The 2019 Troy Chaplin Memorial Cup
This year we play the team who were probably our second-biggest rivals after the Crows
We've played many memorable matches in the past decade...
* The Tredrea game in 2009, seven goals including the match winner
* The 140th anniversary ruined by an 0-9 Richmond in 2010
* Ben Cousins final game in 2010
* The hens teeth win in 2011, one of our three wins
* The draw in 2012, John McCarthy's final game
* The Troy Chaplin aeroplane in 2014, which also featured Matt White's GOTY
* The Father's Day massacre Elimination Final in 2014
* The Kane Cornes farewell before he became amedia pundit firefighter in 2015
* The 'at least we can beat someone twice' in 2016
* The "I hate this club sometimes" game in 2017.
* The "we CAN beat a top 8 side" game in 2018
And then in one afternoon, all was forgiven when they defeated the Crows in the 2017 Grand Final, helping make South Australia bearable

Interesting times for our respective clubs, with both of us coming off losses against highly fancied teams.
Dusty is uncharacteristically out of form, having kicked 0 goals so far in 2019 and only 15 disposals against GWS over the weekend, he could be in doubt due to an off-the-ball hit. On top of that, Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt won't be playing.
We may be without Lycett, on top of being without Dixon and Watts, so both of our clubs could be without key players for this matchup.
This could be a season turning point for whoever wins this.
My prediction: Port by 19, Butters to kick three and earning a a second Rising Star nomination in a row for Port

OH! and here's a game for those who love nostalgia, this trial game from 1981 between Port and Richmond at Alberton Oval, the reigning SANFL premiers vs. reigning VFL premiers, which turned out to be a 1 point thriller
