PORT ADELAIDE come up against Central District in a huge clash at Alberton Oval in the SANFL in Round 6.

Port are coming off an encouraging 37-point victory over Woodville-West Torrens last week, and will be looking to cement themselves in the top five in the early stages of the season.

Centrals currently sit seventh on the ladder with a 2-3 record in 2019, after a loss to Adelaide at home last weekend.

The Dogs have shown some good form so far this year, defeating the reigning premiers a fortnight ago, and will be looking to bring the same intensity when they visit Alberton on Saturday afternoon.

Trav Schiller has led the way in the midfield for the Dogs, averaging 31 disposals a game, while Troy Menzel (7 goals) and Justin Hoskin (7) have been the focal points up forward.

Jack Trengove continues to lead the SANFL for possessions, averaging 37.8 per game, and has been able to hit the scoreboard as well.

Billy Frampton leaped to form against the Eagles last week with five majors, after returning from a two-match suspension.

Livewire forward Sam Davidson has also been damaging, kicking six goals so far in 2019.

The two sides are unable to be split in recent meetings, both winning four games from the last eight starts, while Port holds a 13-game (33-20) advantage at Alberton Oval.

In 2018, Port won the Round 10 encounter by 18 points, before the Dogs turned the tables with a 22-point victory in Round 18.

The Magpies are the highest scoring side across the opening five rounds, averaging 89 points per game, while Centrals are ranked 10^th, managing 62 points a game.

The first bounce between Port Adelaide and Central District at Alberton Oval will be at 2.10pm on Saturday afternoon.
