The Carlton Blues will look snap their 11-year hoodoo in Adelaide when they travel to South Australia to put a stop to the Port Adelaide Power's three-game winning streak on Thursday Night Footy.
Port Adelaide have climbed into third place on the ladder after three straight victories against Geelong Cats (six points), Hawthorn Hawks (one point) and most recently North Melbourne Demons (59 points).
The Power breezed to their third 50+ point victory of the season to achieve the second-best percentage in the competition at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, Carlton got back to winning ways against the Suns by 29 points in what was a hard-fought result. That win saw them jump back into the top eight, level with Melbourne, GWS, Geelong and Collingwood. The Blues have never won at Adelaide Oval

Port Adelaide Power team news
It's mixed bag for Port Adelaide on the absentee front ahead of Thursday night's blockbuster clash against the Blues, with skipper Connor Rozee to be assessed after twisting his ankle in Round 11. Small forward Willie Rioli is out for two-three weeks with a calf strain. Francis Evans (21 disposals, five clearances, seven marks, and a goal) had a strong showing in the SANFL and might be a contender to replace Rioli.
