Unbeaten Power take on the disappointing Bombers. Power were lucky to survive a Lions scare and Bombers will be looking to bounce back after last weeks dreadful display. Going for an upset here and tipping Bombers who hold a 4 - 1 record at Etihad.
Essendon would wanna show a bit of fight with the spotlight on them now. Hard to see them beating Port tho
Hopefully Zerrett can return to some sort of form
I'll just say I'm a lot more confident in this game than I was against Freo and the Dogs.
Ryder out will help a lot, will need Bellchambers to really take advantage of that and get first use to Heppell/Merrett/Pidge/Parish/Stringer/Smith at every stoppage and absolutely need the forward line to start firing (like they did last season against Poort) - will need Daniher, Hooker, Walla, Razz and Stewart to combine for 13 or so goals.
But I'll still be conservative, don't have faith in this team whoever we're playing so I'd tip Port by 12.
Port just to get over the line.
It's so hard to pick a winner here because Port are the form team of the comp right now but I feel like they're due to drop a game, and the Bombers are the hardest team in the comp to tip because they'll lose the ones you think they'll win and somehow get over the line in the ones where they probably shouldn't. Tipping Essendon with zero confidence.
not confident at all about this one
Nothing would shock me here. Port are in better form but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Essendon came out and won by 50 points
