1. Jonas in trouble after late, high hit
Power defender Tom Jonas appears certain to receive a significant ban after his hit on opponent Andrew Gaff left the Eagle unconscious and unresponsive in the third term. Gaff backed back with the flight of the ball into the Eagles' attacking 50 and took a strong mark before Jonas struck him hard in the back of the head with his forearm. While Gaff lay prone on the ground with trainers by his side, an all-in brawl broke out around him. The Eagle's teammates were clearly furious at Jonas and let him know about it. The two teams separated into individual huddles, Gaff was fitted with a neck brace and stretchered down into West Coast's rooms. He later emerged from the rooms with a smile, much to the Eagles' relief. Robbie Gray is also a chance of being ruled ineligible after being reported a third time for a low-level offence – this time, a trip on Mark LeCras. 

2. A duck broken
Prior to Saturday, the Eagles hadn't won away from home since defeating Collingwood in round 16 last year. They'd returned from six unsuccessful road trips since, but finally broke their hoodoo against the Power. They were made to work hard by the Power, who fought hard to move within striking range late in the final term. The win puts the Eagles within touching distance of the top four and with their losing streak away from Domain Stadium snapped, they're well placed for an assault on the double chance through the middle part of season 2016.

3. The brutal beginning
The game was barely 10 seconds old when Eagle Shannon Hurn cannoned into Power skipper Travis Boak front on. It was a fair hit, but Boak was left reeling on the turf and remained there for a good 30 seconds. Hurn was again involved when Hamish Hartlett was crunched in a fierce tackle; Hartlett was forced down into the rooms to have his right shoulder strapped. Minutes later Hartlett's teammate Aaron Young laid Chris Masten out flat with another legal yet shuddering bump. 

4. Kennedy catches fire... again
The reigning Coleman medallist arrived in Adelaide about a day later than his West Coast teammates, staying by his pregnant partner's side in case she gave birth to the pair's first child. He boarded a flight on Friday night as opposed to Thursday night but the late arrival didn't appear to disrupt his preparation; Kennedy booted three opening-term goals, had five by half-time and finished with seven to go with his 15 possessions. The haul follows his five majors last week against St Kilda and draws him to within five of Sydney Swans star Lance Franklin (37). 

5. A powerful celebration
Port Adelaide is known around the country for their indigenous community programs but their celebration of indigenous culture was taken to a new level on Saturday. Hundreds of participants in the club's Aboriginal Power Cup program lined Adelaide Oval's centre square and danced their way to form the outline of the Aboriginal flag, before Archie Roach sang 'Took The Children Away'. The Power were then led out onto the ground by Port Adelaide Magpies player Robbie Young and several members of the Aboriginal Power Cup program to a rendition of the Power's club song sung in Pitjantjatjara. It's not Indigenous Round, but the Power's display showcased the nature in which Australia and its game should embrace its first peoples year-round.
