Match preview: Port Adelaide v Richmond

28 June 2016



SUMMARY

With both teams among a group of five with six wins, victory is crucial to keeping their slim chances of reaching the finals alive. The Power have lost their past two, but are well rested with a 13-day break after their disappointing 17-point defeat to Fremantle. Ken Hinkley's men could be boosted with the addition of key forward Jay Schulz (back) and defender Jack Hombsch (hamstring). They take on a Tigers side that has won its past two, albeit against both Queensland teams who are near the bottom of the ladder. The Power are much stronger than when they beat Richmond by 35 points in round six, with their two All Australians, Robbie Gray and Chad Wingard, back in the side. The Tigers were missing key defender Alex Rance through suspension on that occasion, but will need a strong performance on the road to keep in touch with the top eight.

WHERE AND WHEN: Adelaide Oval, Friday, July 1, 7.20pm ACST

LAST FIVE TIMES
R6, 2016: Port Adelaide 13.16 (94) d Richmond 8.11 (59) at the MCG
R8, 2015: Richmond 11.10 (76) d Port Adelaide 5.13 (43) at Adelaide Oval
1EF, 2014: Port Adelaide 20.12 (132) d Richmond 11.9 (75) at Adelaide Oval
R17, 2014: Richmond 19.12 (126) d Port Adelaide 16.10 (106) at Etihad Stadium
R7, 2013: Richmond 18.6 (114) d Port Adelaide 10.13 (73) at AAMI Stadium

THE SIX POINTS

1. Port Adelaide's 35-point win over Richmond in round six shows that statistics don't always tell the whole story. Bachar Houli (34 possessions), Shaun Grigg (32) and Dustin Martin (31) found plenty of the pill and the Tigers dominated the hit-out count (64 to 24), but the Power led at every change.

2. Hard work at the contest has been Port Adelaide's trademark this season. The Power are ranked second in tackles in the competition with 78.8 per game, while the Tigers are last in that category, with a dismal 62 per game.

3. History favours the Power, but the Tigers can take heart from their recent record against Port Adelaide. The Tigers have won four of their past seven games since 2012, including a draw. But the Power still have the edge overall 16-10 since the club's entry into the competition.

4. Richmond's forwards are getting plenty of great service from their midfield, taking the second-most marks inside attacking 50 this season with 14.5 per game. The same can't be said of the Power, with just 10.2 to rank third-last.

5. This is the first serious challenge for the Tigers in a number of weeks. While on the surface they are in great form having won five of their past six games, their past four have been against the bottom-four sides.

6. He's firming in the Brownlow Medal markets every week with a slew of best on ground performances, but that hasn't translated in Richmond star Dustin Martin climbing up the Schick AFL Player Ratings. Martin is 39th overall (468 points), but only fourth at the Tigers behind Brett Deledio (28th, 478.8), Shane Edwards (32nd, 475) and Alex Rance (34th, 473.9).


IT'S A BIG WEEK FOR … Robbie Gray.
Port Adelaide's dual All Australian was held to just 18 touches by Michael Barlow, who had a career-high 43 possessions of his own, in Fremantle's 17-point upset of the Power in round 13. Gray needs to exert his influence in the midfield and be strong enough to shake off the tag he's certain to get.


PREDICTION: Port Adelaide by 24 points

'History' against Power fresh in the mind for Tigers

AFL.com.au
28 June 2016



RICHMOND'S trip to Port Adelaide on Friday night will be another chapter in the intense rivalry growing between the two clubs, predicts Tigers midfielder Brandon Ellis.

The Power's domination of Richmond in the 2014 elimination final, when they burst clear in the opening term before eventually finishing 57-point winners, still sticks in the craw of the Tigers' players.

"What they did to us in the final, we didn't really like that," Ellis said at the club on Tuesday.

"We've got a lot of coaches that are at Richmond now that played for Port Adelaide, so there's a lot of history between the two clubs."

Both teams sit at 6-7, although Port's percentage is almost 20 points higher. West Coast is 8-5 in eighth place but recently lost brilliant ruckman Nic Naitanui to surgery on both his Achilles.

Ellis was well aware of what was riding on the match.

"It's a massive game. Going over there, it's always tough to beat them," he said.

"There's a bit of history between us, which is always good, so it's going to be a pretty fierce contest."

Richmond was on the end of a 35-point defeat to the Power in round six earlier this year at the MCG. Robbie Gray and Chad Wingard missed through injury.

However, the Tigers had their own personnel issues, with Alex Rance serving a suspension, while tough midfielder Kane Lambert suffered a punctured lung in the opening term.

Ellis said his teammates were well aware what aspects they needed to rectify to be victorious on Friday.

"We reviewed that game a little bit this morning, found out what we did wrong," he said.

"We went back and we know what we have to do this weekend to get over the line."

We need a big game from Ivan and our mids tonight. No Hombsch means Port's defence is inexperienced is something we can exploit if we can get enough ball inside F50.

Lose this and it's season over even by optimistic Dimma's standards.



LATE CHANGES
Port Adelaide: Jack Hombsch (quad) replaced in the selected side by Tom Clurey
Richmond: Nil

FINAL INTERCHANGES
Port Adelaide: Jake Neade, Matthew Broadbent, Karl Amon, Nathan Krakouer
Richmond: Anthony Miles, Sam Lloyd, Tyrone Vickery, Nathan Broad

It's called softness! Can't excuse a lack of attitude, effort and intensity on one player missing.

Other teams naturally block and shepherd opposition taggers and snipers to help out their stars. We leave our stars to hang out to dry. It only needs a couple of hard blocks on a spud like Mitchell to free up Cotch.

Dusty getting towelled by Ebert & umps and no one gives a stuff.  :banghead
Cotchin getting his pants pulled down again because he struggled to shake a tag everyone knows it but no one in this team has a clue on how to stick up for their captain because they could t give a stuff.   :banghead
No support, no toughness, no balls, no spine, no passion, no loyalty, no integrity and no heart.

This bunch of sissys are a mirror of the coaching staff.

I can't stand watching this bunch of panty wearers. Hunt, B.Ellis, Grigg, Conca, Edwards all wear panty liners as well.

Public transport at peak hour, full of passengers. No one can convince me we are playing to any particular gameplan. When something comes off its pure luck rather than good management. We still insist in passing to stationery targets, whats the point, its wet and slippery, get the ball forward and have the forwards play one on one. Too many free Port defenders inside 50 and they transition much better than us.

Move Vlastuin in the middle and take a risk, we need big bodies and if we dont win the centre clearances then he is wasted in defence because weight of numbers will win over in the end.

Feel we will fall away in the last and get beaten badly, no spark at the moment.

We have no faith in our forwards aside from Jack. Also our smalls are useless and slow. Unless we take a mark, the opposition run it out easily. That's why we go to the pocket. It's a negative defensive tactic  to try and cover our many deficiencies.

22 more disposals but less kicks, 16 less inside 50s and of course just 8 goals and 6 fewer than Port.

18 fewer contested possessions 158 - 176 ..... Dimma will blame the loss on this stat

27 more hitouts ( 52 - 25 ) but ...

19 fewer clearances ( 33 - 52 ) and 6 less centre clearances which equaled each teams goal tally ( 8 - 14 )

13 fewer stoppage win ... 25 - 38

and our favourite stat that Dimma ignores:

43 fewer tackles ..... 63 - 106

13 Port players had 4 or more tackles; Richmond only had 5  ...... Griffiths had 8 tackles  :o (but did sweet stuff all else including not one mark)

l reckon we went in too tall in those conditions. We lacked run but overall our foot skills & hot handballs to players under pressure. Turnovers we are our own worst nightmare. We are weak in body & Cotchin is scrawny for a player who has been at the club for so many years. Edwards another. We are too small & weak in the midfield which is game over

No doubt in my mind we are clearly the worst tackling team in the competition but it doesn't seem to rank as an important stat as far as the coaches are concerned. Even when we do tackle we consistently tackle incorrectly and allow the opposition to offload the ball where in similar situations where we are tackled we are dispossessed or a free is paid against us. Thousands of supporters can see the problem but a handful of coaches can't, tells me we have a problem Houston.

The extent of Tigers’ capitulation in the second term was best shown in the fact it took them more than 18 minutes to go inside forward 50. It was the longest period a team has taken to go into attack in a quarter this season, according to Champion Data. The Tigers were obliterated out of the middle and then found themselves hopelessly pinned in their back half and unable to get hold of the ball. Sixteen Richmond players had three disposals or less for the quarter in a display which will bring more heat on coach Damien Hardwick and his playing list. The loss all but condemns the Tigers to watching on this September, a bitterly disappointing outcome for a club touted as a top four contender pre-season.

Richmond’s willingness to engage in scuffles and melees was greater than its stomach for the real contest, for much of this game. Trent Cotchin and Dustin Martin received close attention from Kane Mitchell and Brad Ebert respectively, leading to numerous scuffles. There was also a brief melee at the quarter-time break. But the Tigers’ willingness to fly the flag didn’t result in goals. It was the fifth loss from five Friday night starts for Richmond this year. The aggregate margin of those five losses is more than 200 points.

On the final 4 lines. Not that I've ever complained as debating a different view should be a key part of any forum but I'd argue that your view has been consistent for a couple of years.
We finished 5th last year and it was a good year without being great.
I'd argue on balance that any poster who disagreed with you until this year could do so with credibility and in fact win that debate in the eyes of others if not yours.
Waiting until we fail doesn't make you right in hindsight.

There is no lesson to be learned here.

It's just grandstanding to say otherwise.

Having posted the above, I'd acknowledge you've made a number of valid views this year which I've agreed with - partly because of club performance, partly because of the way they've been constructed.

Start playing youth. Play Butler, McBean see if they are up to it. Make long term decisions on the playing futures of Chaplin, Grigg, Houli, Vickery.

Wow ...  With respect I disagree completely.





"We couldn't take eight years to rebuild. We needed to become competitive a bit quicker than that. But at that time all the best talent basically for the next four to five years was going to be going north (to Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney)," Richardson said.

"We're seeing the likes of GWS reap the rewards of that now. Our strategy wasn't just to go to the draft like a lot of clubs did because we knew that would probably take six to eight years and we've seen that with the likes of Melbourne.

"We didn't think Richmond fans would accept an eight-year rebuild. We turned it around in four, which I think was a terrific achievement.

"We're paying a price in the sense that we knew that that mature-age talent would get us to a point but not take us to the next level, which was always going to be the hardest part.

"While it's been disappointing somewhat to not win a final, it's been a good achievement to play finals for three years in a row for the first time for 20 years for the club."
