Port Adelaide turn it on in fourth quarter

Port Adelaide has put a dampener on Kade Simpson's 300th AFL match celebrations with a 21-point win over Carlton at the MCG.

The brave Blues trailed by just two points at three-quarter time but the Power booted the first four goals of the final term to claim a hard-fought 13.12 (90) to 10.9 (69) victory.

In its first visit to the MCG this season, Port wasn't at its best but strengthened its claims on a top-four finish, improving to a 10-4 record in front of 26,562 fans.

Robbie Gray wasn't right at the top of his game but kicked three classy goals, Tom Rockliff amassed a team-high 28 possessions with Chad Wingard (24 touches and two goals) also influential.

Simpson became the fifth Blue to reach the 300-game mark and the 34-year-old starred with 37 disposals in his milestone match.

In his first game since suffering a foot injury in round nine, skipper Marc Murphy caught the eye with 27 possessions, with Patrick Cripps (32 possessions) typically strong at the stoppages.

Charlie Curnow enhanced his growing reputation as the next big thing in the AFL world with four goals and nine marks.

More misery for West Coast after late Crows surge

The Crows have relegated West Coast to its third straight loss after a stellar fourth quarter blitz at the Adelaide Oval.

Trailing by 20 points at three-quarter time, the Crows out-pointed the Eagles 42 points to 12 in the final quarter to take the 12.6 (88) to 12.6 (78) win.

It was second-placed West Coast's third consecutive defeat after going down to Sydney and Essendon in recent weeks.
