It’s the halfway mark of the 2022 AFL season, and time for a report card on how your club is faring. First up, Carlton, Richmond, Essendon, St Kilda, Port Adelaide and GWS. AFL
After a horror five-match losing streak start to the season, Port Adelaide have won five of their last six games, although they have played the lowly Bombers, Eagles and Kangaroos in that span. Nevertheless, game plan adjustments to reduce corridor usage after the team’s disappointing start appear to be having an impact. The Power now hug the boundary line more often going forward, with solid wins against St Kilda in Cairns and the Bulldogs at home rewarding this change.
After years near the top of the competition, questions remain regarding their midfield’s ability to reach the next level, with an ageing Travis Boak and 2021 Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines below their best. Injuries have hurt and ruckman Scott Lycett and forward Orazio Fantasia will remain out for an extended period.
