1. Standing proudly
The Power have a proud association with the country's indigenous community, running education programs in remote areas through Australia's centre. It was fitting then to see three of the game's greatest indigenous players in Gavin Wanganeen, Byron Pickett and Nicky Winmar come together in the middle of the ground for the coin toss in a show of support of Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes. Each team then lined up and shook hands before the match in front of banners reading 'respect' and 'fairness'.

2. Second term sadness
The Saints could have easily hit the lead in the second term after controlling play and generating 18 inside 50s, but poor kicking in front of goal destroys even the best work around the ground. St Kilda booted five behinds before Jack Sinclair finally nailed a goal and despite finishing the term with 10 scoring shots to four, saw the Power increase their lead by a goal. It was a similar story in the third term, when the Saints were only able to score one goal from 11 inside 50s. Port booted another four and the game was over.

3. Wines' wings clipped
Port was left a midfielder down early against the Saints when Ollie Wines dislocated his left shoulder in the game's opening minutes. Wines collided with opponent David Armitage while trying to win possession and was unable to move his arm as he left the field. The 20-year-old tried to return to the field a few times but was subbed out for Sam Colquhoun at quarter-time. The dislocation can't have been too severe, given Wines was allowed to try to play, but with just five games remaining it could spell the end of his season.

4. Wingard keeps flying
Chad Wingard continued his stunning run of form on Sunday, raising his arm higher still for All Australian selection. The Power's mercurial small forward kicked three goals in the opening half, making it eight games straight that he's booted at least three majors. The 22-year-old is, statistically, performing as well as he did in 2013, when he gained All Australian honours and took out Port's best and fairest. He booted another major in the final term to make it four for the match, ensuring his streak continued.

5. Dream alive?
The ask is still tremendous for the Power to make the eight - they might have to win each of their remaining five games. Included in the club's run home are trips to Melbourne to take on Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs as well as a home game against Fremantle. But Sunday's 63-point win keeps the flame of hope flickering and draws Port level with Collingwood on points. It will enter round 19 a win-and-a-half off eighth-placed Geelong and with a healthy percentage it could just pose a few sides some issues yet.
