The Power have included boom youngster Connor Rozee and forward Todd Marshall, after the talented pair overcame injuries. They have dropped veteran ball-winner Tom Rockliff, Kane Farrell and Miles Bergman.

West Coast v Port Adelaide prediction 3/4

West Coast get the nod in this one, largely because of their home ground advantage and key forwards. The Bulldogs loss stung them, but it was close and their opponent was red-hot. The seasoned Eagles will be hoping to play their best footy later in the year, but they will know the importance of knocking off the Power here. Port Adelaide well-and-truly has the talent to win this, but it’s just too hard picking any team to beat the Eagles on the road. Our final West Coast v Port Adelaide prediction? Eagles by 13 points.
