The Hawk juggernaut can hand the Power a straight sets finals exit on Friday night at the Adelaide Oval.
Best Bet
The Hawks are playing irresistible football at the moment and look well placed to continue that run against the Power.
Port’s defensive stocks have been further depleted by the injury to Ryan Burton who joins Dan Houston and Kane Farrell on the sidelines.
The Power were torn up by the Cats small forwards last week as Gryan Miers, Tyson Stengle and Shaun Mannagh kicked eight goals between them.
Hawthorn is a horrible match up with their small forwards including Jack Ginnivan, Nick Watson and Connor Macdonald coming into this one in red hot form.
The Hawks were far tougher and harder than the Dogs last week, dominating the tackle count and doing a brilliant job of restricting the Dogs ball movement from end to end.
Again, without Houston and Farrell to give them drive off half back, the Power will struggle to move the ball and will be ripe picks for the Hawks manic defence.
Port pipped the Hawks by one point when these sides met in Round 10, but Hawthorn are playing far better football this time.
Chips in the Hawks.

Logan Evans split the kick in duties with Ryan Burton last week, he may not take all of them but he should take most for the power.
Value Bet
The Hawks aren’t just beating teams of late – they are destroying them. If Port produce another insipid effort like last week this could get well out of hand.
