Richmond has ignored a lengthy lightning delay to press its finals case with a dominant 36-point win over Collingwood.

Ellie McKenzie and Monique Conti were outstanding for the Tigers, who prevailed 7.4 (46) to 1.4 (10) in wild weather at Punt Road on Saturday.

There was drama at half-time when a lightning storm concerned league officials, who postponed the start of the third quarter indefinitely.

The lightning eventually cleared and play resumed on a waterlogged surface about 30 minutes later than originally scheduled.

McKenzie finished with two goals from 18 disposals, while Conti relished the wet conditions in tallying 29 touches and seven clearances.

Tamara Luke and Eilish Sheerin kicked two goals each and Caitlin Greiser added one major for the Tigers.

The result gave the Tigers a 5-2 win-loss record ahead of another home match with Geelong in round seven.

They sit in provisional second spot on the ladder behind North Melbourne.

Meanwhile, Collingwood (1-6) is out of finals contention with four matches left to play.

Kangaroos extend unbeaten start

Jasmine Garner produced another influential display to help flag favourites North Melbourne maintain its undefeated record with a 55-point thumping of the Western Bulldogs.

Garner starred with 20 disposals and broke the match wide open with two goals in the third quarter, setting the Kangaroos on course for a 8.11 (59) to 0.4 (4) victory at Arden Street.

Ash Riddell (26 disposals, one goal) also shone for Darren Crocker's side, with Emma King and Niamh Martin adding two goals each in wet conditions.

The result ensured North Melbourne will hold top spot on the ladder for another week, with six wins and a draw from its seven outings.

"The rain just somehow keeps following us," Garner told Fox Footy.

"A lot of wet-weather footy but it was enjoyable and we got the win."

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs (2-5) are counting the cost of the heavy defeat that put a dent in their finals hopes.

The Bulldogs went goalless for the second time this season and posted their lowest-ever AFLW score as captain Deanna Berry (illness) and Lauren Ahrens (foot) both failed to finish the contest.

They will seek to bounce back when they host Essendon at Whitten Oval in round seven, while the Kangaroos take on the Sydney Swans in Hobart.

Power claim back-to-back victories

West Coast's finals hopes received a blow after Port Adelaide recovered from an early Ella Roberts onslaught to post a 13-point win in Perth.

The Eagles kicked three unanswered goals in the first quarter as Roberts ran amok.

But the Power, led by Gemma Houghton, turned the tables from that point, kicking the next five goals to secure the 7.7 (49) to 5.6 (36) victory.

Houghton finished with two goals, as did teammates Justine Mules-Robinson and Caitlin Wendland.

Although the Eagles (4-3) are still clinging to seventh spot on the ladder for the moment, they face fixtures against top-four fancies Hawthorn and Fremantle in a two-week stretch that will make or break their season.

The Power's second win on the trot improved their record to 3-4 and moved them into eighth place.

More importantly, their final four matches — against Collingwood, St Kilda, Gold Coast and GWS — are all against teams who currently sit outside of the top eight.

Lions smash Carlton by 55 points

Brisbane racked up a sixth straight AFLW win and a scoring record, roaring to second on the ladder after a 55-point thumping of Carlton at Ikon Park.

The Lions set an AFLW record by kicking at least one goal in 22 successive quarters as they charged to a 9.14 (68) to 1.7 (13) win.

Brisbane kicked the first six goals of the game before Breann Moody booted the Blues' first halfway through the third quarter, after a paltry first-half return of five behinds.

Back on the ground where they won last season's grand final, Brisbane were far more opportunistic than a Carlton team that fought hard but lacked polish In the forward half.

The 14th-placed Blues suffered a fourth-straight loss, all of them by at least 33 points, and kicking just five goals across those games.

Carlton had good periods in each of the first three quarters, but let themselves down with inaccurate goal kicking.

It was Brisbane's biggest win of the season and their fourth by at least 45 points.

The Lions had eight different goal kickers, with Ellie Hampson the only player to boot two, after notching the final major of a one-sided contest played in slippery conditions.

Brisbane's Taylor Smith pulled four clear at the top of the competition's goal-kicking chart despite spending most of the third quarter off the field.

She booted her 14th goal of the season from a 40-metre set shot in the second quarter, but left the field early in the third to have an ankle taped, before returning later.

"I'll be OK, we've got another week now so a little bit of recovery and it should be all good," Smith told Fox Footy.

"Wet-weather footy is never as pretty as you'd like it to be, but I think considering the conditions we were able to put together some nice passages of play throughout the game."

Carlton had a territorial edge in the opening minutes of the match but could only muster two behinds In the first quarter, trailing by eight at the first break.

As the first quarter progressed, Brisbane moved the ball forward more regularly and Isabel Dawes pounced on a loose ball from a stoppage and ran clear to kick the only goal of the term.

Brisbane kicked 4.4 to 0.3 in the second quarter to lead 38-5 at half-time.

They only won the third quarter by three points, with both sides kicking just a single goal, but pulled away in the fourth, booting all three goals of the term.

"They gave us a good lesson tonight for sure, they are a relentless side around the contest," Carlton coach Mathew Buck said.

"We've got some learnings to take away. We had some moments in the game that we would have liked to have capitalised on, but they were excellent."
