Port Adelaide Power vs Melbourne Demons Preview
I wrote in last week’s preview that if Port lost to Adelaide in the Showdown, I’d never back them again this season.
Turns out they lost the Showdown with a kick after the siren, started the season 0-3 and now face the Demons on Thursday night.
One look at Port Adelaide’s draw and there’s every chance the Power starts the season 0-5.
I cannot possibly make a case for the Power to get their season on track by defeating reigning premiers Melbourne.
The Dees are $1.38 favourites, and quite frankly that’s generous.
It should be shorter.
Expect this game to have Port on the defence, but Melbourne to get the job done.
Take the Dees 1-39 points at the $2.10 offer – it’s solid.
