I think this will be a closer game than I initially expected. The Power have Boak, Carlile, Cornes, Gray and Thomas coming into the side. Daniel Motlop being out may in fact be a blessing in disguise for them. The Power haven’t won for a long while, so will be desperate for a win. Josh Carr’s last game is extra motivation for them.

Having said that, the Crows are more polished with their skills, and have an even contribution of contested footy winners. I’m not sure if those three ins are good for the Crows, seeing as the team last week played so well. Bock is a crowd favourite, so it won’t surprise me if he comes in. I just hope they don’t drop Phil Davis, who won the rising star award last week.
