PORT Adelaide coach Mark Williams admits the review process, set-up to help determine his future at the club, has been a “difficult” one for both parties.

Media reports suggest the Power’s coaching review committee has not put forward a recommendation on Williams’ contract.

Instead, various commentators have speculated the final decision could be made by the board of directors in a meeting on Monday night.

On Friday, Williams made reference to the late entertainer Michael Jackson when asked about the prospect of Sunday’s clash with Geelong being, potentially, his last at the helm of the Power.

“You never know. No one knew it was Michael Jackson’s last day today…so you take your opportunities when you can and do your best every time,” Williams said.

“All I’ve thought about is working really hard with the players and the coaching group to beat Geelong and that’s it. Footy’s a bit like that, you tend to work week by week and that’s as far as you go.”

The Power have lost four games this season by 50 points or more, including the 93-point loss to the Western Bulldogs in Darwin before the break.

Williams denied his future at the club hinged on a stronger showing against Geelong, but said he’d looked long at hard for the reasons behind his side’s capitulations in 2009.

“In different games there have been different goal sources [behind the big losing margins]. When Richmond nearly beat us, they kicked five goals from kick-outs, which is bizarre, but that hasn’t happened again,” he said.

“Others might’ve been because we got smashed at the stoppages, but then the next time we play we don’t. We’re finding different ways of losing, but they’re not consistent.

“There’s no doubt Geelong is an outstanding side and they can kick multiple goals very quickly, but there’s nothing tricky or innovative about us just working hard and being really tough and competitive.”
