Port Adelaide Power vs Gold Coast Suns Preview
Port Adelaide continued on their winning ways in season 2023 but they had to do it the hard way against Essendon last week.
A Dan Houston after the siren goal secured their 13th win of the season and they have all but locked up a top two spot come September.
On the flip side, the Gold Coast Suns had a real opportunity against Collingwood at home last weekend, a test they failed miserably.
I’ve heard a lot of doom and gloom about the suns after the loss but there is no shame in losing to a team that is regarded by many as the benchmark.
It does however highlight just how far off the pace they are.
Finals football is a real opportunity and while many do not expect them to win this game of football, Stuart Dew and his men would love to be competitive for large portions of the game.
The Power have won six of their last seven games against the Suns by a margin of 25+ points but with plenty of rain forecast in Adelaide, this may be tighter than expected.
