The prediction
Port Adelaide come into this one on the back of a dramatic 26-point defeat of city rivals the Adelaide Crows in their most recent outing, last weekend. They had succumbed to six defeats in their previous seven matches.
They now face a North Melbourne side that head into Round 17 of the AFL table as they sit tucked inside the top ten and the playoff places. The Victorians edged past a woeful Essendon side last week at Marvel Stadium.
North Melbourne have now won four of their last five, only losing to leaders Fremantle, and a high-scoring clash could be in store with both sides heading into it with a fair bit of confidence.
Port Adelaide vs North Melbourne tip: Over 175.5 points
