Head to Head

The last time these two teams met was the Qualifying Final last year with the Lions comfortably winning out 123-75 in a game that went Over the Game Total.

In the previous six regular season games dating back to the beginning of the 2019 season, Brisbane hold a 5-1 record with Port’s only victory coming in the Round 1 game at Adelaide Oval last year.

Port Adelaide Form

Port are on a two game skid having been beaten comfortably by the Blues and Giants now in consecutive weekends of footy either side of their bye.

The Power are still struggling in front of goal and hold the AFL’s lowest number for Accuracy this year.

On top of their scoring woes the team has had trouble stemming the flow of forward entries for their opponents with both Carlton and GSW outperforming their season averages in that statistic over the past 2 games.

Port Adelaide Team News

Willie Rioli and Hugh Jackson will both need to pass fitness tests to play. Rioli was in the running last week but fell short at the final hurdle.

Charlie Dixon has been suspended after a hit in the SANFL last weekend and won’t be available for selection until Round 18.

Brisbane Lions Form

Brisbane are weirdly enough in a spot of good form. They have only lost 1 of their last 6 games (also 1 draw) and have regained their scoring presence through their current 2 game win streak.

There is a slight worry about their defensive effort though as they allowed one of the AFL’s worst scoring teams in St Kilda post their season high total last weekend.

The Lions who are known for being a good team at the Centre Bounce were outdone 20-13 in Clearances by their opponent.

Brisbane Lions Team News

No new major injury news for the Lions with Will Ashcroft expected to make a return to footy next week. It remains to be seen though in which format.
