What it means for Port Adelaide: The Power can improve to 3-1 for the season and bounce back from a hard-fought 17-point loss to Brisbane at the Gabba last Saturday night.

What it means for Richmond: It's a critical game for the 2017 premiers. A loss to the Power would leave the Tigers reeling at 1-3 after the first month of the season.

Heading off to the game in a few minutes, hoping for a good competitive effort from both sides and a high scoring entertaining game.

Don't care about the margin, just want the 4 points.

Make it quick Port. This one will get ugly.

 

[Ron The Bear]

We can’t win without Port being way off the boil, and maybe not even then.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Rockliff and spp to have 40 each

Rockliff and spp to have 40 each

Depending on how he pulled up. Otherwise I'd back you for that.

 

[juss]

Port by 30+

 

[caspian]

who the hell names their kid "Sydney Stack"????? ????

Richmond to win it by two goals is my tip but happy to be proven wrong.

 

[Sterge]

Plenty of blokes playing afl who would be permanently concussed if counting backwards from 100 by 7s is the test

 

[Stretford End]

Port should be looking for 40+ with all of Richmond's outs.

 

[telsor]

Richmond is LEADING the free kick count!!!!!

Port has beaten Melbourne, Carlton and lost to Brisbane.... Questions need to be answered to how good Port actually are.... and today we'll get those answers.

 

[juss]

Missed opportunities early, must take them on the road as underdogs to have any chance.

 

[PAFC_1870]

This has potential to be an ugly game.

Not for the scoreline. More for Richmond's pressuring without having the classy players to finish it off.

No we won't. This Richmond side would only just beat Carlton

Answers alot, if port lose.

They should smash us to send a message.

The fact its not already an elimination final type scoreline says plenty

 

[TW Sherrin]

[The Joker]

Hit him in the hip and gave away a below the knees free kick

Exactly.

Any team in the League with their 4 best players out... and an interstate game for them at that. It would be very tough for the Tiges today. If Port can't get it done.... I'm going to say they are not even a top 8 team.

 

[juss]

Almost cant watch this, very frustrating errors or just misses

 

[Black Saab]

Wooooooooo 50m free to port. Let's see that get paid the other way.
