The Bloods booted the first goal, but Portland kicked the next five to take a 19-point lead into quarter-time. The Bloods drew level in the second term, but the Tigers edged back in front before the main break and kept ahead the rest of the game.
Crane praised ruckman Ben Malcolm and midfielder Rhys Egan for giving the home side good supply.
The win saw the Tigers stay within striking distance of a top-five berth, paving the way for a scintillating game against Cobden next Saturday.
