This weekend, the Giants will face the Power in Adelaide and receive a significant advantage. Star midfielder Stephen Coniglio, who could not play in the team’s impressive victory against the Saints last week due to an injury, is expected to be back in action. His return will considerably boost the Giants, notching up their chances of success against the Power.

The Power have a few injury concerns, as Dylan Williams and Trent McKenzie sustained injuries during the match against the Lions. Nevertheless, the positive news for Port Adelaide is that they have the advantage of hosting the upcoming game. These two teams last met at the Adelaide Oval in Round 22, resulting in an impressive 51-point win for Port Adelaide.
