This match clearly has my interest over any other match of the round (besides my rooting interest in the Swans) and will be well worth watching, in my opinion.
Ah, this game has me good. The Power lead the Roos in most statistical categories. However, we all know what has happened to the Power since, well, they have plumb given up on the season! The Roos, on the other hand, not only haven't, but are making a solid and honest push for the Eight.
We've got Chad Cornes coming back for the Power and his bro Kane ready to hit out as well. Quite frankly, I have no love for Port, but being a recent new father myself, if someone tilched me on the pitch about my new child, Barry Hall/Brett Staker would have been kindergarten news. If I didn't get an 8-game minimum from the Tribunal, I would have been embarrassed.
Anyway, back to this game.
Quite frankly, if the Roos matched up better against the Power, this match would be an eat 'em up, eat 'em up best bet of the round..................but they do not. The Power have the axe over the Roos in most areas where it counts. But, remember, that also includes numbers back in the part of the season whent eh Power said it mattered. How about now?
That being said, the mental aspect of sport is so important, so undervalued, and so not in the numbers.
Port has said their season is finished. The Roos are fighting for everything they've got.
At a pick 'em, that's all I need to know.
PICK: NORTH MELBOURNE KANGAROOS @ EVENS
