the-year contender right on half-time.
The small forward swooped on a loose ball deep in the pocket, before shrugging off a tackle and using the outside of her boot to dribble the ball through right on the siren, sparking pandemonium at Arden Street.

Captain fantastic
Premierships aside, it doesn't get much better than Tierney's performance in her 50th VFLW game. She kicked five goals in a dominant display and could have had more, finishing with 5.3 to go with 19 disposals and four marks.
Barba’s back
Returning for her first game since round eight, Alana Barba played like she had never left. The premiership midfielder slotted seamlessly back into the middle, finishing with 31 disposals and 11 tackles in a classy performance.
Nike’s support act
While Tierney and Di Cosmo stole the show, Nyakoat Dojiok had another excellent game down forward, adding four goals to her tally for the season.
The star forward fought through a stacked defence to find space and create opportunities for herself and her teammates. She slotted a long-range snap late in the match to bring up the ton for her side.
Next up
North Melbourne Werribee will travel down to Casey Fields to take on the Casey Demons on Sunday, July 20. The opening bounce is scheduled for 10.05am AEST.
