Port Adelaide Power vs Melbourne Demons Preview

Port Adelaide will host Melbourne at Adelaide Oval in what should be a Thursday night thriller.

These are two of the better sides in the competition so hopefully this game lives up to my lofty expectations.

Melbourne’s only real weakness is their forward line and it’s really been exposed in recent weeks.

Tough game to pick but given Melbourne’s forward struggles and this game being played in Adelaide, I’ll stick with Port Adelaide.

Market Update: Port Adelaide have shortened in betting this week and it will see them go into this game as the clear favourites.

Port touched $1.90 during the week, they’ve since been backed into $1.74. Melbourne do look to be decent value now at $2.10 after opening at $2.04.
