Port Adelaide Power vs St Kilda Saints Preview
AFL ladder leaders Port Adelaide Power added a victory-from-the-jaws-of-defeat effort to their stunning 6–1 season narrative last weekend. After leading Carlton at every change, the Power looked to have thrown it away in the final quarter – including a couple of butchered attempts at a late go-ahead goal.
But Robbie Gray stepped up to kick an unforgettable 45m matchwinning goal from near the boundary line after the siren. Coleman Medal co-leader Charlie Dixon kicked another three majors against the Blues.
St Kilda Saints clawed back to sixth with a 4–3 record, responding to a shocking collapse to the Dockers with a 23-point win over the battling Crows. The Saints kicked the last three goals of a hard-fought match at Adelaide Oval as Dan Butler (three goals) and Jack Steele (26 disposals) shone.
Port are on an eight-match winning streak against the Saints, whose last victory in the rivalry was way back in 2011. The Power slotted 22 majors in a 70-point rout in the historic Shanghai showdown last year.
The Saints remain unproven against quality teams and Port are on too much of a roll to fall and create an upset in this one.
