Any OERites going?

Yes, me :rollin

Since rnd 10 when they lost to Geelong Port have been in a lot of ways very similar to us. Since that game they have lost 5 and won 4 but their biggest losing margin has been 14 points.
Like us it seems they have been in every game they have played since rnd 10. It is over their and they will be looking for a scalp and it won't be easy.
Give up a 42 point lead in Adelaide and there won't be any coming back.
-
We have everything to play for. They don't.
So I expect to lose.
-
I'm not confident. We are so inconsistent in our application this year that I never expect us to bring a minimum level of effort anymore, and I think Port will always want to beat us up after the 2020 prelim. They will enjoy hunting us with the pressure off.
-
Tough ask this week. Some chance Boak won't play with his broken hand - even if he does play he'll surely be hampered.
-
8 POINT GAME
-
We need to be all chips in the middle trying to win this game .
-
Apparently going to be wet and windy in Adelaide on Saturday.

Port Adelaide v Richmond preview
Alex Zaia
SEN
5 August 2022
Richmond kept its season alive courtesy of a stunning come-from-behind win over Brisbane last week.
Trailing by as much as 42 points, the Tigers staged a stirring stuff to snatch a seven-point victory to stay in touch with the top eight.
With three winnable games to finish their home and away campaign, Richmond remains in the finals hunt.
Victory over Port Adelaide on Saturday night could see them move into the eight by the end of the round.
The Power’s finals chances are all but over following last week’s six-point loss to Collingwood, their third consecutive defeat.
Port (8-11) sits 12 points behind eighth-placed St Kilda with three games remaining.
Coach Ken Hinkley conceded his side hasn’t played well enough to warrant a finals spot.
“Are we good enough to compete with the best teams in the competition? That is clear, we are,” Hinkley said after the Magpies loss.
“But we haven't been good enough to play finals this year.”
The last three games between these two clubs have all been tight contests.
Damien Hardwick’s side won by 12 points at the MCG earlier this year, but lost to the Power by two points in Adelaide early in 2021.
Richmond’s season has been a topsy-turvy one, but are they hitting form at the right time?
Tip: Richmond by 11 points.

He's probably just not having a great year but this year I don't see a lot to get excited about.
I would take him because we have basically no forwards but he's not the type of be trying too hard to trade in.

THE CERTAINTIES FOR ROUND 21
Alex Zaia
SEN
5 August 2022
Port Adelaide v Richmond
Wines to finish with 20+ disposals
The reigning Brownlow Medallist continues to rack up big numbers.
Wines is averaging 27 disposals per game in 2022 and is coming off a 30-disposal performance against Collingwood last week.
The Power star collected 26 touches and five clearances against Richmond earlier this year.
Wines and co will look to put a dent in the Tigers’ finals hopes.
Bolton, Riewoldt and Lynch to kick a goal each
The trio combined for eight goals in Richmond’s come-from-behind win over Brisbane last week.
Lynch booted four majors while Riewoldt and Bolton kicked two each to help the Tigers come from 42 points down to keep their finals chances alive.
The latter dazzled with 12 score involvements and could’ve had a bigger day in front of goal had it not been for inaccurate kicking.
They could prove a handful for Port Adelaide’s defence on Saturday night in what is a must-win match.

For us to win tonight we need big games from the likes Graham and Ross tonight. Graham in particular has been ordinary lately and needs to lift... Plus Nankervis needs a good game and we need him to take contested marks around the ground. Good luck Tigers.
-
Long day ahead and already nervous. This season feels like the back end of 2014.

Yeah that's the one. From 3 and 10, dead and buried, to 12 and 10 and finals. In 2014 that was the most spectacular thing I'd ever seen a Richmond side achieve. Back from the dead! They did us proud that day. :gotigers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQRf3u9aJr8
My favourite part of this video is around 3:40: Richo is in the commentary box at Adelaide oval and lets out a little yelp (squeal?) of delight when Martin kicks the sealer. Just couldn't contain it. :rollin
What a ride it's been since then--simpler times when just making finals meant everything. Makes me realize that we don't have to go all the way this year, just show some heart and get everyone pumped like we did back then. Looking to Cumberland, Sonsie, MRJ, Miller etc for those moments.
-
Play 4 quarters we win simple as that have a first half like last week no chance need to take our chances , ramp it up show hunger , pressure like in our flag years and no passengers.

x2.
Yep, we need to bring the pressure across the park and match/beat them in the contested footy which is Port's one wood. We can't have a repeat of last year where after getting ourselves up for and beating Brisbane in Jack's 300th, we brought zero intensity the following week against Geelong and the game was over at half-time.
-
Sun currently shining in Adelaide ;D
-
Get ready to be nervous if the game comes down to relying on the sub (George) :-\.
Anyway, we just need to win no matter how and no matter the margin :gotigers.
-
Smart play going around the arc from the boundary. Gets to Baker who passes to Dan Rioli 45 out who ran hard for the reception. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 1.0-6
Port 0.0-0
-
Awareness Tom. Awareness :scream.
-
Gifting opposition soft goals from schoolboy turnovers :banghead.
-
Dumb dumb dumb :scream.
First hands at the stoppage and cough it up. Then confusion in defence allowing Dixon out the back :facepalm.
-
Hooray! Actually kicking it long to our forwards.
Lynch marks 45 out but misses.
7 - 12
-
Good pressure and we get the deliberate OOB free to Lynch. Misses everything :P.
-
Geez we're stuffing up the basics :banghead.
-
So you're allowed to chop the arms umpire? ::)
-
Lynch finally hits the target :gotigers.
Rich 2.1-13
Port 2.0-12
-
You could have ran in closer Shai.
14 - 12
-
Shai again from the boundary hits the post.
15 - 12
-
Our disposal and decision making is putrid so far.
-
This isn’t finals pressure.
Watching the pies last night it’s like chalk and cheese.
We have a long way to go to get back to our premiership level. :help
-
Prestia push in the back on 50. Goes to Lynch outnumbered and it's rushed.
16 - 12
ps. Port fans are clueless about the rules.
-
Ross first goal of the season :gotigers
Rich 3.4-22
Port 2.0-12
-
Over-handballing again and turnovering it again :banghead.
If it's over 15m then kick it to your teammate for the mark, Tiges!
-
Another WTF disposal :help
-
Miller is having a ripper
-
Cotch high all to 45 out and Bolton leaps highest to mark it just before the siren. Goal! :gotigers
Quarter time
Richmond 4.4-28
Port Adel. 3.1-19
Goals: Lynch, Bolton, Ross, D.Rioli.
-
Well that was a quarter of winning all the key stats mixed with dumb decision making :-\.
Miller is having a ripper
He is. Would say close to BOG for us. At least he's not making dumb errors like many of his teammates.
-
Some reason my TV was on delay :P lol. Caught up now.
29 - 26
What the hell was that Broady :help.
-
Where's the pressure and numbers Tigers? :huh.
-
We are dominating everywhere but on the scoreboard and smart decisions.
-
Great chase Maurice :clapping.
Hits the post though :P
Our @#$% goalkicking :banghead
30 - 26
-
Miller is having a ripper
Bloody oath. I reckon he can play basically anywherez ruck, back or forward.
Streets ahead of Biggie.
-
:facepalm
Dumb rule as what was Broad meant to do? Hit it sideways and it would be paid deliberate OOBs.
-
MRJ shoukd play every week he leads the way in the forward 50
-
Hit your bloody open targets Tiges. Two missed disposals in a row :banghead.
Lucky to get the free.
Anyway it gets to Dan Rioli on 50. Now that's a great kick for goal :gotigers.
Rich 5.6-36
Port 5.2-32
-
Port player drops his knees in the tackle and it gets paid a high tackle ::).
-
Short fumbles too much and is scared of contact.
-
Sonsie's kick from 50 goes to the goalsquare. Jack kicks the volley and it may have come off Cumberland's leg?
Anyway it's a goal to us :gotigers.
Rich 6.6-42
Port 5.2-32
-
Another unforced schoolboy turnover (Kmac) gifts them a shot :scream.
Lucky it gets touched by Nank on the line.
42 - 33
-
Pathetic Tiges! Where's the workrate? Too many Tigers ballwatching.
-
Some magic from Bolton kicks a goal with 9 secs left.
Rich 7.6-48
Port 6.4-40
-
Our pressure on the ball carrier is non existent. :help :help :help :scream :banghead
-
Half-time
Richmond 4.4 7.6-48
Port Adel. 3.1 6.4-40
Goals: Bolton 2, D.Rioli 2, Lynch, Cumberland, Ross
Crap quarter overall both with and without the footy but we've managed to keep the lead thanks to a couple of brilliant goals from Bolton and D.Rioli.
-
Lynch quiet that quarter. Getting ragdolled constantly but still think there’s a bag out there for him if he wants it.
-
22 tackles in a half >:( :help :banghead
-
A few concerns that have been around for a while.
1. Our pressure. Think our AVG age probably has a fair impact on this. However seeing guys like Sidebottom and Pendles pressure till last minute last night shows that this isn't an excuse it's a choice.
2. Our ball use from half back. Rioli is so important to us. We haven't replaced the brilliance of Houli. Rioli goes close but he needs help with rebounding. Short now plays a weird midfield role. Broad hasn't been rebounding as much he was start of the year. Our ball use in transition and decision making has been really off.
Happy to be leading but another game we should be hurting the scoreboard way more.
-
Too many witches hats and poor execution, wow, some of the skill errors you would give a spray to an under 12 team. We can't even nail a handball, passes scewing off the boot, missing by metres. If we could execute our inside 50 entries we would be up by 30. Same ole same ole, heaps of forward 50 entries just wasted with poor decision making and atrocious skills.
-
Just 22 tackles in a half of footy. That's woeful.
Team disposal at just 69%. That's sub-standard.

MRJ leading our pressure (19) and tackles (4)
The rest of them could take his lead
Port slicing and dicing us through the middle.
We need to pull out the digit. It’s a real shame how far we have lost our way. It’s supposed to be our one wood.
-
Getting burnt on the outside with uncontested footy (-19) against Port who are primarily an inside ballwinning team shows how off our pressure is. Pickett who has been good this year needs a rocket at half-time. Just 3 possies in a half from a wingman means he isn't working hard enough. Mind you he has a fair few teammates in that department. Most of the team needs a kick up the backside.
ps. Fox Footy showing Lynch being continually bumped off the ball before the ball arrives yet no frees at all. It would be different if he wore a Geelong jumper ::).
-
Most soft play out of the middle to start the 3rd :scream.
Floss copped a knee from Dixon .... ouch!
-
No free to Vlas as Dixon had no eyes for the footy and just cleaned him up.
-
Let's hope Floss hasn't broken any ribs :help.
-
Thank goodness for Dan tonight. Ran and received all the way from HB to HF and hits up Lynch in the pocket. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 8.7-55
Port 7.4-46
-
Take that gift.
Sonsie from 50 along the ground. McKenzie slips over and Lynch walks into an open goal :gotigers
Rich 9.7-61
Port 7.4-46
-
Dumb Broad :facepalm. That's twice tonight.
-
Our stupidity is keeping in it :banghead.
Oh gawd. George subbed on for Floss (ribs).
-
If he ducked then it's holding the ball ump.
Nank down to Cotch to Maurice who gets the goal anyway from the stoppage :gotigers.
Rich 10.7-67
Port 8.4-52
-
Courageous mark Jack flying back into the pack :clapping.
Goal! :gotigers
Rich 11.7-73
Port 8.4-52

Ross misses on the run from 40.
74 - 52

George :facepalm.
Why Dimma why was he the sub?
-
From the throw-in. Prestia to Lynch around the body goals :gotigers
Rich 12.8-80
Port 8.4-52
-
LMAO Castagna
-
You just know nothing good is going to happen when George touches the footy in those situations.
-
George.
Ok. The person who keeps picking this bloke needs to be called out. And absolutely shamed. This has to stop. I won't say 1 more critical thing about Castagna. I put complete blame on the absolute donkey who keeps picking him. Name and shame this idiot.
-
Why is Castagna back? Surely we could’ve used someone else :banghead
-
Both Rioli’s are our best tonight.
-
Sonsie 55 out sets it up and Bolton flies above the pack to mark 25 out.
Shai misses a sitter though :scream.
81 - 53
-
How is that not HTB against Dixon? ::)
-
Too cute and fumbly. Didn't get clean to Cumberland whose snap misses.
82 - 53
-
There’s nothing about Ross that excites me. Just a dime a dozen type of player. Isn’t clean by hand and doesn’t have the skill by foot either.
George is just a rubbish type player that has the worst skills in the league by a county mile.
But he has three premiership medals. :rollin
-
Miller marks 40 out. However, he sprays it so badly it bounces 25m away from the goals for a throw-in :P.
Disgraceful that no Tigers were forward of Miller especially on the goal line. Lucky it went over the boundary line so it stayed in our F50.
-
Nank out of the ruck from the stoppage kicks it to the goalsquare. Bolton in best position cops front on contact. Kicks this sitter. Goal! :gotigers
Rich 13.10-88
Port 8.6-54

Cumberland!!!!!111one

Brilliant Noah. Cumberland side bumps the Port player off the ball, wins the footy and in one motion snaps the goal :gotigers
Rich 14.10-94
Port 8.6-54
-
How many times have we allowed the ball over the back of the pack into Port's F50?! :banghead.
94 - 60
-
Why is Castagna back? Surely we could’ve used someone else :banghead
Hardwick should be sacked for that decision
-
3/4 time
Richmond 4.4 7.6 14.10-94
Port Adel. 3.1 6.4 9.6-60
Goals: Lynch 4, Bolton 3, D.Rioli 2, Cumberland 2, Riewoldt, Ross, M.Rioli
Dominant quarter overall which we needed but (yeah this is probably harsh) there's still the dumb stuff (missing easy goals or letting the ball over the back into D50) which is the schoolboy crap we need to cut out of our game.
-
It's interesting hanging back a little and spotting each poster's individual whipping boys. Well, save for Castagna, who seems to draw some (usually justified) universal ARGH. ;)
Beaker and Moju my players of the game thus far - isn't it nice to feel relatively safe at three quarter time...?

Very dangerous comment. :rollin
-
Ahhhhh the dreaded 6 goal lead :lol
-
How does Riccutio get a commentary gig. Sounds like he's spent 30 mins in a glory hole box. Get him off.
-
Kmac reported for that according to Fox Footy.
-
This is crap. We've switched off even knowing what's happening this year :banghead.
-
With most players you can find one thing about them that is elite or decent or looks very promising.
Things like skill by foot or quick hands or excellent evasive skills or great poise or clean off the ground or is excellent overhead mark or he doesn’t panic or he’s good in traffic etc etc.
I don’t have anything I can think of that I can say for Ross and it goes without saying how deficient Castagna is.
-
Bolton through a gap but his kick is touched as it goes through.
95 - 69
-
Both Riolis through the middle. To Cumberland who at 45 kicks it across to Bolton (just). Plays on and goals :gotigers
Thank gawd for that!
Rich 15.11-101

Who would’ve thought keeping Balta down back is a great idea :rollin

Classic
Looked like chunk from the goonies

McIntosh very impressive tonight good 4 quarter performance
-
Cumberland misses the off the ground kick in the goalsquare. Too much off the side of the boot.
108 - 70
-
McIntosh very impressive tonight good 4 quarter performance
Been huge - last week too. Pity he'll miss a game.
-
We get it back from the kick-in. Prestia finds Bolton on the lead 30 out. Misses.
That's 4.5 to Bolts.
109 - 70
-
Castagna :facepalm
-
It won't matter but that was dumb defending. Fumbled and fell over each other.
It's only a point to Port anyway.
109 - 71
-
Need to get the hammy merchants off - Balta, Lynch, Cotch, Prestia.
-
Good win and back in the Eight :thumbsup. One down, two to go!
-

Why in the world would anyone in their right mind put Castagna in defence? I saw him down there a few times and it was awkwardly uncomfortable to watch.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Bolton kick 9 straight in a final?
-
Good win. Could have been a bigger margin but if you offered me this a few hours ago I'd have said yes please.
Some great players tonight. Nank, Cotch, Prestia, RIOLI, KMac, Lynch.
-
Reading back on the thread you’d think we’d lost the game. Comfortable 6 goal win on the road against a good(ish) team and didn’t give them a sniff in the last qtr. Only real concern for me is the vlastuin injury.
-
Impressive performance all round. I liked Miller playing the second ruck role, growing each week.

Might be a forward option too for replacing Jack

Really good team effort with some obvious standouts.
Looking forward to watching the replay
Some interesting comments around Castagna in defence. Clearly things have a tendency to look different on TV compared to live at the ground but I thought he was OK when he went back to help out. Certainly wasn't great but was OK. Defensively his pressure around the contests was better than it has been
Liked Miller as 2nd ruck gave us alot of mobility around the ground. It is something worth persisting with.
We head home with the 4 points, a spot in the 8 and ours to keep if we keep winning. No excuses from here
-
Castagna wasn't criticised because people watched on TV. It's because people have PTSD.
Aside from that kick for goal in the 3rd which was an utter disgrace, George was okay. By God would I hate to receive a handball from him though, he fires in wobblers at your nuts. Great endeavour, world's worst skills
-
How can a player that has trained as a professional AFL have skills now that are worse than 5 years ago?
-
It won't matter but that was dumb defending. Fumbled and fell over each other.
It's only a point to Port anyway.
109 - 71
Why in the world would anyone in their right mind put Castagna in defence? I saw him down there a few times and it was awkwardly uncomfortable to watch.
Because he is looking for ways to keep him in the team seems when it comes to some he just cannot let go and make a hard call.
Imo it was a disgrace he even named Castagna as a sub.
-
Im disappointed too. George got himself 3 flags and good luck to him but when we have Banks, Brown and Clarke waiting in the wings, when youve got Ralphsmith also waiting in the wings, Stack, Mansell and I dont kniw who else, Id rather see one of them get a game than George.

Will sound strange we had a win over there but i thought we were ordinary in a lot of ways and the stats won't show it this week but some were ordinary as well.

defensive pressure was rubbish in the first half and results showed.
what was it 16 in the first half and 40 after. Need to do better and for longer if we want to do anything in September

First half we looked complacent but second half we steamrolled them. Personally I think it should have been 50+ points

Apart from the 2014 EF, Has Robbie Gray ever played a good game against us ?

Apart from the 2014 EF, Has Robbie Gray ever played a good game against us ?
He's played against us 19 times (equal second most in his career). Yet his disposal average is the lowest against us and he's only kicked 26 goals (1.4 per game).
Only 6 games stand out and only one of them has been in the past six seasons:
R10, 2011 4 goals Port won
R17, 2014 4 goals Richmond won
EF, 2014 25 disposals, 1 goal Port won
R8, 2015 28 disposals, 1 goal Richmond won
R15, 2016 24 disposals, 1 goal Port won
R11, 2020 22 disposals, 3 goals Port won

Great games from Bolton, Prestia and Cotchin. Daniel Rioli continues his great season. I hope for Daniel he wins the best and fairest this year.

Report Card: Round 21
Catherine Healey, Ben Cotton, Ben Waterworth and David Zita
Foxsports
8 August 2022
RICHMOND
The Tigers will be a real threat if they can hang on to eighth place and lock in a finals berth. They showed they have weapons in attack with Tom Lynch and Shai Bolton enjoying a night out in Adelaide. Richmond racked up 62 inside 50s and 45 clearances away from home and finished +31 in the contested ball count. A number of players put their bodies on the line in the must-win game to ensure they remain alive in season 2022.
In the votes
Shai Bolton was the player of the match, and could have finished with an absolute bag of goals if not for his inaccuracy. He still ended up with an equal career high of four goals, but also landed five behinds. Tom Lynch was devastating in attack as he racked up 4.1 from his 16 disposals. Dan Rioli also showed what he is capable of if needed in attack with two goals in his 25 disposals. Fox Footy’s David King believes Dion Prestia is the key to Richmond’s success in 2022 after he collected 32 disposals and 10 clearances.
Room for improvement
The Tigers didn’t have a match up for big Charlie Dixon when he was deep in the square. And that could be a concern for Richmond heading into the final two rounds. Marlion Pickett had a quiet night with just the eight disposals, but even he silenced the crowd with a brilliant goal from the boundary. Nathan Broad coughed up two goals from two defensive errors. The first when he punched the ball through for a behind and was penalised, and the second for insufficient attempt to keep the ball in play inside his defensive 50.
Grade
A+

He won them that game in 2020. He is a gun player who may have gone on a season too long.
But certainly we've put the effort to get the match up right on him

He should have cost them the game when he deliberately rushed the ball from outside the square. But oh no Jacob Mollison must have applied some umpire 'common sense' to not pay what was clearly a free kick under the rules. No different to the one paid against Broad.
