Port Adelaide (6-5, 7th)

What's gone right: Port's star performers have been spread all over the age spectrum, with a mix of youth and experience providing a lot of excitement for the Power army so far in 2019. The crop of kids the Power have brought in - Connor Rozee, Xavier Duursma, Zac Butters and Willem Drew - have been fantastic, and have given Port fans many reasons to be optimistic heading into the future. Couple that with former skipper Travis Boak having a dominant 2019 campaign, and you see the Power sitting in the top eight as things stand.

What's gone wrong: Similar to previous seasons, the Power have shown many signs of inconsistency over the course of the season. Strong wins against West Coast and St Kilda have been coupled with bad losses against the likes of Hawthorn, Collingwood and the Crows, which would surely sting the most.

Best and fairest: Travis Boak would be well-placed to record his second best and fairest medal at the Power. The two-time All-Australian has been exceptional for the Power this season, averaging over 31 disposals this season and scoring seven goals as a consistent performer for Ken Hinkley's side.

Season grade: C

The Power has been mostly impressive so far this season, and deserve to find themselves sitting within the eight based on results so far this year. More needs to be done if Power is to cement themselves within the eight come the end of the season, but their first 11 games of the season leave a lot for Power fans to be excited about.
