Port Adelaide have an outstanding record against Sydney and are capable of pushing the Swans all the way at the SCG.
Best Bet
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley is under pressure after a Showdown loss but it is too early to write off the Power just yet.
They looked outstanding beating the Lions in Round 1, and while they went on to have their colours lowered by the Pies and Crows, they will take confidence from their outstanding record against the Swans.
Port have won their last six straight against Sydney, including wins by 23 and 28 points at this venue.
What Ken Hinkley would be particularly disappointed with is losing the contested possession count. The Power are last in the league for contested possession differential through the first three rounds.
They need more out of players like Ollie Wines, who is averaging just 10 contested disposals this season, his lowest number since 2013.
The Power have the personnel to quickly turn this around, and while the Swans have started the season well, Port can keep this one close.
Same Game Multi
Jake Lloyd and Callum Mills are super consistent ball winners for the Swans while Connor Rozee has attended more centre bounces for the Power than any other player.
Value Bet
While the Power have an excellent record over the Swans, star forward Lance Franklin has kicked 4 goals in three of his last four appearances against Port Adelaide. After a tough match up with Steven May last week, the superstar will be keen to impose himself on this one.
