Preview:
The Kangaroos had a night to forget in Geelong, recording the lowest score in club history, just 14 points in a 55-point loss to the Cats. A week is a long time in footy and they’ll have the chance to bounce back and deal Port’s finals chances a big blow with a win at Marvel Stadium.
The Power have come to life in the past fortnight, with big wins against the Dons and Swans seeing them jump into the top eight. A win against North will go a long way to guaranteeing September action for them, with a home game against Freo next weekend.
North is 7-3 against the spread at Marvel Stadium, where they have won six of their eight games in 2019. The Power are 8-12 on the line this season and 1-1 at Marvel Stadium in two visits.
The Wolf sees this one as being a shootout under the roof and the Power are offering some great value as narrow favourites.
