Carlton vs Port Adelaide Preview
Carlton and Port Adelaide face off at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a battle between two clubs looking to salvage pride from underwhelming 2025 campaigns. The Power hold a slight edge with an 8-13 record despite last week’s tight 92-86 loss to Fremantle, while the Blues slipped to 7-14 after falling 93-74 to Gold Coast at the same venue.
Their previous meeting in Round 16 was a one-sided affair, with Port dismantling Carlton 110-60 at Adelaide Oval. Zak Butters and Connor Rozee starred with 30 disposals each, while Mitch Georgiades shone up forward with five goals. Reproducing that dominance won’t be easy, though — the Power have struggled on the road, dropping seven of nine away games this year by an average of 56.6 points.
With finals out of reach, both teams will be desperate to finish the season on a high.
