Melbourne can rebound from a couple of recent losses with a win over Port Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.

The Demons went down to Collingwood by a solitary point on Kings Birthday, wasting some late chances to snatch the lead. That leaves them in 14th position on the ladder with a win-loss record of 5-8.

Port Adelaide are 5-7 but come off a win over the GWS Giants by 16 points. The loser of this match can all but kiss their remote finals hopes goodbye.

Melbourne can gain the ascendancy in the midfield in this match. They led the clearances, contested possessions and inside 50 count against the competition’s best, Collingwood last weekend. With Max Gawn, Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca in good form, the Demons can come away with a win. Take the Demons in the head to head. Gawn will be instrumental in the ruck again, while Kozzie Pickett can finish off up forward.

Melbourne were seven point winners against Port Adelaide the last time the two sides played at the Adelaide Oval.
