Port Adelaide Power vs Adelaide Crows Preview
The 49th Showdown between Port and the Crows gets underway on Saturday under lights at the Adelaide Oval.
Both sides are looking to atone for blowout losses last week at the hands of the Lions and GWS respectively, but it appears the bookies are firmly in Port’s corner to win by a big margin.
In case you’ve lost count, the Power have won the last two showdowns by more than 50 points, while they’ve also been an outstanding bet on the back of a loss over the last 12 months playing to a 5-0 record.
The Crows are definitely a much tougher outfit than they were this time last year, but after last week’s complete no-show against the Lions at the Gabba, you have to believe Ken Hinkley will have his side fired up to make a statement this week.
Adelaide can feel a little better if Rory Sloane plays, but the absence of Tom Lynch still leaves them short up forward.
After a fast start to the season, you can sense the Crows are starting to come back to the pack a bit, so it’s likely this one gets ugly in a hurry.
