Preview: Richmond v Port Adelaide

THE STAKES are high for Port Adelaide after three losses in its past four games. After a barnstorming first half of the season, the Power have been bumped from first on the ladder to third in the past fortnight and need to regroup to keep a foothold in the race for a top-two spot.
Finals are out of the question for Richmond, but pride is on the line. The Tigers need to regain some respect in their last seven games and they have shown in quarters and halves their best football is competitive. Attention will turn to list management at Punt Road and fringe players will be desperate to show their worth in the run home.
WHERE AND WHEN: Etihad Stadium, Sunday July 13, 1.10pm AEST
LAST FIVE TIMES
R7, 2013, Richmond 18.6 (114) d Port Adelaide 10.13 (73) at AAMI Stadium
R23, 2012, Richmond 16.10 (106) drew with Port Adelaide 16.10 (106) at the MCG
R6, 2012, Richmond 13.13 (91) d Port Adelaide 8.6 (54) at AAMI Stadium
R10, 2011, Port Adelaide 13.11 (89) d Richmond 10.14 (74) at TIO Stadium
R22, 2010, Port Adelaide 18.14 (122) d Richmond 16.16 (112) at Etihad Stadium
THE SIX POINTS
1. In-form Richmond midfielder Dustin Martin won three Brownlow Medal votes when these sides last met, finishing with 33 possessions and 13 marks. The match was effectively over at half-time after the Tigers kicked 11 goals to four.
2. Port Adelaide is ranked No.1 in 2014 for marks inside 50, averaging 14.1 a game. Port goalkicker Jay Schulz is ranked No.3 in the League, taking 54 grabs in attack.
3. Only the Western Bulldogs have laid more tackles than Port Adelaide in 2014, with the Power averaging 71.2 a game. Richmond is ranked equal 12th with 63.3 per game.
4. These teams have met just three times at Etihad Stadium, with Port Adelaide holding a 2-1 advantage and winning the most recent clash at the venue in round 22, 2010.
5. In the first 12 rounds this season Port Adelaide's average scores for and against were 111 and 74 points. Since round 13 that has changed to 89 and 78 respectively.
6. Matt White's move from Richmond to Port at the end of last season has helped his form significantly, with the midfielder sitting at a career-high 109th overall in the Official AFL Player Ratings, brought to you by Gatorade. He is ranked No.33 overall in the AFL for average points this season.
Prediction: Port Adelaide by 26 points

I want to beat Port, but it is a must lose game
Must MUST lose game. Doubt they will let us down although I expect they will try to for a quarter.
-
this game will show where the Tigers are really at this season. l think we are better than Port & if we come away with the 4 points in a close battle, then l will be more than happy.
:gotigers
-
Are you bi-polar?
An upset win over Port -who would've clearly hit a wall with 3 consectutive losses- will only serve to further the delusion that this was just an "off year" and we're really "not that far away"....cue minmum draft picks/kids and more recycled top-ups.
-
I wonder how Deledio will pull up during this game. If memory serves me correctly last time we played Port, Deledio went untagged and when they finally put Cornes on him he ran circles around him. If Deledio can't break away from an ancient Cornes then clearly we need to rest his god damn achilles for the ENTIRE remainder of the season.
-
Hinkley talked up Richmond's recent form, claiming the Power would have to be at their best to return to the winners' list.
"They're as good as any side when they're up and about…they may have won a couple in a row an we've lost a couple in a row, so when you look at that you go 'who's in form, who's not in form?'" he said.
"We've got to absolutely bring our best game to give ourselves a chance.
"I know that the Richmond Football Club and 'Dimma' (Damien Hardwick) will be up for the challenge.
"They're already saying they want to take a big scalp and they see us as that scalp at this stage – well we hope to take their scalp."

Tigers up by 5 points at qtr time. Dare I say it, our mistakes keeping them in the game.
Lloyd looks very dangerous in our F50.
Hope we can keep up the pressure on their running game, they are tight for space.
-
Not so many dinky 1m handballs that quarter. Also made some good tackles. Dunno when our defenders are going to learn to kill marking contests thought.
-
Not a bad quarter but geez we make a lot of poor decisions, still cannot fathom our movement to the forward pockets, as soon as we go down the middle we look so much more dangerous.Think Cotch has been possessed by by a poor skilled footy ghost, turnover king.
-
Two more marking contests that should have been killed. One form Chaplin and one from Batch. Cost another goal.
-
this game will show where the Tigers are really at this season. l think we are better than Port & if we come away with the 4 points in a close battle, then l will be more than happy.
:gotigers
Do you honestly think that this game will show where we are at???? If we win... :huh :huh :huh
-
Port goal, out the middle and to the goal square, we would have gone pocket no doubt.
-
Corridor, amazing!
-
Port goal, out the middle and to the goal square, we would have gone pocket no doubt.
That centre bounce was a really poor setup from us. I think it was Conca who was on the wrong side of his opponent. The ball was never gonna go anywhere else but into the space that Port had created.
-
Good pressure, chase down and then a goal from the boys. Port not getting a easy D50 clearance there!
-
And then TV takes a mark in front. Too much to ask for him to kick the goal though.
Then Port goes coast to coast for the second time. When will our guys learn to kill a marking contenst?
-
Worrying signs now for Richmond.......we are in front by 32 points, we cant possibly win from here.... :whistle ::)
-
Ring your bookies and get whatever you can on
port
-
Good shepherd from Cotch on that goal to Dusty. Lloyd running around the man on the mark looked so slow, but he got away with it.
-
Another marking contest that we couldn't kill that cost us another goal. This time Morris. He was on the boundary side of the contest and softly spoiled it back towards the middle of the ground.
Then Morris tries to break through a Sarge tackle, gets nailed and costs us another goal.
-
20 points at half time, squandering a 32 point lead...
The game is ours to lose again if we are hopeless enough....I think we are!!! :gotigers
-
Every frigggginnnn time!!!!!!!
-
Last couple of goals cost us through silly errors, particularly that last goal.
On the positive side, our run and carry, chasing, tackling and marking have been great. Another 60 minutes of that type of intensity and the game is ours to win.
On the flip side, we have the ghost of North Melbourne hanging in the background....

BTW, Rance has been a star.....again. Miles also very handy.
-
Half time now. Let's hope that our guys who are playing injured won't cool down a bit and will get started again in Q3, or the pre-game jabs they've had will stay effective.
-
Rance *thumbs up*
Morris *facepalm*
-
Rance *thumbs up*
Morris *facepalm*
Morris is punch drunk, seems to fall over a hell of a lot and makes terrible decisions and getting lost at the contest, can't question his effort but it's not enough
-
Really strong half of footy - probably the strongest we've looked physically at the contest all season. Hard running BOTH ways.
Just want to highlight Batchelor - hasn't been bad since he came into the side several weeks back and is starting to look like he belongs down there. Today he's gone to another level, his blocking, 1%ers, kicking, marking and reading of the play is first rate. People slam him for fumbling i'll be honest I don't see it and never have. This guy is a good footballer and definitely looks lithe and more agile than I can ever recall. Good on him, might be saving his career.
Just on pettard and this is not an attack on him bc overall I think he does offer a bit but his kicking is so stuffing deplorable. His efficiency is currently on 69% at halftime but that is garbage - his goal assist was a shot at goal that Lloyd was good enough to mark, his centre from the boundary line would've made phil mickelson's lob wedge envious, the hang time on his kicks is about 6 Mississippi's for a 40 metre kick. Watching guys like Ellis and Dusty handball to pettard to be the release man is some of the dumbest decision making you can see. Get this guy in the fwd line as a defensive mid fwd that can pinch hit and get some better ball users up the ground.

9 points....OH RFC....how could you!!!! :lol

Now this is more like the Tigers I know, missing targets, no run, taking the soft option, go tiges

Just woke up

Is Ellis playing today?
Having a shocker!

Reckon we have held up okay this quarter - Port coming hard.
The next 20 minutes will be interesting.
The head knock while bad for Concs might be good timing for us

Sorry mate. I didn't see it.
Stand by for a port onslaught in the last.
You'll see them play us man on man and kill us in contested possession and run.
The marshmallows will start crying and the players will show how much they love Rance or Jack.
My prediction is port by 22 points.
......the coach will do more of this. :huh3

Grimes killed gray

At least it stopped him from kicking another goal.

WTF Tiges!!!!!
Where has that been hiding....

Thought Jack had a good game as was Houli & Petterd
Cotchin was very good as usual and Miles was very good also.

That result just makes me angry more than anything. The side that won today is the one that made the finals last year playing the same style of football. We looked fast, skilful and committed, and outran and outlasted the supposed fittest side in the AFL. So why did it take until Round 17 to start playing the same proven style of football that took us to a whisker of the top 4 last year? The playing list is almost identical so what has suddenly changed to make the players run forward, pressure their opponents and take the game on? I can't help but think the coaching group have committed a serious crime on themselves and the team by trying to change the gameplan over the summer and it's taken them this long to admit it and make the change back. Jack was spot on with his comments earlier in the year and rather than castigate him publicly, Hardwick should have stepped past his ego and listened to what was being said. Who knows, we might have been able to resurrect the season back then, instead of making ourselves look like foolish imposters by playing so crap and then suddenly turning it all around. Gold Coast, Bulldogs, Melbourne and North Melb are just 4 games I can think of that we would have won easily playing that style and we would then be sitting in the 8 instead of planning Sept holidays. :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead
-
It's easier to win games when the pressure is off you....
-
I reckon the inclusion of Maric and miles has made a massive impact on our contested ball numbers over last 5 weeks , we ve been building to a performance like this
-
Just saw Newman get a touch. Didn't realise he was still on the ground
Is he STILL out there ??
-
It's easier to win games when the pressure is off you....
true, but, for instance, we saw very little of the overuse of backwards/sideways possessions today.
there was plenty of times today where players ignored the backwards/sideways option and looked for, and found, an option further up the ground.
this is as much a coaching thing as a pressure related thing
-
It's easier to win games when the pressure is off you....
Qft
-
Agreed Smokey but I think they changed tact about 6 weeks ago and it is only now that we are starting to see the benefits.
They played really well today and kept it up the entire game.
If that's the standard they have set for the rest of the season, then 2014 isn't a complete loss.
I'm not saying we will finish 9th and I don't want to but neither do I want to limp through the next few weeks.
I also hope to see a few more younger players in the seniors - players like McBean, Helbig, McDonuts and Lennon will complement to current team as Lloyd did today.
It removes the list cloggers from the seniors and gives our team purpose with young players who will improve the game plan.
There are a few buts, we all know that.
-
played good but its another useless win that will only lose us draft position

GO TIGES, more of this sort of stuff kk thanks. Great to see Vickery stick a few marks and bust a pack. Some gutsy contested work by everyone today. Hope concs bonce isn't shattered after the broadside from the port boofhead.

Great team effort :clapping

Don't mind Lloyds knack for finding space and shifting his defender off of himself either, he is a clever prick. Will get better with more games imo.

Of course
-
By far the most complete performance from the boys this season. Their strength at the contest really stood out to me today as well as their 2 way running and more direct style of play.
-
Did better at the one on ones today, seemed to have finally worked out how to defensively hold the ball up or get it out to a spare player moving forward. Still making bizarre turnovers that just kill us but the difference today was our pressure made Port turnover just as often and we made them pay. Three on the trot is still a good effort regardless of the opposition but today was our most complete four quarter effort. One postscript, the coaches need to pay special attention to the bad kicking technique Martin seems to have picked up lately, seems to want to kick from the side of the ball and had a couple of shocking shanks, i think from memory both turned out well but just something that needs looking at.

Agree best four quarter effort by the boys for the season.
Exposed their lack of height in defence and even after Conca was stretchered off and they looked threatening held them at bay for the remainder of the third and dictated early in the last to stretch the lead and despite Matty White's goal and the continual threat of their run/pace and ability to transition and go coast to coast we adapted and applied ourselves well.
Rance was King today. :thumbsup

Add the Sydney game and we'd be 11 and 5 with reasonable % and level with Port.
The game plan changes from quarter to quarter at least today it didn't alter even when Port looked like running over us in the third when from 3 shots Pittard kicked out, Schulz missed and I can't remember the third who kicked OOTF all in quick succession. Yes I can't feel but hollow given what we have been given and what we got today. When it mattered we couldn't produce this against a top 4-6 opponent but when it seems futile out comes this. Staggering. :help

Geelong game as well

That result just makes me angry more than anything.
Me too. Was interesting to hear both Jack and Chaplin say we built this game up like it was a Grand Final. My question is why ? Where was that commitment to the contest against Melbourne after Hafey died ? Where was it against The Bulldogs , Gold Coast etc etc ?
Sydney , Hawthorn and Geelong for eg just bring it every week regardless. Those sides have all achieved the ultimate success a few times recently and we've achieved nothing ! The fire should be burning in our guts but it isn't.
There is something intrinsically wrong at Richmond if we need to build a game up as a Grand Final to win it.
-
6 weeks ago is when Miles had his first game. We lost Tuck last year thanks to Hardwick. We were devoid of in and under players the first half of the season. Impossible to win if you don't get the footy. A little oversight from the coaching department. We would take another step forward if we had Arnot in there getting the ball with him.
But for Tuck's treatment and the stupidity of not playing Miles from round 1, we should have played in at least three final series since Hardwick joined the club.
Agreed Smokey but I think they changed tact about 6 weeks ago and it is only now that we are starting to see the benefits.

I still believe the reason we performed so poorly early in the season was due to opposition teams figuring us out. They knew that if they closed down our space around stoppages that we would stagnant and turn the ball over. Port plays a game similar to us and like to create space themselves around contests in which they back their quick midfielders to spread and run into. We won the contested ball and used this space ourselves. Other teams have been more defensive on us and played a game of attrition and pressure in which we have folded.
We are now starting to win the contested ball again with (someone said this earlier) the inclusion of Miles and Maric. This has given us more freedom and allowed our outside midfielders more ball. This is why Ellis has stepped up recently. Add a fit Jackson to the side and you start to win more stoppages and therefore games.
I don't think you can under-rate the loss of Maric from the start of the year. He puts the ball down to our advantage, creates space with blocks and works tirelessly around the ground. Hampson did none of these.
Hardwick tried to 'tweak' the game plan this year but this failed. It made us more stagnant and reduced our run. Lesson learned I hope.
Its a shame that we are performing better now when we no longer can make the finals but we will take this form into next year which is more important than moving up a couple of places with our the draft selection imo
-

Hmmm maybe ? Didn't work out like that after our strong finish in 2008. Coach was sacked six weeks into 2009 ;D
-
They won because they put in a team effort & took the game on. Conca was a big loss for us with his attacking & tackling. They were prepared to do things different & it all payed off for a excellent win. Yes EXCELLENT. That's the type of football l like watching & every supporter should enjoy it over the next 2 weeks before we take on West Coast which l believe we can win.
The best part is Ports ability to outrun sides & score quickly. They are one of the quickest from end to end as you can see they caught us out several times but we also stopped them playing on their terms & we controlled the game for most of the day with hard pressure football.
Morris still does some dumb things but then he can do some courageous things. Still alot of work to be done but another season of building & l reckon they will be a strong outfit. Lets see what the West Coast game brings but lets enjoy a great win for all concerned.
