Austin and the Power struggled mightily, losing 78–20. By losing by 58 points, the Power set an AFL record margin of victory for a home loss.[16] Despite struggling in his first start, Austin started the remaining 2 games of the season for the Power, winning 48–37 at the Tampa Bay Storm,[17] and losing 61–43 to the Spokane Shock.[18]
