Preview:
The stakes are high ahead of Showdown 47 with the Crows vying for a spot inside the top four, the Power hoping to rejoin the eight, and a slim 6.5-point line set for the occasion.
Both sides lost comfortably last week, but it was Port’s home loss to the Bulldogs that really caught fans off guard.
The Power managed only 41-points in horrendous conditions at Adelaide Oval, a game head coach Ken Hinkley would like to have back.
Port continues to flirt with the top eight, but they now find themselves in a standoff with the 10th place Bombers tied on points.
As for the Crows, nobody really expected Adelaide to prevail at the Cattery. Early on the Crows looked a chance at pulling off the upset, but in the end, Geelong’s eight goal second half sealed the deal.
If Saturday’s game is anything like their Round 8 showdown, we should be in for a real treat.
The Crows dominated for much of the game in their 20-point victory, while inaccuracy in front of goal – or should we say, 14 behinds – cost the Power any chance at winning.
Port have since tidied up in front of the sticks to rank eighth in total goals scored however, one spot behind the Crows. The Power, like they have for most of the season, also lead the league in inside ’50s.
Both sides are 2-2 on the back of a loss this season, but there is one stat separating the two: the second half.
The Crows have won the second half battle eight times this season, compared to the Power, who have won only four.
Considering the last three games between these sides have been decided by 1-39 points, a clutch performance in the second half should mean the difference between winning and losing.
