The Power will then travel to Mandurah in Western Australia to face West Coast in Round 2 before returning to South Australia for Round 3 to play Fremantle in Victor Harbor.
Once again, Round 1 of the NAB Cup will see each team play two lightning matches with 20 minute halves, with weeks two, three and four of the tournament reverting back to the traditional game format.
The format of next year's NAB Cup has changed, with the tournament no longer knockout each round. Each team will play in the first three rounds of the competition before the teams with the two best records after Round 3 to play off in the NAB Cup Grand Final.
