The Western Bulldogs have been defeated by Port Adelaide by 40 points at the MCG on Friday night. 

The Power's Julia Teakle had a night out on the hallowed turf, kicking four goals in her side's 7.4 (46) to 0.6 (6) win in the opening game of week two.

It was all Port Adelaide from the first bounce, with the Power's opening two goals coming within the first five minutes of the game.

Ironically, it was former Bulldogs vice-captain and now Power forward Kirsty Lamb who kicked the first goal of the match off her trusty left boot, before Teakle followed up shortly after with her side's second.

The Bulldogs re-grouped and gathered momentum in the latter stages of the first quarter, finishing with three more inside 50s than their opponents despite nothing to show on the scoreboard for their efforts.

Ellie Blackburn was in everything as she attempted to lift the team in the second term, but it was to no avail. Port went into half-time with a 23-point lead, and didn't let up after the main break.

The Power's forwards continued to hit the scoreboard with ease, with Teakle kicking her fourth, Lamb her second and Gemma Houghton her first in a dominant second half.

While the Bulldogs continued to fight in the final term, keeping the Power goalless, it was another dire day for Tam Hyett's Bulldogs who finished goalless and after kicking just one goal last week against Greater Western Sydney.

The Bulldogs will look to reset ahead of a Thursday night meeting with West Coast at Mission Whitten Oval.
