Port Adelaide will be aiming to continue its ridiculous club-record winning streak on Saturday night, hoping to beat Essendon and claim a 12th win on the trot.
The Bombers (8-6, 107%) were on a four-game winning streak before going down to Fremantle last week. They’ll again be without No. 1 ruck Sam Draper, with the cult hero dealing with a lingering hip issue
The Power (12-2, 119.3%) are one of the hottest teams in the competition, but must keep racking up the victories in order to keep up with top-placed Collingwood and keep a gap on red-hot Brisbane.
