To the Panthers credit they didn't stop fighting despite trailing by a huge deficit, kicking three goals in the final quarter.
Coby Helyar did his best against the odds, gathering 21 disposals, two goals and six marks for the Panthers.
Encounter Bay product Tarik Illingworth was also impressive with 18 disposals, three marks and three rebound 50s.
Meanwhile, Luke Bogle was influential for the Panthers, collecting 20 disposals, five clearances and a goal.
Robert Badger (12 disposals, four marks and five tackles) and Brett Kennedy (18 disposals, nine marks and a goal) were also stand outs for the visitors.
