Collingwood and Port Adelaide lock horns at the Adelaide Oval in what looms as one of the matches of the season. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:40pm (AEST).
The Power head into this highly anticipated top-two clash with their midfield stars fully available. Jason Horne-Francis is set to make a return from injury, and despite a groin complaint, Zak Butters has been named in the line-up.
Ken Hinkley’s team will receive additional support from Trent McKenzie, Willie Rioli and Charlie Dixon; however, there’s a surprising move as skipper Tom Jonas has been dropped.
On the other side, the Magpies have made several changes of their own. Billy Frampton, Oleg Markov, and Ash Johnson have been left out, while Brody Mihocek and Darcy Cameron are back. Additionally, last week’s sub, Tom Mitchell, has earned a spot in the starting 22.
The engine room battle will be one for the ages with both sides sporting the most competitive midfields in the competition. .
The odds for tonight’s match are even and hard to split. Port Adelaide will be reeling after last week’s defeat to Carlton and will be hard to beat at home.
