Brisbane is on a remarkable winning streak, having secured their best form after a sluggish start to the season. The dual reigning premiers have won their last seven matches, a stark contrast to their earlier struggles, which included two consecutive losses and a significant defeat by 78 points.

Their recent victories include wins over Gold Coast, Richmond, Sydney, Geelong, Essendon, West Coast, and most recently, a dominant 90-point win against Essendon. This impressive run has positioned them to potentially secure a top-four spot as they prepare to host Port Adelaide at the Gabba.

In other AFL news, North Melbourne will host St Kilda at Docklands Stadium. This match also carries significant weight, as both teams are competing to climb into wildcard spots in the finals.

Brisbane has a strong recent record against Port Adelaide, winning four of their last five encounters. The teams will field unchanged lineups from their previous matches, with Port Adelaide making three changes to their squad.
