https://net2tv.live/afl/Here’s a look at this week’s Preliminary Final matchups, as well as where things stand in the AFL Premiership odds entering the third round of this season’s AFL Finals Series.
The Port Adelaide Power will be aiming to clinch a berth in the AFL Grand Finals for the first time since 2007 when they host the Richmond Tigers on Friday morning. The Power enjoyed a well-earned bye last week after downing the Geelong Cats by a 58-42 score in Qualifying Final action.
Port Adelaide have now posted wins in six straight matches, with each of those victories coming by double-digit margins.More important has been the Power’s dominance on home turf. The club has racked up wins in nine of ten home dates, including a decisive 93-72 victory over Richmond at the Gabba, back in early August.
The Power defense has been particularly stingy in recent home dates, allowing an average of just 39.3 points over their past three, and has limited opponents to an average of just 14 first-quarter points over their past four home dates.
The Tigers travel to the Adelaide Oval for Friday’s contest riding high following last week’s 80-49 rout of the St. Kilda Saints in semifinal action. While Richmond have emerged as winners in seven of eight outings since their recent loss to the Power, they have battled inconsistency at times this season while pegged as the road club, compiling a 5-4-1 overall win-loss-draw record.
However, the defending champions bring a wealth of experience to their fourth straight Preliminary Finals appearances, which should be enough to get them past the Power, and a return trip to the Grand Finals.
