Carlton Blues vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
A rare trip for Port Adelaide to the MCG to face Carlton this Saturday night.
Port will want to make the most of this trip if they want to feature at the business end of the season – Kochie can whinge about VIC BIAS all he wants but if the Power want to win a premiership, having a good hitout at the home of football would do them a world of good.
Their two-point win over Richmond last week also did the Power a world of good, managing to hold on from a rampant Tiger outfit making a comeback.
Carlton will be happy to take the 11-point win over the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium last week. It is better to win ugly than an honourable loss, of which the Blues have been maters of in recent times.
It was Robbie Gray after the siren who broke Carlton hearts when these two sides met at the Gabba in Round 7 of last year.
Will we be in for another thrilling finish this Saturday night?
You’d love to see it, but I’ll take the Power 1-39 points for good measure and more importantly, value.
