Preview:
A 47-point win over the Swans last week was enough to ensure the Power a spot back inside the eight, but Ken Hinkley’s squad can’t afford to take their finger off the pulse with two rounds remaining.
North Melbourne managed only 14-points during their trip to The Cattery last week, a new all-time low for a club that had shown so much pose under new head coach Rhyce Shaw the week prior.
The Power will head to Marvel full of confidence knowing they’ve won five straight over North dating back to 2015. Even so, they need to take this game seriously knowing the Roos haven’t lost at home in close to two months.
It appears even the bookies aren’t convinced on Port right now, especially with a 5-5 record as the favourite over the last 12-months.
Likewise, North has been equally poor going 3-10 as the underdog during the same time frame.
The Power are yet to string together three straight wins this season, while North are 5-6 on the back of a previous loss.
With all that in mind, you’re best off avoiding this one.
