The season’s second Showdown sees Adelaide and Port Adelaide resume hostilities in a match with even more at stake than usual. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:40pm (AEST).
Showdowns always grind the city of churches to a standstill, but this means more than most: the Power are looking to shore up a top-two spot that is starting to look shaky after consecutive losses, while the Crows must win here to keep their September hopes alive.
It will be tricky for the Crows, though, with key defender Nick Murray and star goalsneak Izak Rankine joining Josh Rachele on the sidelines; all were crucial as they stunned the Power in Round 3’s Showdown, and their absence could well prove defining tonight.
