Match Preview
Port Adelaide hosts Hawthorn at AAMI Stadium on Saturday afternoon with some confidence after their physical win over cross town rival Adelaide. The Hawks too look ominous and have been backed in at $9 to win this year’s flag.
Port dealt a major blow to Adelaide’s finals chances with a spirited 19 point win to hand stand in Coach Matthew Primus his first win. The Power held off a strong finishing Adelaide to record their fifth win of the season so far. With skipper Warren Tredrea set to announce his retirement the Power will want to honour their most successful player however they will have to come of their round ten defeat against the Hawks to do so. In their last five games at AAMI Stadium the Power have dominated winning four by a staggering average of 78 points.
Hawthorn dealt their top four chances a major blow conceding a seven point lead with just minutes remaining to record a thrilling draw. It was however a costly interchange mistake that ultimately cost the Hawks the four points Lance Franklin kicked five for the Hawks but he also gave away four fifty metre penalties, an area the Hawks need to be more disciplined in.
Conclusion
Despite a terrible record at AAMI Stadium you would expect the Hawks to win, they have been terrific in the second half of this season loosing just one game but importantly the addition of Shaun Burgoyne in the midfield gives them added depth, something they were lacking last season.
