Adelaide v Port Adelaide Rd 20

Saturday, July 26 – 8.10 PM AEST – Venue: Adelaide Oval

Adelaide have everything to play for as they try to secure a top 4 finish and possibly top 2 to give them a home final to start proceedings. Port will bring their rivalry pressure and not make it easy at all for the Crows.

Connor Rozee will return for Port from a hand injury and Willie Rioli and Jeremy Finlayson may return after playing well in the SANFL last week.  

Adelaide kept the Suns goalless last week and will need to ensure they bring that intensity against Port. Their forward line of Riley Thilthorpe, Darcy Fogarty and Taylor Walker as well as Ben Keays and Isaac Rankine will be too strong for the Port defence and will get plenty of looks via Alex Neal-Bullen, Jake Soligo and the veteran Rory Laird, who keep racking up possessions.  

If Adelaide can get the crowd involved early, they should win with their potent forward line. 

Adelaide by 39 points
