Devon Meadows has suffered a second shock loss in as many weeks.
A fortnight ago the Panthers were a win clear in second but have now joined a pack of four on 28 points.
It comes after the disappointing 10.14 (74) to 15.4 (94) loss to Mornington.
Will Goosey, son of Simon, booted six for the Doggies in Mornington’s fifth win for the year.
Nathan Drew, Brodie White and Brayden Haynes were named among the best for the Panthers.
Pearcedale, meanwhile, returned to the winners list after a customary win over Tyabb.
The Dales trailed at the first change, but worked the Yabbies over to eventually win 12.8 (80) to 9.9 (63).
Jake Frawley was the best for the Dales and remains one of the stories of the season after several years of injury struggles.
In other results in MPNFL Division Two, Langwarrin dismantled Karingal 17.9 (111) to 7.5 (47) and Somerville recorded a good win over Hastings 9.12 (66) to 7.4 (46).
Rye added further pain to Crib Point’s season with a 11.16 (82) to 10.10 (70) win and Chelsea launched into second place with a convincing 10.19 (79) to 5.8 (38) win over the in-form Seaford outfit.
In Division 1, Frankston YCW scooted further ahead of the pack with an 11.13 (79) to 3.10 (28) win over Dromana.
Bonbeach won a 6.6 (42) to 5.11 (31) nail-biter over Mt Eliza, as did Sorrento over Frankston Bombers, 12.9 (81) to 11.12 (78).
Pines stayed in touch with the top-five by defeating Edithvale-Aspendale 14.7 (91) to 7.10 (52), and Rosebud re-entered the race to avoid relegation, by defeating Red Hill 8.4 (52) to 7.5 (47).
