ADELAIDE v PORT ADELAIDE

Saturday 26 July @ Adelaide Oval

What a game this usually is and yet it might not have the same pizzazz in 2025.

If anything it might have a bit to do with the coach of the Power at the end.

Adelaide has not only cemented itself in the Top 4, they are coming with a rush and could end up top.

The forward line has so many variables, the midfield depth improving and such a talented but somewhat nameless defence.

An Adelaide Oval Prelim would take them a long way to the MCG.

Match Adelaide Port Adelaide Ground
Last time they met     13.11 [89] 12.12 [84] Adelaide Oval
Last 10 matches 5 wins 5 wins  
Notes Overall record is 29/28 to Adelaide.
Adelaide has won 4 of the last 5.
For Port Adelaide could it be the final send off for Ken Hinkley? Not so much in a negative way but using his last Showdown as a way to give him a true respectful ending at Port.

Due to many factors they are limping to the end of the season. Injuries are impacting and then knowing the coach will change, that hurts the player's psychology too.

They are winning at home and losing away. Perhaps this is their best chance for a good win coming home.

The Showdown has such history to it as best exemplified by the narrowness of the overall record between them.

But clearly this year has one team on the slide and the other on the assent. It would be truly a thing in this clash for an upset but reality has to bite. Crows to run away.

Match Selection: Adelaide by 35 points

Suggested Bets: Adelaide -29.5 @ $1.90
