The prediction

The Power's finals hopes are fading, and this is a must-win game for them. Port Adelaide (11th) went down to a powerful Brisbane Lions side by 28 points, 120-92 in Round 17.

West Coast (18th, one win) endured another tough outing, losing to GWS by 59 points, 111-52.

Port Adelaide's dynamic midfielder Zak Butters was his side's best in their loss to the Lions, accumulating 31 disposals and 12 score involvements. West Coast skipper Liam Duggan led from the front against the Giants, finishing with a team-high 28 disposals.

Port Adelaide dominated the last encounter between these two sides in Round 1 2024, cruising to a 50-point victory (120-70). Port Adelaide has won four out of the last five encounters.

This should be a straightforward assignment for Port Adelaide at home. Expect them to be too strong across the ground for the rebuilding Eagles.
