Port Adelaide Power vs Geelong Cats Preview
Eight wins in a row has the Cats sitting atop the AFL ladder through 18 rounds of football and they seem to be peaking at the right time of year.
Wins over Melbourne and Carlton in successive weeks have plenty bullish that the Cats can win their first premiership since 2011.
The experienced brigade of Selwood, Hawkins, Duncan, Guthrie and co have been consistent like they always are but it is the next generation that has taken the next step that has been so impressive.
Brad Close, Tom Atkins, Max Homes, Tyson Stengle and Sam De Koning have been instrumental in the success of the Cats and if they keep improving, they will be a force late in September.
Port Adelaide’s season hangs by a thread having lost two of their last three especially considering their poor percentage.
They were far from disgraced against the defending premiers Melbourne in Alice Springs last weekend going down by 14 points and they have won their last six straight at the Adelaide Oval.
Again, not confident with head to head or line betting but have put together a Same Game Multi.
