It will force them to play Westhoff down back and put more pressure on Dixon...I think Jones and Weitering can handle him and Marshall but its the medium classy types like Rozee, Gray, Ebert and Motlop that will trouble us IMO.
They had a good win over GWS and players like Powell Pepper threw their weight around and I'd expect more of that stuff this week
especially if Cripps is sore.
Port will start favorites but I give us chance if we can control the middle and use our tall forwards to advantage....
Generally agree, except the bit on Dixon. I'm not sure any of our back 6 can handle him, even on a rotation basis. He's agile for a big man, a good pack mark, good set shot, adroit at bringing the ball to ground, and clearly loves the crash and bash. if Port win too many centre clearances and clearances near their F50, we are toast IMO.
