Preview:
The AFL has saved the best for last this week as the fourth-place Lions head to Adelaide Oval to face the seventh-place Power.
This was once a bitter rivalry during Brisbane’s heyday, and it has since brought plenty of fireworks with the last two games being decided by no more than 20-points.
Brisbane won by 17-points over the Power back in Round 3, but you have to rewind all the way back to 2012 to find the Lions’ last win over Port in Adelaide.
The Power have largely been one of the more inconsistent sides this season, however their dominant win over the Crows in Showdown 47 last week highlighted how dangerous Port can be when they control the inside 50’s.
Brisbane has won back-to-back games on three separate occasions this year, but can they back up one huge performance on the road with another?
Port Adelaide has won four of its seven home games this year, but more importantly, the Power are 5-1 as the home favourite against Brisbane.
The Lions, on the other hand, are 3-2 as the away underdog at the line against the Power. If Eric Hipwood can replicate his six-goal performance against Port Adelaide earlier in the year, Brisbane should come close.
