It is an understatement to say this is a big game for both sides. With the teams locked on 32 points apiece and separated by just percentage, this Friday night contest has major ramifications for the rest of the season. Port Adelaide is out to make it three wins on the trot and continue its charge up the ladder, while Melbourne will be looking to bounce back after a 42-point loss to Collingwood prior to the bye. The loss to the Magpies ended the Demons' six-game winning streak and a win over the Power would restore confidence in their aspirations of making the top four. The duel between Melbourne's Max Gawn and reigning All Australian ruckman Paddy Ryder shapes as integral to the clash while the battle between childhood friends Jack Viney and Ollie Wines will also be interesting to monitor. After a bye, will Melbourne be able to recapture the form that served it so well over its successful six-week run of form?

IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR …

Could we see Jack Viney and Ollie Wines go head-to-head? The childhood friends are two of the most competitive players in the AFL and it would be great for the game if the two locked horns. Viney has played in run-with roles recently and may go to Wines as he is the Power's form inside midfielder.

The Eagles (10-2) slipped from the top of the ladder after a second loss to Sydney for the season but they have a game in hand and can reclaim the lead from Richmond with victory over long-time rival Essendon on Thursday night. The 13th-placed Bombers are coming off the bye and, at 5-7, can kiss their finals chances goodbye if they can't conjure a massive upset on their second visit to Optus Stadium this year. Although star forward Jack Darling's absence was telling against the Swans, the Eagles' firepower at home looms as a major problem for the Dons, with West Coast averaging 106 points at its new fortress, where it has won six on the trot. Essendon breathed some life into its flagging campaign with three wins from four games before the bye, including two road triumphs, but has a shocking record in Perth, losing seven-in-a-row.
