IT’S OFFICIAL – Port Adelaide will open its 2018 campaign on home turf!

The AFL have locked in next year’s Round 1 fixture, confirming the Power will face the Dockers in a twilight clash at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, March 24.

It’s a welcome start to the season for the Port Faithful, who had to wait until the second round last year to see the boys run out in a home guernsey.

Port’s True Believers love the Saturday afternoon, family friendly timeslot early on in the year, and are set to open the season in true Port Adelaide fashion – with Game Day Village, March from the Mall and of course, Never Tear Us Apart.

It’ll be 357 days between meetings for Freo and the Power, and the visitors will be seeking redemption after a 89-point loss to Port Adelaide at their last encounter.

The full 2018 AFL fixture will be released at 9am CST this Tuesday, October 31. Stay tuned to portadelaidefc.com.au for the release!
