AFL: Former Kangaroos champion David King is tipping Port Adelaide to make a statement against the Magpies in Round 6 at the MCG.
Dual premiership Kangaroo David King believes Port Adelaide ’s young gun midfielders can “get hold of” a “gettable” Collingwood and cause an MCG boilover on Saturday.
The Magpies have won their past two consecutive games after a sluggish start to their premiership defence campaign. The Power have been one of the most impressive teams of the season so far - and will head into Saturday’s clash knowing they’ve won their past three matches at the MCG.“I love what they are doing and they’re an exciting team,” King told Fox Footy’s Give Me Something.
“Looking at the stoppages, I think the Pies are gettable here. They’ve lost their last three clearance battles against teams I thought they would’ve beaten … I’m concerned about the Pies in this area.The match gets underway at 1:45pm from the MCG.There were no late changes for either side, with Reef McInnes and Jed McEntee named the starting subs.
After an early arm-wrestle, the Power struck first with long-range goals to Zak Butters then Sam Powell-Pepper to give them a 12-point lead.
