Hawthorn Hawks vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
The Hawks have been much better since the bye and if this contest with the Power was at the MCG you could mount a case, but at Marvel Stadium The Wolf expects Port Adelaide to be too good.
The Power have moved into the top-four with a win over the Swans, bit it’s their record against bottom ten teams which is the reason I’ll be going with them again. Port Adelaide is 8-0 against the bottom ten and have covered the line in seven of those wins.
The Hawks have covered the line in their two recent wins against the Swans and Giants – underdogs in both, but you have to go back to Round 3 to find the last time they covered the line in a loss.
Port Adelaide is ranked second for points against since Round 7 and The Wolf expects them to making scoring difficult for the Hawks, maintaining their perfect run against bottom ten teams and covering the 19.5 line.
