Port Adelaide v Hawthorn Preview, Adelaide Oval

One of the great wins in Ken Hinkley’s tenure last week. Port ended their hoodoo at Geelong
with a rousing win against the Cats. The win came from a superb midfield effort, even
without captain Connor Rozee, and a forward line functioning better than it has in a big game
for a long time. Port blitzed the Hawks in the corresponding match last season, pushing the
margin towards almost 100 points early in the third quarter. After a disappointing
performance against Sydney three weeks ago, the Hawks have hit back with two vital
victories to lift confidence under coach Sam Mitchell.

TIP: Port Adelaide by 27 points, Zak Butters to have 30 or more possessions
