Carlton vs Port Adelaide Preview

Carlton and Port Adelaide meet at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a clash between two sides enduring disappointing 2025 campaigns. The Power sit one win clear of the Blues at 8-13 after a narrow 92-86 defeat to Fremantle, while Carlton slipped to 7-14 following a 93-74 loss to Gold Coast at the same venue.

Port Adelaide dominated the reverse fixture in Round 16, cruising to a 110-60 win at Adelaide Oval. Zak Butters and Connor Rozee were prolific with 30 disposals apiece, while Mitch Georgiades booted five goals in a standout display. Replicating that performance will require overcoming their away-day woes — the Power have lost seven of nine matches on the road this season, with an average losing margin of 56.6 points.

For both clubs, pride is on the line as they look to close out the season on a positive note.
