The Dogs are favoured when they travel to the Adelaide Oval to play the Power on Saturday afternoon.
Best Bet
The Dogs are more frustrating than a Christmas present without batteries but they should be too good for the Power, who have been awful of late.
Western have the second best percentage in the league but still find themselves out of the Top 8 with an 8-7 win loss record.
They are capable of being thumped by Brisbane one week, then bouncing back and smashing Fremantle the next.
Nevertheless they play Port at the right time. Yes, the Power finally got back in the winners stall last week but there was no solace to be taken from that atrocity of a game, Ken Hinkley’s tears notwithstanding.
The Dogs midfield brigade is absolutely humming at present, while the Power’s prime movers are simply too inconsistent, and their forwards are badly out of form.
Back the away side in this one.

Same Game Multi
Adam Treloar has had a couple of quieter weeks but if the Power are to lock down on anyone it will be Bont. Ads is well capable of bouncing back here.
Bailey Dale has cleared 25 in four straight.
Kane Farrell has been in great ball winning form, with 24 or more in his last three.
Value Bet
The market doesn’t seem to be factoring in how poorly Port are playing and when the Dogs are up and about, they can score as much as anyone. This one could easily be a blowout.
