Adelaide Crows vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
Showdown 50 promises to be a spectacle on Saturday night as the Crows and Port meet for the second time this year.
The season was over a long time ago for Adelaide, but this is still a vitally important game for the Power as they look to cement their top four spot with three games remaining.
Port walked away with a comfortable 49-point win when these two sides met back in Round 8 as Travis Boak, Robbie Gray and Ollie Wines proved too much for Adelaide to handle.
The Crows have battled through injury to win only three games since, while their performance last week against the Dogs last week was forgettable at best.
Port, on the other hand, will be riding the momentum of a big win over GWS that saw Ken Hinkley’s men dominate through the midfield on their way to a strong four-goal final quarter.
Preventing goals has been a real problem recently for the Crows, particularly against this Port Adelaide side.
The last three Showdown’s have all gone in the favour of Port by more than 40 points, and with the Crows still battered and bruised, another blowout looks likely.
