Riley Bonner
Takes 10 marks in loss
Bonner scored one goal, logged 32 disposals (25 kicks, seven handballs) and took 10 marks during Saturday's 116-45 loss to the Western Bulldogs in the Preliminary Final.
ANALYSIS
Bonner put up his best game of the season at the perfect time, but he probably shouldn't have gotten so much possession in order for the Power to win. With 19.9 disposals and 4.8 marks per game, Bonner was able to improve in 2021 and could get even better next season.

Ollie Wines
38 disposals in bad loss
Wines scored one goal and one behind in addition to logging 38 disposals (15 kicks, 23 handballs) during Saturday's Preliminary Final loss to the Western Bulldogs.
ANALYSIS
Wines led both teams in touches but that didn't mean much in a 71 point loss. His season comes to a hard-fought end with an impressive average of 32.4 disposals per game -- something he'll have plenty to work with in 2022.

Mitch Georgiades
Ruled out for Saturday
Georgiades (hamstring) has been ruled out of Saturday's preliminary final versus the Bulldogs.
ANALYSIS
Georgiades was able to play in an SANFL match last weekend, but he's apparently not yet ready to play at the AFL level with a lingering hamstring injury.

Orazio Fantasia
Set to play
Fantasia will be available for selection after getting cleared from a potential knee injury ahead of Saturday's Preliminary final against the Western Bulldogs.
ANALYSIS
Fantasia had scored four times before getting subbed out in his last game against Geelong and it seems to have been a successful move as he's able to be selected this weekend. With 28 goals in 14 games, Fantasia is plenty capable but his value is limited by a lack of consistent touches.

Mitch Georgiades
Plays over weekend
Georgiades (hamstring) returned during Saturday's SANFL match.
ANALYSIS
Georgiades missed the Qualifying final against Geelong but should be back for the Preliminary final against the Western Bulldogs. He's scored a solid 32 goals in 21 games this season, but has only logged more than 75 fantasy points on two occasions.

Hamish Hartlett
Returns in SANFL
Hartlett returned from a knee injury in Saturday's SANFL match against Glenelg.
ANALYSIS
Hartlett hasn't played in the AFL since the end of May and should at least be available for selection, and has recorded over 20 disposals in two of his nine games this season.

Xavier Duursma
24 disposals, 7 marks v. Geelong
Duursma procured 24 disposals, seven marks and four tackles Friday as Port Adelaide defeated Geelong 86-43 in a qualifying final match-up at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
The 21 year-old not only yielded season-highs for handballs (13), disposals, tackles and rebound 50s (2) in Friday's victory, but too recorded his best fantasy output (97 points) since a Round Two showing versus Essendon. Duursma has now appeared in every contest Port Adelaide has played since Jul. 23, averaging 18.5 disposals, four marks, 2.8 tackles, 1.3 clearances and 76.6 fantasy points a game along the way.

Travis Boak
Paces Power in fantasy scoring
Boak attained 32 disposals, eight clearances, seven tackles, five marks, three behinds and a single goal assist Friday as Port Adelaide knocked off Geelong 86-43 at Adelaide Oval.
ANALYSIS
Boak was influential in Friday's qualifying final win over Geelong, clearing or matching season-highs for disposals, marks and inside 50s (7) and finishing the Power's lone player with 100 or more fantasy points on the day. The 33 year-old veteran has now topped 30 touches and 110 fantasy points in each of the Power's last three outings and looks to propel Port Adelaide to its first premiership final since 2007 in two weeks as the team's current leader in total goal assists (20) and clearances (139).

Mitch Georgiades
Likely to play in semi-final match
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley told reporters following Friday's 86-43 qualifying final victory over Geelong that he expects Georgiades to be available to play in the Power's semi-final match in two weeks, AFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hinkley said of Georgiades, who is recovering from a hamstring strain, "Mitch will be fine. He's been an incredible part of our team all the way through the year ..." The 20 year's old return in the premiership semi-finals could prove instrumental, as should the need arise, his presence provides the Power with the opportunity to play four tall forwards at one time.

Orazio Fantasia
Four goals prior to substitution
Fantasia was subbed out of Friday's 86-43 qualifying win over Geelong after succumbing to a nagging knee injury, AFl.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fantasia converted a game-high four goals prior to going down in the final term of Friday's match, but according to Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley should "be fine" in two weeks as the Power seek to reach their first premiership decider since 2007.
