Black and White's all right for coach Nathan Buckley.
An early celebration was in order when Ben Sinclair sunk the opening goal of the afternoon.
Is there a more reliable player than Ben Johnson? The Magpies welcomed back the left footer from a hamstring strain.
Scott Pendlebury channels basketball hero Michael Jordon with this specky on centre wing. Air Pendles, anyone?
Harry O'Brien had a how-do-you-do with Robbie Gray in the first quarter.
Port threw everything but the kitchen sink at the Pies. Jay Schultz tried an acrobatic move to try and reel in a grab over his opponent.
Two youngsters on the stretch: Tom Young is spoiled by Troy Chaplin; Alex Fasolo emerges from the darkness to mark.
It was a bloody good win, as Jarryd Blair will tell you.
Not much got past these two backmen on Saturday. Harry O'Brien was back to his best rebounding form while Marty Clarke celebrated his 50th game with another accomplished display.
Hands up who had 29 disposals?
Dayne Beams glows as he sinks a first half goal.
With 36 possessions, Dane Swan was always going to feature in a few photos.

Skipper Nick Maxwell salutes the crowd as he leaves the ground.
