The prediction

Port Adelaide (13th) is limping to the finish line after coming off a heavy 54-point defeat to Carlton last weekend. It will be the final game in a decorated career for both Coach Ken Hinkley and star Travis Boak.

The Gold Coast Suns (9th) stumbled at a crucial moment in Round 23, suffering a 35-point loss to fellow finals contenders GWS Giants.

Port Adelaide's retiring champion, Travis Boak, was one of his side's best in a heavy defeat to Carlton. In his final home game, the veteran gathered 23 disposals and kicked a goal.

Gold Coast Suns co-captain, Noah Anderson, has been instrumental in the Suns' rise this season. Even in their loss to the Giants, Anderson was a dominant force, collecting a team-high 32 disposals.

While Port Adelaide has historically dominated this fixture, the Suns won their most recent clash (96-82) in 2024. However, the Suns are winless in nine attempts at Adelaide Oval.

The Suns desperate need for a win to make history should be enough to overcome the emotion of the occasion, with one more game to go against the Bombers next Wednesday.
