Travis Boak wound back the clock and Shai Bolton sizzled, while Esava Ratugolea and Jacob Koschitzke had moments they would prefer to forget in an evenly-contested first quarter at Adelaide Oval.
Bolton shrugged off attempted tackles from Miles Bergman, Willem Drew and Logan Evans to set up a goal to Koschitzke.

Boak, who turns 36 next month, racked up 10 disposals, including a superb 50m goal off a step, before Port Adelaide and Richmond traded six-pointers through basic opposition error.
Koschitzke’s silly decision to punch Nathan Broad’s out-on-the-full rebound into the crowd resulted in a 50m penalty and a goal to Logan Evans, before Ratugolea’s slack backwards chip was cut off by Rhyan Mansell, who goaled.
The Tigers’ early territory advantage neutralised the Power’s clearance ascendancy, piloted by captain Connor Rozee.
Tigers 27, Power 26 early in Q2.
