PORT ADELAIDE v BRISBANE
Saturday 22 June @ Adelaide Oval
The classic 8 point game pits two old adversaries. They were seemingly always atop the ladder to begin the early 2000s and also the early 2020s.
And the winner here will either re-affirm their position or confirm the comeback is on.
Port has to be disappointed even though still just in the Top 8. Losing poorly to Carlton they had a point to prove in Sydney but lost the same way.
Butters got tagged very well and there was no resilience to help from his team mates. It left Rozee vulnerable as he comes back and 14 disposals isn't enough to impact.
Strangely the Lions were expected to win at home and did in the end. But it even got tight late with a St Kilda come back.
When Lachie Neale is well held bad things happen. It almost did for Brisbane.
| Match | Port Adelaide | Brisbane | Ground |
| Last time they met | 11.9 [75] | 19.19 [123] | Gabba |
| Last 10 matches | 4 wins | 6 wins | |
| Notes | Brisbane thrashed Port in the 2023 Qualifying Final by 48 points | ||
| Last 6 clashes, only 1 has been inside a 6 goal margin | |||
Once more this year the tagger struck and if Port has any desires it has to go after Neale. Same goes for Brisbane with Butters. It is a tagging conundrum.
Given their overall poor record in Adelaide, thinking the Lions are susceptible and can be beaten. That Adelaide draw in Rd 9 doesn't look good form now.
Match Selection: Port Adelaide by 4 points
Suggested Bets: Port Adelaide 1-39 @ $2.33 @ bet365
