West Coast are still without a win from the club's stint on the Gold Coast after losing their third straight match at the hands of Port Adelaide on Saturday.

Power big man Charlie Dixon bagged six goals, bucking the trend of under-performing key-position players to spearhead the table-topping Port to their fourth straight win, 13.11 (89) to 6.5 (41) at Metricon Stadium.

Apart from a three-goal burst early in the third quarter kickstarted by Josh Kennedy (four goals) that bridged the margin to 11 points, the Eagles lacked poise in attack and were swamped in defence.

Jeremy McGovern's late replacement, Will Schofield, was put on report for allegedly headbutting Power forward Zak Butters, gifting momentum back to the 'home' side in the third term. 

It leaves the Eagles staring at a 1-3 and a five-day break before they face Richmond on the Gold Coast.

When it wasn't Dixon dominating in the air, it was the Power's small forwards setting the tone with nine tackles laid in their forward 50 in the first term alone. 

Brad Ebert (16 disposals, two goals) celebrated his 250th AFL match in style and spoiled the 200th match milestones of Eagles Jack Darling and Lewis Jetta.

Sore Eagle skipper stands up
Leading a midfield that had been demoralised in the past fortnight, Shuey was a rare winner for the Eagles. After completing minimal training in recent weeks and playing with sore ribs that needed attention at half-time, Shuey had an equal game-high 12 contested possessions and 20 pressure acts as Port Adelaide midfielders Travis Boak and Tom Rockliff controlled most of the proceedings. 

Charlie is Port's new angel
Playing against a defence missing Jeremy McGovern, Charlie Dixon was the most influential player on the ground. The Power forward ended with six goals but could've had three or four more as he marked everything in sight. Playing on his former home ground where he played 31 matches as a Sun, Dixon ended with six contested marks and 12 score involvements from his 15 disposals and combined well with emerging forward Todd Marshall.
