Emerging star Chad Wingard inspired Port Adelaide to the upset of the AFL season, a slogging 18-point comeback victory against Sydney on Saturday.
The Power trailed at three-quarter time but Wingard triggered a late surge as Port won 10.12 (72) to 8.6 (54) at a sodden AAMI Stadium.

Port ruined the comeback game of Sydney's prized recruit Kurt Tippett, who kicked a goal in the first minute and finished with two in an ominous debut for the Swans.

Wingard booted three goals, including two in the tense final stanza, while Port's acting captain Brad Ebert, Matthew Broadbent and veteran hard-nuts Dom Cassisi and Tom Logan revelled in the heavy going.

After years of neglect, coach Ken Hinkley says Port Adelaide are relevant again
But Hinkley says the resurgent Power remain "miles away" from their ultimate ambition.
"We are becoming a little bit more relevant, there is no doubt about that,'' Hinkley said.
But the rookie coach said Port remained far from producing the consistent excellence of clubs like Sydney.
"We are miles away from there ... (but) we have taken some ground,'' he said.
"We have beaten a genuine top-four side today ... it's a great confidence builder. We know how to do it, now we have got to be able to do it week-in, week-out.''
The Swans were superbly served by midfielders Josh Kennedy and Jarrad McVeigh and backman Nick Malceski was prominent.
But the flag fancies lost ex-skipper Adam Goodes, who was substituted at three-quarter time with an injured right knee.
The dual Brownlow medallist watched a final term in which the lead changed five times before Wingard helped to seal Sydney's fate.
The 19-year-old was instrumental in delivering first-year coach Ken Hinkley his greatest win after the Power slipped behind early as Tippett took centre stage.
Tippett took a mark just 11 seconds into his playing career at Sydney, and then converted, in an impressive comeback after an 11-match suspension for his illegal 2009 contract with his former club, Adelaide.
Tippett potted another some 17 minutes later as Sydney crafted a 4.1 to 1.2 advantage by quarter-time.
But the Port, in two quarters of water-logged work, snuck within four points at the last break.
The home side, inspired by Wingard, then overwhelmed the reigning premiers to bank their seventh win from 12 games this season.
