Essendon faces Sydney at Marvel Stadium after a crushing defeat to Gold Coast, marking their fifth consecutive loss when favoured. This loss dropped them out of the top eight. In contrast, Sydney is safe after an awesome comeback victory against Collingwood, overcoming a 27-point deficit thanks to standout performances from Chad Warner and Isaac Heeney.

Sydney has won five of the last six matchups against Essendon and holds statistical advantages in key areas, including average points scored and conceded. Sydney also boasts a higher efficiency inside 50 and a significantly larger average winning margin.

Port Adelaide Power are better in most metrics.
Adelaide Crows are better in winning margin by 2.7 points, and marginally better disposal efficiency.
Port Adelaide is gearing up for a significant matchup against Adelaide Crows in the second Showdown of 2024, with a home qualifying final within reach. Despite their recent dominance in the overall standings, the Power has struggled in showdowns against the Crows, losing both matches since the start of 2023, including a 78-48 defeat earlier this year. In that game, Port Adelaide led key metrics but failed to convert those advantages into a win.
The Power enters this game in strong form, having won six of their last seven games, including a narrow victory over Melbourne. Adelaide also comes off a big win, having defeated the Bulldogs 111-72 last weekend, driven by standout performances from Darcy Fogarty and Matt Crouch.

Carlton Blues are better in every other metric.
Carlton heads to Optus Stadium to face West Coast with their finals hopes hanging by a thread. The Blues have struggled recently, losing five of their last six games, including a heavy 112-38 defeat to Hawthorn. This slump has been compounded by a growing injury list that now includes key players like Harry McKay, Charlie Curnow, and Adam Saad.
Despite these setbacks, Carlton still has a strong chance against a West Coast side that secured just their fifth win of the season last weekend, overcoming North Melbourne 102-97. Having not yet played each other this season, the Blues dominated their meetings with the Eagles in 2023, winning both games convincingly and should do the same this week.
