When: 19:50 | Friday 22/06/2018
Where: Adelaide Oval
Preview:
This should be a great game with both sides set to play attacking, high scoring footy.
Provided the conditions are good, this should be a highly entertaining match.
Jack Watts was sent back to the SANFL and I think it was good timing to send him back where he performed well.
I’d bring him back in to play his old side this week.
Demons looking to bounce back after their last start defeat to Collingwood and I think they’ll respond strongly and fresh off the bye they should be hungry to get another win away from home.
KEY BATTLE: Paddy Ryder v Max Gawn
Gawn is the best ruckman in the game and poses a huge threat to Port.
Ryder is also having a strong year.
The Verdict
I’m tipping Port in a tight one.

AFL News:
Star midfielder Ollie Wines is a hot chance to become Port Adelaide’s next captain after re-signing with the AFL club on a four-year deal.
Wines was coming out of contract at the end of this season, and would have attracted big offers from clubs in his home state of Victoria.
He would have also been eligible for free agency at the end of 2020.
But the 23-year-old is so confident in the direction Port Adelaide are heading that he has signed on until the end of 2022.
Travis Boak is the current captain of Port Adelaide, but the soon-to-be 30-year-old could relinquish that post by the end of the year.
Wines, who has played 119 games for the club and was named vice-captain at the end of 2016, is a strong chance to take over the head role when Boak steps down.
Port Adelaide loaded up on experience at the end of last season, and currently sit seventh on the ladder with an 8-4 record.
Wines has played a key role in Port’s strong form, averaging 27 disposals and 6.7 clearances a game.
