There is nothing more that Port wants than to put a dent in Adelaide’s premiership hopes, but that won’t happen even if the AFL gods are throwing a spanner in the works on Saturday.

A wet track is expected in Adelaide on Saturday night and that is the only thing keeping this match close in my opinion. A cold, wet and windy night is forecasted which will slow down the high flying Crows, but it will also have its effect on Port, who struggle in the best of conditions this season.

The Crows have dominated the Showdown over the last 3 seasons winning 4 of the last 5 against their cross town rival. That trend will continue but due to the weather I am picking the margin to stay under 40 points. Despite goals being slim, I like Izak Rankin to be a multi goalscorer in this match. Rankine loves the Showdown and has kicked 2.8 goals in his last 5 matches against Port.

On the other side of the ball, Zak Butters also plays his best against the Crows, with 30+ disposals in their last 4 clashes and an average of 35 possessions per game.

4 of the last 5 Crows wins against Port have been by a 1-39 margin.

Head to Head

The lead changed 8 times in the Power and Crows Round 9 clash, however the Crows held on after a late surge from Port to win Showdown 57 89-84.

The win this year was the Crows fourth in 5 matches against the Power, with the pair splitting the honours in 2024 with a victory each.

The previous 4 matches have gone under the game total.

In my opinion and that of many, the Adelaide Crows are a big chance of the premiership this season. They made a statement last week against the Suns, holding them goalless until midway through the third quarter., crushing them by 61 points and that was after taking their foot a little off the gas in the end.

The Crows have so many weapons and no matter how structured a defence is, you cannot contain their targets inside 50, especially when they are moving the ball so fast in transition.

Amount the plethora of top three statistic categories that the Crows have their name to, the one that stands out the most is that they lead the league in intercept marks (17.44/G) and connect that by being the league’s best in points from turnovers with 61.33 per game, which is 5 points more than any other club.

Adelaide can have the targets like Riley Thilthorpe, Darcy Fogarty and Taylor Walker causing mayhem while their backline holds firm and averages just 71.1 points against per game (2nd in AFL).

Although Port have been fighting hard to come over their midseason slump they still look out of sorts for long periods of their matches and are clearly not the side the Power fans would have hoped for in 2025.

Another 87-49 loss to the Hawks last week magnified that point. The score was locked at 40 midway through the third term against the Hawks and Port switched off, kicking just 9 more points while Hawthorn doubled their total winning the match 87-49.

The positive out of their match was the performance of Jordan Sweet who had a career-high18 contested possessions and a game-high 10 clearances along with 22 disposals.

Consistency has been the issue for Port who are now 3 wins out of the eight. Their inability to win the contested ball has hurt them, ranked 16th in the AFL with just 123 contested possessions per game.
