THE SIX POINTS

1. Former Dockers midfielder Michael Barlow, now at Gold Coast, was best on ground when these two sides met last year. Barlow had 43 possessions, two goals, eight tackles and nine clearances in the 17-point victory. Retired champion Matthew Pavlich booted four goals.

2. Winning the clearances was the key for the Power in their round one upset of Sydney. The Power had 49 clearances, more than any other team last weekend. They pulled off the victory despite having fewer disposals, marks, tackles, hit-outs and Inside 50s than the Swans.

3. This will be the 33rd match between the Power and the Dockers. The Power holds a narrow advantage, winning 17 games to 15. However, the Dockers have the upper hand recently, having won eight of the past 11 games between the two sides.

4. The Dockers have lost 19 of their past 23 games and nine of their past 10. They have struggled to hit the scoreboard, averaging just 71 points per game since the start of 2016. During that time, they have scored 100 points or more in only four games.

5. Adelaide Oval wasn't a happy hunting ground for the Power last year, winning just four of their 12 games at the venue. The Dockers will be searching for their second win at the ground in their fifth attempt.

6. Power forward Aaron Young is climbing rapidly up the Schick AFL Player Ratings. Young is inside the top 200 for the first time in his career having kicked three goals and had 17 possessions against Sydney last week. Young started the 2016 season ranked 417th overall.

Port should win comfortably if they play like they did on the weekend against the Swans!

Keeeeeeeeennnn for tomorrow 8) First home game of the season hope everyone decides to turn up for it.

Really intrigued by Ryder vs Sandi. Both happen to be in my AXV team and they are my AF ruckmen as well. But the battle of size vs athleticism will be great to watch, and no one will be going 3rd up to ruin the contest either :D

Up the Power! :)

Can't wait for Eddy to kick 10 after either (a) you  traded him or (b) he's last listed for your  forward line and can't get in

Happy I traded Hibberd over him I guess :P
