Melbourne Demons vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
Melbourne and Port Adelaide will do battle in Darwin this Sunday afternoon.
The Dees remain premiership favourites despite lost their fourth game in six weeks against Geelong in round 17.
Many people believe Melbourne has the best midfield in the competition but they really struggles winning the contested football against the Cats.
When they did win clearances, their entries inside the forward 50 were poor which did not give their forwards the opportunity they needed to hurt on the scoreboard.
Port Adelaide has won three of their last four to keep their feint finals hopes alive although their poor percentage may end up costing them.
The Dees have won their last nine straight interstate games and they will bounce back in this one
