Port Adelaide Power (12-7) enters their match against top-of-the-ladder Sydney Swans (14-5) as the favorites, aiming to secure their place in the top eight this Saturday night at Adelaide Oval.
The Power come into this game as the form team, having won four of their last five matches, with their recent victory over the Carlton Blues standing out as particularly impressive. Despite trailing by as much as six goals in the second quarter, Ken Hinkley’s men dominated the second half, conceding only 11 points against one of the league's top attacking teams.
Conversely, despite sitting six points clear at the top of the ladder, Sydney has struggled recently, winning only one of their last five matches. In fact, four of their five losses this season have occurred in the past month.
With the finals approaching, it's crucial for John Longmire and his team to regain their winning form quickly.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Port Adelaide vs Sydney Swans in the AFL, plus plenty more.
