THE second of the Easter Saturday games sees an undefeated Port Adelaide (2-0) host an in-form Melbourne at Adelaide Oval.

It's arguably the Power's first true test of its season after brushing aside West Coast and Richmond in the opening two rounds, despite some wayward kicking for goal.

The Power's midfield is popping with Zac Butters and Connor Rozee in sublime touch, while key forwards Charlie Dixon, Todd Marshall and Jeremy Finlayson have already combined for 12 goals.

Melbourne (2-1) is up and running with a pair of comfortable victories over Hawthorn and Western Bulldogs but will take on a fellow top-four hopeful with issues at both ends.

Injuries to Steven May and Jack Lever might not be as bad as first feared but will still disrupt the Demons' strength in defence while perhaps limiting their options in attack.

Both teams have made just one change, with Jed McEntee replacing Dylan Williams for Port and Taj Woewodin coming in for Steven May for Melbourne.
