GWS Giants vs Port Adelaide Preview
Easily the most intriguing game in terms of shaping the eight, both sides are on fraud watch with quite poor results in recent weeks.
Neither side is convincing us of where they sit, but history says Giants are more likely to turn things around compared to the Power who have had stage fright for the past four years.
Top four is still on the cards for both, but a loss for the Giants starts to see those hopes slip away very quickly.
For all of Ports inability to win big games, they do perform on the road as underdogs, and theyre a side who prefer little pressure.
GWS will best expose Port Adelaide with their defensive accountability, and if their small forwards are able to set up well at the drop of the ball theyll get good opportunities.
The Power will come in fresh off the break and certainly feel revitalised with a secure gameplan to attack the game with.
GWS have struggled to dominate with their ball use and have been restricted well when reduced to uncontested slow ball movement in transition.
The midfield battle will be quite intriguing, and the natural dominance of Ports speedy mids do present a difficult task for the Giants backline who have struggled in recent weeks against taller opponents.
Both sides are top two for marks inside 50 per game, so defensive efficiency will win you this contest, or on the other hand the ability to lower your eyes with poise better than the other.
The Giants rhythm is still off and with the Power coming off a bye, there could be an upset brewing here.
