North Melbourne Kangaroos vs Port Adelaide Power Preview
This game has blow-out written all over it. North served up one of the worst performances of season 2020 against the Suns on Sunday night, downed by 10 goals. Their issues are compounded with the longest injury list in the competition, and they may even rush back Jack Ziebell who has played just once since Round 4. Perhaps the only solace they’ll take heading into this clash is that the last they played the Power, Rhyce Shaw’s side walked away 86-point victors.
Port Adelaide are coming off a seven-day break (a rarity in 2020) and will eye this clash as a chance to boost their percentage. A big win here could go a long way to sealing the minor premiership, a market they’re currently $2.40 favourites in with Palmerbet. Ken Hinkley could welcome back Mitch Georgiades after a hamstring issue, subject to a final test on Friday.
