“Our pressure in the first half was exceptional,” Magpies coach Craig McRae said. “You come into a game hoping that the players will bring that kind of intensity, and that was fantastic.”
‘Shout out to all of our fans who showed up today. 60,000 is a huge Saturday afternoon crowd against Port Adelaide. Thank you for coming and we really appreciate you.’

Nick Daicos produced another incredible performance, kicking a game-high two majors of 32 throwouts.
“Nick is a great player, an emerging talent, so we have to accept that,” McRae said.
“I told Nick that this will probably come and that we want to support him as a team… but he has an incredible ability to play multiple roles, which makes him difficult to tag.
“This is just the natural progression of a player who is an emerging talent.
“All the best players have to go through this, this is part of their journey right now.”
