WITH so many players in red-hot form, Port Adelaide star Hamish Hartlett says his side is proving hard to stop.

Hartlett has traditionally put up with close attention from opposition sides and that has remained so in 2013, but unlike in years past the Power have a host of players in form and capable of picking up the slack.

Skipper Travis Boak, Kane Cornes, Brad Ebert, Justin Westhoff and Chad Wingard all join Hartlett in averaging more than 20 disposals a game this year.

The 22-year-old said the side's depth ensured its midfield was tough to contain.

"The last two weeks in particular I've had a little bit of attention which has been great, it gives us the ability to free up guys like 'Boaky' (Boak) and Brad (Ebert) and other guys that run through the midfield," Hartlett said.

"If we can have a multitude of guys that are playing really well through the midfield, it makes it difficult to try and shut us all down.

"If they come to me, I've got no worries with that, Boaky will have a great influence and vice versa."

Facing Gold Coast this weekend, Hartlett admitted there would be no stopping the man most likely to receive a tag, Suns captain Gary Ablett.

The best the Power could hope for, he said, would be to limit the 'Ablett effect' as much as possible.

"There might be a couple of things we do around stoppages to try and curtail his influence I suppose, but there's only so much you can do," he said.

"He's a super player so we try and minimise his influence as much as we can but we'll have to wait and see how he goes game day."

Hartlett, who will play his 50th game on Saturday night, predicted the match would hold extra rivalry in the coach's box, with Ken Hinkey and Matthew Primus plotting the downfall of their former sides.

Hinkley arrived at Alberton from Gold Coast, while ex-Power coach Primus took over Hinkley's vacated assistant position at the Suns in late 2012.

Harltett said that while the history of the pair might add spice to the contest from their perspectives, for the players it would be simply about building on an undefeated start to the year.

"For 'Matty' it's a great challenge for him and his group to come up against his old mob and the same goes for Ken as well," Hartlett said.

"I think, personally, for those guys it'll add a little bit more to the contest but for us it's about going about our business as usual and trying to get another win."
