What to expect

Port Adelaide’s game style is reflected in its dominance in three statistical categories.

Across the competition, the Power rank number one in contested possessions, clearances and inside 50s.

Ken Hinkley’s side relishes the contest.

Led by the likes of Travis Boak and Tom Rockliff, who both rank inside the top 12 in the competition for contested possessions, the Power are able to generate territorial ascendancy.

This has led to the Power going inside 50 more than any other side in the game so far this year.

Interestingly, even in its four losses in 2019, Port Adelaide has won the inside 50 count on each of those occasions.

Where Hawthorn might find some vulnerability in Port Adelaide is its first quarters, of which they have won just three so far this year.

Across its four losses, Port lost all bar one of its opening terms, highlighting a key focus in picking apart this finals contender.

Player to watch

Last year, Travis Boak recorded his lowest disposals average since the second season of his career in 2008.

But in 2019 Boak has resurrected himself, with increased midfield time seeing him record 30-plus disposals in seven of his nine games this year.

Recording career-highs in contested possessions and clearances, Boak is evidently a barometer for his side and the way they like to play the game.
