AN inspired performance from captain Travis Boak against Melbourne was rewarded by the coaches with 9 votes in the AFLCA Award.

Boak willed his team over the line after a slow start in Alice Springs and was instrumental in the Power’s seven-goal second term.

Boak had 31 disposals – 18 contested – 8 clearances and 5 tackles in a hard-working performance, which was lauded by coach Ken Hinkley after the game.

"Our captain took control. I was really proud of Travis," Hinkley said in his post-match press conference.

"He went to (Melbourne captain) Nathan Jones who'd had 11 (disposals) in the first quarter.

"It was captain against captain and we said to him 'let's see if you can push your team over the line.'"

Robbie Gray’s excellent form continued with the dynamic midfielder polling for the fifth time in his eight games so far in 2015.

Gray was vital around stoppages with 8 clearances and had a hand in three goals, as well as kicking a goal himself.

Brad Ebert (7 votes), Angus Monfries (3) and Ollie Wines (2) rounded out the Power’s vote-getters against the Demons.
