Preview

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

However, despite West Cost’s inconsistent form and Port’s home ground advantage, the Eagles have every chance of causing an upset.

West Coast’s poor record away from home is well documented, particularly when travelling to Melbourne. But Adam Simpson’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 missing Josh Kennedy on that day, as Charlie Dixon booted five goals up the other end for Port, while Brad Ebert (31 disposals) and Ollie Wines (28 disposals) led all comers in the midfield.

Meanwhile, Mark LeCras and Jack Darling both kicked four goals in Kennedy’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
