An incredible come-from-behind victory has gifted Port Adelaide a home elimination final at Alberton.
The Power overcame a determined GWS outfit that had no finals ambitions heading into the game.
Despite knowing their fate, the Giants led at every break, including an 11-point margin at three quarter time.
The one-point Power victory means they’ll face Richmond in an elimination final on Sunday.
Minor premiers North Melbourne will host Adelaide at Ikon Park on Friday, with the Crows pushing the undefeated Roos in round 9.
The McClelland Trophy winners Hawthorn will host the runner ups Brisbane on Sunday at Ikon Park, while Fremantle hosts Essendon at Fremantle Oval on Saturday night.
Fremantle will head into AFLW finals with form behind them after accounting for a plucky Western Bulldogs at a blustery Fremantle Oval on Sunday.
Only a record blowout could have shifted the Dockers into the top four, and while the Dogs were in front early thanks to some wasteful goalkicking 파워볼 from Fremantle, the weight of possession handed the home side a 4.11.35 to 3.3.21 win in front of 2500 fans.
It means the Dockers will host Essendon in an elimination final at home next week.
Mim Strom continued her push for an All Australian berth and was dominant in the ruck and around the ground with 30 hit-outs, 30 touches, seven tackles and three behinds and will prove a handful for a Bombers side missing Steph Wales.
Despite the Dockers having more of the ball early, Isabelle Pritchard kicked the Dogs’ first in the opening term, and Jasmyn Smith’s incredible vision and clean hands set up the second.
However, in the second quarter Ebony Antonio sparked her side into action in the second term after a one-handed intercept mark after Laura Pugh.
The Dogs regained the front shortly after, but only for a minute as a 50 metre penalty gave Fremantle back the lead, and they would lose it for the rest of the game.
