North Melbourne vs Port Adelaide Preview
The Power are lucky to be heading into this clash two wins on the trot after their miraculous 41-point comeback against the Hawks last Sunday afternoon.
The Roos are 10 in a row, for all the wrong reasons, and whilst they produced a spirited effort against the Bombers, theres still no sign of a four-quarter performance.
Back in Tassie again, its some form of added familiarity for North Melbourne, but their recent outing against the Crows proved its not as advantageous as it should be.
The Power were exposed with their lack of contest fundamentals and inability to dig in for the second pressure acts at the stoppages, where the Hawks were first to it.
If the Roos are any chance, they need to elevate their pressure game and at least do their best to create a spoil or stoppage at most inside 50 entries.
If Nick Larkey can have the same fortune as Blake Hardwick had against the Power, its something for the Roos to hang on to as a plan of attack.
But as proved in the Powers late surge, the class is overwhelming, and it only takes them a quarter against bottom-half sides to win the game.
