P\ufeffort Adelaide<\/a> has taken home a 69-point victory over Essendon<\/a> on Friday night, but it may come at a cost, with a star veteran subbed out.<\/p>\n

Power games record holder Travis Boak<\/a> left Adelaide Oval in agony during the second quarter, after Bomber Jake Kelly landed on his back while attempting a tackle.<\/p>\n

He was assessed by club physios before being taken down to the rooms, where he was then removed from the rest of the match.<\/p>\n

\ufeffBefore he was subbed off, Port coach Ken Hinkley remained positive on the 352-gamer's condition.<\/p>\n

"He just hurt his back a little…I'm pretty optimistic he'll come back," Hinkley said on 7 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Apart from the dampener on the injury front, the Power charged home to their third win of the year, after dropping a key home game against Melbourne last week.\ufeff<\/p>\n

For the Bombers, their night went from bad to worse with confirmation that youngster Archie Perkins, who was subbed off in the final term, had suffered a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

It came after the club received another heartbreaking blow before the Gather Round match, with injured defender Jordan Ridley suffering a quad setback that may rule him out for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

For the Power, Connor Rozee (36 disposals, three goals) and Jason Horne-Francis (31 disposals) dominated,\ufeff while Darcy Byrne-Jones and Jeremy Finlayson booted three goals each.<\/p>\n

Rozee and Horne-Francis shared 15 clearances in the win.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It was nice to put together four quarters, I see some guys growing in confidence\ufeff," Rozee said post-match on 7.<\/p>\n

"We're letting players just utilise their strengths," Horne-Francis added.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Mitch Georgiades also made a solid return from his ACL injury that ruled him out of the 2023 season, booting two goals in game 50\ufeff.<\/p>\n

\"Captain<\/p>\n

It was his first game in 349 days.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"It's extremely challenging and there's a lot of bumps along the way. But it's rewarding in its own way," Georgiades said on 7 post-win.<\/p>\n

"The last five months I've been on fire, so I can't wait to keep on going."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
