Port Adelaide vs Hawthorn Hawks Preview
All eyes are on Friday night’s Semi-Final as the Power face the threat of back-to-back exits in straight sets. Their 84-point loss to the Cats exposed their mindset struggles come finals time, and now they meet a red-hot Hawks team.
Hawthorn’s fast-flowing offence dismantled the Dogs after quarter time, showcasing their ability to handle pressure. They also have a score to settle after their 41-point lead slipped away against Port at Adelaide Oval in Round 10.
The Power’s poor one-on-one defence was exploited by the Cats, who scored 38 times from 57 entries. The Hawks could be even more dangerous with their forward press, though their goal-kicking can seem unpredictable.
Port Adelaide relies on midfielders hitting the scoreboard, but their efficiency was stifled last week. Without Sam Frost, the Hawks’ defence has a gap, but Port must capitalise strategically.
The Hawks have a golden opportunity, and the Power will need to regroup fast to avoid another finals disappointment.
