Port Adelaide vs West Coast Eagles Preview

The off-season hasn’t been kind to the Power, facing disappointment in the finals once again under Ken Hinkley’s leadership. Meanwhile, the Eagles are grappling with their own struggles after a dismal 2023 season.

Despite Harley Reid’s prominence in Western Australia media, his impact for the Eagles may be limited due to their underdeveloped roster.

Port Adelaide has bolstered their squad with acquisitions like Ivan Soldo and Esava Ratugolea, adding depth, while Brandon Zerk-Thatcher strengthens their defensive line.

For the Eagles, progress in 2024 hinges on building a sustainable system amid talent limitations.

While the Power typically excel in regular season matches, their postseason challenges persist. Their true test comes in September.

Expect the Power to dominate, especially at home. A halftime lead should be within reach for them.
