Port Adelaide may have lost the Showdown against the Crows last Saturday but The Advertiser’s tipsters are unanimous in their belief that the Power will bounce back with a win against the Gold Coast in Adelaide on Sunday.
The 30 tipsters also agree on West Coast beating Melbourne on Friday night, Collingwood defeating St Kilda, Geelong keeping its winning run going against the Bulldogs and the Giants proving too strong for Carlton.
The Crows, aiming for five wins in a row for the first time in two seasons, are favoured by 22 of the panel of 30 against the Lions in Brisbane.
A 23-7 margin favours Essendon to win at home against Fremantle, while the tipsters are split 24-6 in favour of the Kangaroos to down the Swans and the Tigers to defeat the Hawks.
