Port Adelaide v North Melbourne
Saturday, Adelaide Oval, 1.40pm ACST
Port Adelaide definitely bounced back with a vengeance this year, after missing the finals the past two seasons.
But the one big knock on Ken Hinkley's team this season is that they might in fact be flat track bullies. Up until last week, the Power had not yet beaten a side inside the top eight this season. However, that changed in Round 16, with a crucial win over West Coast at Domain Stadium catapulting them back inside the top four.
Back on their home deck this week and up against the struggling Kangaroos, the Power should consolidate their spot in the top four and record a comfortable win.
Interestingly, this is the first clash between the two sides at Adelaide Oval. However, North has lost all four games it has played against Adelaide at the venue.
