What our experts say:
Hawthorn vs Port Adelaide
A match against a Hawthorn side beaten by Geelong by two points, at Aurora Stadium, after a week in which your coach walked out and your president said he’d follow, is not at all good timing but that is what Port Adelaide is faced with here.
Under new coach Garry “Whiskas/Buddha” Hocking, the players need to show some love for the jumper in what is sure to be an incredibly tough match. The Hawks were shattered to lose to the Cats last week and will leave no stone unturned in the run towards the finals.
Hawthorn by 86
SC – Lance Franklin, Travis Boak

Hawthorn ($1.00) vs. Port Adelaide ($21.00):
Good luck Garry Hocking! Probably no more difficult task than taking on the Hawks (in their prime) at your first crack as coach in the big league. Would a loss under 100 points be a win given the circumstances?
Suggested bet: None
