PORT ADELAIDE v HAWTHORN
Sunday 19 May @ Adelaide Oval
Two sides coming off excellent wins will hopefully make for a lovely Sunday offering.
Port could barely have done more when travelling down to the Cattery. Little expectation, off a shocking effort, without their captain and ruck stocks.
Yet they went ballistic after the siren started and only weakened the last bit. You have to take the view they gave so much early it told late.
Geelong didn't deserve to win it and the 'advantage' calls were a strange aftermath.
Hawthorn only nailed 8 goals but who cares when you are the outsider. Getting the win is the most important and they beat St Kilda at their own game.
The evolution of their style will occur but competitiveness is the most critical right now. Remember it was only 3 weeks ago that Sydney put 13 goals between them.
| Match | Port Adelaide | Hawthorn | Ground |

| Last 10 matches | 6 wins | 4 wins | |
| Notes | 5/2 to Port at the Adelaide Oval | ||
| Not many close game of late | |||
Easy to think Port just wins and they simply may do that. But credit Hawthorn for a game plan and a tough effort.
Had Sicily played they'd be there for a way. Now otherwise, it's Port to win and Horne-Francis to get the blood pumping.
Match Selection: Port Adelaide by 35 points
Suggested Bets: Jason Horne-Francis 2+ goals @ 2.85 @ bet365
