Where and when: MCG, Saturday 17 April at 7:25pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 7, 2020: Port Adelaide 9.10(64) def Carlton 9.7 (61) at the GABBA.
This was one of the better games of the season with Robbie Gray kicking a goal after the siren to snatch the win. The Blues, lead by Cripps and Curnow, were gallant all day although they were perhaps a little lucky to hold the lead at the siren after poor misses by Dixon and Marshall late in the fourth quarter.
Match Preview: Port may have won last week but they lost a lot of good players in the process, none more important than the impressive Buttars. Traditionally the Blues have matched up well with Port and it would be no shock to see them sneak a win against the banged-up Power tonight.
Thommo’s Watch:
Port Adelaide
After being a disgruntled Houston owner last season, I reckon he is going to really annoy me today with a monster score!

With kozzie in my defence looks like:
LLoyd Ridley Laird Stewart Chapman Kozzie (Highmore Fyfe)
Is it worth waiting an extra week on lachie jones and just take kozzie this week. Or get Jones in, hes got good job security and kozzie is pretty close to a donut anyway
TU: Make trade this week kozzie out for jones
TD: Wait and see on jones and keep kozzie on field
