WEST Coast has stunned Port Adelaide by 10 points on Sunday night, holding strong against a torrent of Power attacks late in the game to score the best win of its season.
The Eagles took the lead late in the third term and managed to keep composed in their back half to sneak home 11.12 (78) to 10.8 (68).
The last five minutes were as intense as football can get.
Port threw everything at West Coast with Angus Monfries typifying the desperation of his side when he almost knocked himself out trying to win possession.
But, led by Jeremy McGovern and Mark LeCras (28 possessions, one goal), the Eagles' backline was superb.
"It's the best win that I've been a part of since I've been at the club," West Coast coach Adam Simpson said.
"We're really starting to see some development and excitement with our kids coming through."
