Brisbane will deliver a masterclass against Port Adelaide at the GABBA on Saturday.
Last year’s premiers have been hot and cold in 2025 but will be brimming with confidence after travelling to Geelong in Round 14, handing the Cats a 41-point defeat. They have had the bye since then and will head into this fresh.
Port Adelaide also come in with some solid recent form, having won three of their past four. They were too good for Carlton at the Adelaide Oval in Round 14, delivering a 50-point loss to a Blues side that are a rabble at the moment.
This is a much stiffer test and the Power have a poor record against sides at the top end of the ladder in 2025, having been on ther receiving end of a number of beltings.
Brisbane will gain ascendancy in the middle of the ground and have a host of goalkicking options up forward. The Lions have an excellent recent record against the Power and were big winners the last time the two sides met.
Take the home side to cover the line. Will Ascroft will be in the thick of the action. Logan Morris looks rock solid for multiple goals but the value might lie with Eric Hipwood in this match-up.
- Brisbane have won seven of the past eight matches between the two sides.
- The Lions were 89-point winners the last time these two sides met.
- Will Ashcroft has had 30+ disposals in four of the past six Brisbane wins.
- Eric Hipwood has kicked seven goals in his past three matches against the Power.
