In 14 attempts since entering the league in 2008, the Power have only beaten their opponents once.
But coach Damian Payne can gain some comfort in the fact that they have come close on many occasions since 2013.
They have lost by four, 10, 36, 19, 19, 25, 12, 19 and seven points.
CDHBU called on all their reserves to defeat a gritty Howlong last weekend and they will need to cut out their lapses in concentration to bring down Jindera.
The Bulldogs usually hand Tom Weldon the task of picking up the opposition’s best forward and Payne fits into that category after his seven-goal haul last Sunday.
Jindera will be sweating on the fitness of Mick Galvin while Sam Crawshaw and Danny Warren were late withdrawals.
It is unlikely Nick Holman will be afforded the same freedom as last week.
