Another Adelaide Oval blockbuster will take place this Saturday night when the Port Adelaide Power host the GWS Giants.

Both teams have suffered a loss of form in the past month, with the Power going down in each of their last two matches.

The Giants, however, ambushed the Magpies last week, coming into quarter time with 50 points already on the board.

If the Power do not bounce back and start winning more matches, their finals aspirations will fade fast.

GWS needs to find a way back into the top four in order to become a true premiership threat, as the likes of Brisbane and Richmond have overtaken them in recent weeks.

Port coach Ken Hinkley has made a pair of big moves at the selection table, dropping Charlie Dixon and Steven Motlop to make room for Paddy Ryder and Joel Garner.

GWS is missing a majority of its first-choice midfield, but the Giants still have plenty of talent on the park with Toby Greene, Tim Taranto, et al.

Port Adelaide vs GWS Giants Round 19 player disposal odds

Robbie Gray to get 25 disposals @ $1.72 with Sportsbet
Gray has a great record of finding the footy against the Giants throughout his career. In his seven matches against GWS, the 31-year-old Port hero has collected over 20 disposals six times and went down injured in the other. Gray will need to play in the midfield this week to get the Power over the line.

Heath Shaw to get 20 disposals @ $1.67
In his 300th career game, Shaw will not go down without a fight. The former Pie is known for taking kick-outs and demanding handballs at all times. With his ability to use the ball well off half-back and his determination to win, Shaw will celebrate his milestone in style.

Port Adelaide vs GWS Giants Round 19 goalscorer tips

Zak Butters to kick a goal @ $1.80 with Sportsbet
With Charlie Dixon out of the Power forward line, Butters will have to pull his weight this week. The Western Jets product has booted four goals in his last three games, including two against Richmond last time out, so he is building some consistent form.

Ian Hill to kick two goals @ $3
Hill kicked three goals against the Tigers on his AFL debut, immediately proving his capability at senior level. Although he only slotted one last week against the Magpies, the young West Australian looked very dangerous at ground level. If Hill can rove a few packs well in this match, he should kick a couple of goals.
