AFL Preview: Power v Suns

Port Adelaide v Gold Coast
Saturday 7:40pm at Adelaide Oval

A chance of fourth spot – and in a ding dong battle for fifth spot with Sydney – Port Adelaide will be out with all guns blazing against a Gold Coast long gone from the competition.

FormPort Adelaide are fifth on the ladder with a 13-8 record. The Power rank second in scoring and third in defence. The Power have won five of their last seven and have won nine straight against teams outside the Top 8. Port have conceded fewer than 80 points in six of their last nine.

Gold Coast have endured a miserable year with a 6-15 record and a 16^th-placed finish on the AFL ladder. The Suns have lost seven on end with just two of those defeats inside of four goals. Gold Coast rank 16^th in both scoring and defence.
