Port Adelaide's hot early-season AFL form has given way to a run of three straight defeats, culminating in Sunday's disappointing loss to Carlton.
The scoreboard said 83 points but no one else thought Greater Western Sydney were that bad in their AFL clash with Hawthorn in Launceston.
North Melbourne's season of heartbreak continued on Friday night when Nic Naitanui's after-the-siren goal lifted the Eagles to a two-point win.
