9. Port Adelaide 14.13.97 def Brisbane 14.8.92

Most experts were tipping Port to thrash the young Lions especially after Port had won their first two games of the year against Fremantle and Sydney. The humid conditions suited the Lions more so than the weary Power and if it wasn’t for a Jared Polec mark on the last line of defence they would’ve pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the season. Port held on to win the contest by five points, however the Lions proved that they have plenty of upside this year.
