Show Preview
North Melbourne travel to their home away from home in Hobart to take on the suddenly resurgent Port Adelaide now dreaming of finals after three wins in a row. Join The Roar for live scores and rolling coverage from 2:10pm (AEST).
Just three weeks ago, the Kangaroos, remarkably, were ahead of the Power on the AFL ladder, though that was mostly due to Port starting the season with five consecutive losses.
Now, the Power, thanks to three consecutive wins over West Coast, St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs, are just a game and percentage outside the finals, while the Roos have suffered ugly loss after ugly loss.
Injury has struck North hard this week, with number one draft pick Jason Horne-Francis (hamstring), key back Ben McKay (knee) and inside bull Hugh Greenwood (COVID) all missing the trip to Tasmania. In better news, forward spearhead Nick Larkey returns from suspension, while 2020 high draft pick Tom Powell is back after a run in the VFL.
For the Power, having resurrected their season in recent weeks, they simply can’t afford to drop a game like this. Running defender Riley Bonner and wingman Trent Dumont will miss due to an ankle injury and health and safety protocols respectively, with superboot Kane Farrell among the returnees having missed the win over the Bulldogs due to COVID.
