Brisbane have reinforced growing queries about Port Adelaide’s AFL premiership credentials with a stunning 37-point upset win.<\/h3>\n

After starting the season with five losses, the Lions posted their second-straight win and added to Carlton’s woes by relegating them to the bottom of the ladder.<\/p>\n

The 15.12 (102) to 8.17 (65) loss leaves the Power with a 3-4 record.<\/p>\n

Two barnstorming seasons under coach Ken Hinkley meant Port started this seasons as one of the main premiership fancies.<\/p>\n

But rivals have worked out how to blunt their fast-paced game style.<\/p>\n

Port’s next opponents are Richmond, who posted their best win of the season so far in a pulsating five-point thriller against Collingwood at the MCG.<\/p>\n

Coach Damien Hardwick lauded captain Trent Cotchin, who was best afield in the 16.9 (105) to 15.10 (100) win.<\/p>\n

It featured 10 lead changes and will go down as one of the games of the year.<\/p>\n

“Trent Cotchin’s game was unbelievable,” Hardwick said.<\/p>\n

“He stood up when it counted.<\/p>\n

“He was trying to come to the bench at the end, we sent him back on with four minutes to go and he willed us over the line.<\/p>\n

“It was a great captain’s game.”<\/p>\n

There were growing criticisms of the Tigers after three-straight losses.<\/p>\n

But Sunday’s win also broke a seven-game losing streak against the Magpies.<\/p>\n

The much-improved Western Bulldogs threatened to pull off another major Sunday upset when they pushed unbeaten Fremantle at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

Scores were level with six minutes left.<\/p>\n

But the Dockers held their nerve, kicking the last two goals of the game to win 15.11 (101) to 14.4 (88).<\/p>\n

Fremantle’s Brownlow Medal favourite Nat Fyfe is on report for tripping, but if he is found guilty his most likely penalty would be a fine.<\/p>\n

Under the new tribunal rules, a financial sanction would not make him ineligible for the medal.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s boilovers and thrillers were in stark contrast to Saturday’s series of beltings.<\/p>\n

West Coast thrashed undermanned Gold Coast by 92 points, while GWS had their biggest winning margin (78 points) and kicked their highest score (19.21) at Carlton’s expense.<\/p>\n

Hawthorn also flexed their considerable muscle and dismantled Melbourne by 105 points.<\/p>\n

St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt was taken to hospital with concussion as his side lost to Adelaide by 46 points.<\/p>\n

Sydney kicked 10 goals to two in the second half on Saturday night, blowing Geelong away by 43 points.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, North Melbourne beat Essendon by 11 points.<\/p>\n

It completed a bad week for the Bombers, after WADA announced an appeal last Tuesday against the AFL anti-doping verdict that cleared 34 current and past Essendon players.<\/p>\n
