Power pip wooden-spoon Eagles by one point

Poor West Coast.

Battling hard to get off the bottom of the ladder, the Eagles stormed home in a low scoring battle against Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium only to go down by one point.

David Rodan scrambled a behind in the dying seconds top save the day for the Power.

The Eagles kicked 4.2 to 1.4 in the last quarter after trailing 4.10 to 7.9 at three quarter-time.

West Coast coach John Worsfold and his young line-up can't take a trick.

They were pipped at the post by Brisbane at Subiaco in the previous round.

Kane Cornes was superb for Port Adelaide with 38 possessions.

Matt Thomas and Dom Cassisi were also terrific.

Brett Ebert and Cameron Hitchcock kicked two goals apiece.

Dean Cox, Matt Rosa, Scott Selwood and Adam Selwood did well for the Eagles.

Elevated rookie Andrew Strijk kicked three goals and has been impressive since making his debut against the Western Bulldogs at Subiaco.

Power's caretaker coach Matthew Primus has celebrated three wins in five games.

His players were determined to bounce back from their pathetic display against St Kilda at Etihad Stadium in the previous round.

Final scores: Port Adelaide 8.13 (61) to West Coast 8.12 (60)
