The bye can do remarkable things, especially for a Premiership hangover, but it is just hard to see the Pies coming out of their slump after such a poor performance in four of their first five games of the year. Collingwood lack energy and their execution is off and I am beginning to wonder if all of their narrow escapes in the finals were a good run of luck which has now turned.
Port on the other side of things, have started the season with poise and have had no problem putting away lesser teams and showed last week against Freo that they have what it takes to hang in games and showed some clutch fourth-quarter play to get a slim victory.
The Power like to play the game inside their opponents 50 and this is where the mismatch is this game which will be the demise of the Pies who have not been giving themselves the opportunities in their opponents back-third.
If Port have their way, they are going to spend a lot of time inside 50 and will reap the rewards, racking a good, chunky score against the Mapies this week and will go on to win as a $2.05 underdog away from home. If the narrative is correct then we will also see the Power surpass their team total of 81.5 points in the game.
- Collingwood has lost both games they have payed at the MCG this season.
- Port Adelaide lead the league with an average of 61 inside 50s per game.
- Collingwood are the third-worst team in the AFL with just 47.8 inside 50s per game
Head to Head
Collingwood have won the last 3 matches against Port that stretch over last year and the 2022 season. However, the Power had previously won the three matches prior so the teams are locked at 3-3 since the 2020 season.

The bye could have been the best thing that happened to Collingwood after a horrendous start to their title defence. They got themselves out of trouble with a couple of wins before the week off, but they put in an awful performance in their five-point win against Hawthorn in round 4, after looking better in the Grand Final rematch against Brisbane the week earlier.
If you are playing the game outside your attacking 50 or not get quality ball in the area you are going to struggle and that is how things are going for the Pies. They are second-worst in the league with an average of just 9.4 marks per game inside 50 and averaging just 47.8 balls in the area per game, which is third-worst in the AFL.

Port have started the season well, currently sitting third on the ladder with four wins from their opening five matches after getting a grinding victory over Fremantle in round 5, 66-63.
The Dockers strangled the Power for most of the night with the league’s best defence giving nothing away for free, but Port hung in there not letting Freo get away themselves, despite leading for most of the match. Charlie Dixon and Jason Horne-Francis kicked a couple of clutch goals at the death, winning it for the Power.
The key for Port has been getting the ball inside 50 and keeping it there until the chances pop up, leading the league with an average of 61 inside 50s per game and 16 marks per game in the area, which uncoincidentally has them topping the AFL clearly with a 53.1% shooting efficiency.
