Port Adelaide<\/a>'s Aliir Aliir<\/a> is determined to return to the field after having a week off due to concussion<\/a>, and has told 9News he is optimistic about the team's chances against Geelong on Friday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aliir said he believed the Power could turn things around and secure their first win at Kardinia Park since 2006, despite the 30-point loss to Adelaide on Thursday.<\/p>\n

"I think potentially went into our shells a little bit when the going got tough," Power Assistant Coach Tyson Goldsack reflected today.<\/p>\n

"We just want to believe that the footy that we've been training for so long stacks up, and at the moment, we're at a little bit of a stalemate."<\/p>\n

Goldsack said the team believed its process was right.<\/p>\n

"Are we taking it into the games and actually executing it in the games? We are at training, because at training, it works, but there's no pressure," he said.<\/p>\n

"It's almost unjust that it hasn't transferred into the games considering how much focus they've put on it."<\/p>\n

Aliir is set to clear concussion protocols on Wednesday after missing the Showdown.<\/p>\n

"It is frustrating, the older I get I can't sit still and watch a game," he said.<\/p>\n

"But everything's tracking very well to play this weekend."\u00a0<\/p>\n

He said he wouldn't "play a blame game" when asked about his team's latest loss.<\/p>\n

"We're a team and there's areas that let us down, so I think if we can get our slot selection right and give them a better angle then hopefully they'll be able to convert those goals," he said.<\/p>\n
