Port Adelaide vs Western Bulldogs Preview

The Power holds their top-eight spot after a close win against the Saints, but they face a tough challenge this week against the Dogs. The Dogs have found good form for the first time this year but have shown they can falter with a bad loss, making this game crucial.

Last weekend, the Dogs handled the Roos, but to make a statement in 2024, they need consistent efforts like their performance against Freo. Port Adelaide has struggled with contested play and predictable defensive transitions, needing to boost their forward half production, especially at home.

The Dogs’ edge lies in their midfield’s scoring power. They are stronger when their midfielders impact the scoreboard, which will be key to their victory. With a tough schedule ahead, a win on the road against the Power is essential for the Dogs to prove their worth in the top eight.
