Winner: Carlton
For the second week running, Carlton feature as a winner on Zero Hanger, as the Blues notched their fourth in a row in what was Kade Simpson's 250th game.
Carlton trailed at every break against Port Adelaide and were down by three goals with 10 minutes remaining. However, belief, resolve and heart kept them going right to the end to record a memorable win.
It represents an amazing turnaround from first-year coach Brendan Bolton and from a neutral point of view, its great to see them kicking on.
Loser: St Kilda
The Saints had been in pretty good form coming into their round eight match-up with West Coast, but no one envisaged they would be on the receiving end of a 103-point flogging in Perth.
The Saints allowed the Eagles to walk the ball away from the centre square in the opening term and failed to really pressure the Eagles in any way.
It just seems the Saints are taking two steps forward and one step back and its their inconsistency that has them sitting at 2-6 rather than pushing for the eight.
Blake Acres, just three weeks after a 28-possession and two goal game, was hardly sighted against the Eagles which pretty much sums up their current form.
