Port Adelaide will sense an opportunity for three in a row as they host Carlton. Welll have live scores from 7.40pm AEST.
Port’s season has had its ups and downs, with calls for Matthew Primus’ job dotted in between some surprise wins.
Two weeks ago they accounted for a poor North Melbourne and last week it was an impressive road win over Gold Coast.
A 7.7 to 0.2 third quarter set up a 48-point win, with Travis Boak best on ground due to his three goals and 28 disposals. Brad Ebert and Danyle Pearce also impressed.
The past two weeks have improved the club’s record to 3-6, although they are still way back in 15th place.
Carlton will see this game as an opportunity for a much-needed win.
A red hot start has been followed by some difficult to swallow results for supporters.
Last week, the campaign was settled thanks to a 58-point win over Melbourne. Eddie Betts had five goals while Mitch Robinson, Chris Judd, Brock McLean and David Ellard also played well.
Carlton are in sixth place on the ladder but can’t afford to drop another game they should win. They have six wins and three losses.
Jarrad Redden is in for Port Adelaide and Daniel Stewart is out.
Chris Yarran and Matthew Watson come into Carlton’s side while Kane Lucas and Andrew Collins are out.
