We'll endeavour to run through the form, incorporate appropriate stats and also supply a betting prediction which won't always just be who will win.


PORT ADELAIDE v FREMANTLE

Saturday 13 April @ Adelaide Oval

The psychology of the opponents this week is likely so very divergent as Port and Freo play again at the Adelaide Oval.

The Power had a lot of expectation with the Friday Night lights of Gather Round and after a tight, early battle it was an obliteration.

When your rival scores 6 goals, you are thinking good thoughts. 17 of your own are even better.

It was like Rozee, Butters and Horne-Francis thought we are playing on the big stage – let's show off our best and they had massive matches. Rozee 'probably' got the Brownlow votes with 36 & 3 (ya think)?

While they were excited with their result, Fremantle were filthy.

They likely gave away the points with the way they played but then also had the late dramas just compound that.

In front before the late goal, it was added to by the free kick for dissent. Whether they needed to console themselves about its fairness, they simply must score more.

When away from Perth, they don't kick enough and even at home they can be shaky. No wonder they are threatening to chase big forwards with a war chest.

Often an even matchup between these, but you have to think the goal scoring potential up front and from the middle will give Port Adelaide more options and the winning score.

Match Selection: Port Adelaide by 30 points

Suggested Bets: Port Adelaide 1-39 @ $2.00 @ bet365
