The 30-year-old Cornes had 34 possessions and scored a goal in the opening term, putting Port on the road to the win, the side's first since beating the West Coast Eagles at home on April 27. Cornes barely acknowledged his achievement post-game, preferring to talk about the team's overall performance. Port won 19.11 (125) to 6.14 (50). "We're six wins now; we only won five for the whole season last year," Cornes said. It's good to be back on track. We had a number of very good players today after having a few down on form in our last three or four games. Coach Ken Hinkley welcomed the hit-out before the side's match with the Sydney Swans at home next Saturday in what will be former Crow Kurt Tippett's long-awaited Swans debut after his AFL-imposed suspension. "It was very good preparation for us," Hinkley said. I saw them (GWS) kick five quick goals against Geelong last week. We admire the way the good sides go about their business and we want to be one of those sides at some point. Sometimes these sort of games are probably harder to handle to get the job done. We expect to be a really strong club and we expect to compete well against whatever the competition is. We look forward to next week's challenge against what is in the Sydney Swans a really good side. I believe we deserve more respect; we've worked really hard this year. Port Adelaide are not the easybeats. I know we are going to get some losses, but we are also going to turn up and perform. Hinkley's heavily retooled Port Adelaide outfit had the game well in its keeping by quarter-time, having kicked six goals to one. Cornes had plenty of winners around him. Travis Boak, who was slated to start in the centre, found himself a target up forward for much of the game, rewarding Hinkley's gamble with three goals. So, too, did Angus Monfries who had a day out with the boot, scoring a treble as Port ran away with the match. Giants coach Kevin Sheedy took the loss, his side's 12th of the season, on the chin. "We're obviously very disappointed a week after the way we played against Geelong," he said. It was probably the youngest and least experienced team I've ever coached today. We averaged 25 (AFL) games throughout the whole team. But I'm not going to back off picking a young side to play because they are the future of this club. Our start was really disappointing -- we just mishandled the ball, there was no sureness in our play like it was the week before in the first quarter. But I was really proud of the way we kept hanging in there and won the last quarter on the scoreboard. Of the beaten brigade, Tom Scully finished with 30 possessions, Jonathan Giles worked hard all day in the ruck against Matthew Lobbe, while Zac Williams, named as the substitute, came on in the last quarter for Lachie Plowman, opening his goal-scoring account with his first touch of the game.
