Port Adelaide’s true believers have proven they travel, with big away support at all four Melbourne clashes in the regular season and more than 20,000 heading across for the Preliminary Final against Hawthorn.
We take a look at the games you’ll want to start booking flights, planning road trips and organising your mates for.
The games you’ll want to travel to
Round 3 v North Melbourne @ Etihad Stadium – Saturday, April 18 @ 7.20pm
All four of the Power’s regular season games in Melbourne in 2014 were on a Sunday, which made it hard for people to travel across. This Saturday night clash with North Melbourne is perfect for Power fans wanting to get to a game in Melbourne. Plenty of options for flights or you can easily drive over Saturday and back on Sunday.
If the clash in 2014 was anything to go by, the Power and Roos will put on a show worthy of the trip over. Don’t be surprised to see 10,000 or more of the Power army at this game!
Round 12 v Carlton @ MCG – Saturday, June 20 @ 1.40pm
The MCG is always a great experience for watching football and the Round 12 clash with Carlton is our only trip to the ground during the home and away season.
We got two wins over the Blues in 2014, so they’ll be fired up to get one back in this game.
Round 14 v Sydney @ SCG – Thursday, July 2 @ 7.20pm
Knock off at lunch time on Thursday, take Friday off and make a weekend of it for this blockbuster at the SCG.
Our 2014 clash at the ground drew a record crowd of 41,317 and was one of the matches of the season. With two narrow losses to the Swans in 2014, the boys will be desperate to get a win in this one.
Round 17 v Essendon @ Etihad Stadium– Saturday, July 25 @ 7.20pm
Another beauty on a Saturday night in Melbourne – and this game has a bit of extra spice, with Paddy Ryder set to play against his old team for the first time in Power colours.
Getting towards the pointy end of the season, this game could have plenty riding on it for both teams – make sure you’re part of the travelling army to show your support for the boys!
Round 21 v Hawthorn @ Etihad Stadium – Friday, August 21 @ 7.50pm
Friday night at Etihad Stadium means you can make a weekend of it in Melbourne. If our last away clash against Hawthorn is anything to go by, there’ll be thousands heading across for this clash, not to mention the growing Vic Supporter Group showing their colours.
Start booking your trips in now, true believers!
