North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
A spot in the top four is up for grabs this week should Port continue on their winning ways.
The Power made it five on the trot with a come-from-behind victory over Essendon last Sunday, Connor Rozee leading the way with 29 touches and Junior Rioli creating plenty of havoc up forward in the final term.
Ken Hinkley now sets his sights on the out-of-sorts Kangaroos in Hobart, a team that has fallen off a cliff since starting the season 2-0 under Alastair Clarkson.
For the second week in a row North managed to put up less than 50 points, kicking just 4.10 in Sunday’s low-scoring, tough-to-watch affair against St Kilda.
Down back, the Roos are a shambles, and that might be just what the doctor ordered for a Port team that has really struggled to hit the mark in front of goal.
So far, the Power hold the fifth-worst goal-kicking percentage on the season, in large part due to Rioli’s struggles in front of the sticks as well as Mitch Georgiades and Jeremy Finlayson.
Fortunately, the Roos are conceding over 14 goals a game to opponents on the year, setting up what could be another one-sided affair.
