Footy Frontline Ep 17: Port Adelaide’s Crisis, Carlton’s Surge & Round 16 Insights

In this week’s episode of Footy Frontline, Nick D’urbano and Oliver Caffrey tackle the latest AFL news, analysis, and predictions.

Port Adelaide’s Crisis Port Adelaide suffered a devastating 79-point loss to Brisbane at home, marking their third consecutive defeat with an average losing margin of 46 points. The Power are now 8-6 and barely clinging to a top-eight spot. Coach Ken Hinkley faces mounting pressure, with fans voicing their dissatisfaction. Hinkley’s outlook has shifted from optimism to acknowledging the team’s struggles. With a tough schedule ahead, including matches against St Kilda, Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast, and Richmond, the Power’s season hangs in the balance.

Carlton’s Surge Carlton delivered a statement win against Geelong, solidifying their credentials as flag contenders. Led by an outstanding midfield and a powerful forward line, the Blues dominated the Cats. With key players set to return, Carlton is poised for a strong finish to the season. Playing only three top-eight teams in the run home, the Blues have a favourable path to secure a top-four spot.
