The prediction
Port Adelaide come into this one on the back of 97-point demolition at the hands of a strong and in-form Sydney Swans side last week. That means that the South Australians have now endured five successive defeats.
Melbourne, on the other hand, sit comfortably tucked inside the top ten and the play-off places. The Victorians are seeking to finish the regular season with a flourish, having overcome runaway leaders Fremantle in a dramatic contest last week.
Melbourne will take immense confidence from that one against Freo and they should get another victory here to extend Port Adelaide’s losing streak.
