What it means for Port Adelaide: This is a chance for the Power (seventh, 8-7) to show their Showdown smashing of Adelaide wasn't a fluke and prove they can be a serious premiership threat.
What it means for Brisbane: The Lions can consolidate a spot in the top four by winning back-to-back matches on the road after last weekend's impressive victory against Greater Western Sydney.
The stat: Lions midfielder Lachie Neale has found plenty of the ball against the Power. Neale averages 37.2 disposals per game in his past five matches stretching back to 2016. He had 43 touches and eight clearances in their 17-point win in round three.
The match-up: Charlie Dixon v Harris Andrews
Andrews is now the No.1 key defender in the competition having overtaken West Coast's Jeremy McGovern, and is 27th overall in the Official AFL Player Ratings. The Lions fullback will give Dixon – the second-ranked key forward at the Power and 219th overall – everything he can handle.
It's a big week for: Charlie Cameron
The Lions' excitement machine will love nothing more than to celebrate his 100th AFL game with a huge victory at his former home ground. Cameron showed glimpses of his potential when he played at Adelaide Oval every second week, but the former Crow has taken his game to another level at the Lions.
Big call: After being well held by Harris Andrews for most of the game, Charlie Dixon stands up with a huge goal with less than two minutes on the clock as the Power gets over the line.
Prediction: Power by two points

first they turned the state of S.A against each other by public saying port magpies have applied for a AFL license.they did not have to do that but they orchestrated the whole thing while they knew completely what would happen.And we all know how that went down.AFL you are worse then a organised criminal syndicate you know how much influence you have and you use it as leverage which is illegal,you are the so called custodians of the game.well step up and fix this before you lose numbers around the country.i love footy and you guys grind my gears be fair because the truth is W.A S.A N.T and Q.L.D have produce some of the best footy players to play our game/not your game AFL just to name one ken farmer 1417 goals 224 games hardly spoke about in the game/jack owens 817 goals 177 games.i can name plenty more even in the modern game.im just sick of it i try and watch port play and all this stuff get magnified by all there little comments and having all these old vfl players on media arrrrr anyway we are port Adelaide and we will win by 2 points today
