Port Adelaide will cruise to a comfortable victory against West Coast in AFL Round 18.

The Power have dominated this matchup in recent years, winning the last three meetings by an average of 55 points — all at this venue. A similar margin is on the cards.

The Power are all but out of finals contention and are in 10th place with a win-loss record of 7-9. They come off a 28-point loss over Brisbane at the GABBA.

West Coast are in a deep slump, having lost their past six and have failed kick more than 60 points in their past four matches. With key forwards like Allen and Waterman sidelined, they lack firepower.

Expect the Eagles to be overwhelmed in key statistical areas, including disposals, clearances and inside 50s. Connor Rozee, Zak Butters, and Mitch Georgiades are all flying at the moment and are in the mix for player props.

Even with a few injury setbacks, Port’s midfield class and improved scoring power give them a clear edge and they will cruise to a big win.

• Port Adelaide have won the past three matches between the two sides by an average margin of 55 points
• Connor Rozee has had 30+ disposals in three of his past four matches.
• Mitch Georgiades booted four goals against the Lions last weekend and has kicked 17 in his past four matches.
• The Eagles have scored less than 60 points per game in their past four matches.
