Preview

Not many people are giving the Eagles much of a chance after just managing to scrape into the finals.

However, despite West Costโ€™s inconsistent form and Portโ€™s home ground advantage, the Eagles have every chance of causing an upset.

West Coastโ€™s poor record away from home is well documented, particularly when travelling to Melbourne. Butย Adam Simpsonโ€™s side has a brilliant record at Adelaide Oval. They have won five of six games at the venue and are yet to lose to the Power in three meetings there.

The last time the two sides met was in round 16 at Domain Stadium, with the Power running away 32-point winners.

The Eagles were missingย Josh Kennedyย on that day, asย Charlie Dixonย booted five goals up the other end for Port, whileย Brad Ebertย (31 disposals) andย Ollie Winesย (28 disposals) led all comers in the midfield.

Meanwhile,ย Mark LeCrasย andย Jack Darlingย both kicked four goals in Kennedyโ€™s absence.

Port won its final three games of the home and away season and go into the finals with plenty of momentum and should get over the line.

Tip: Port Adelaide by 13
