NAB Cup Challenge to Alice Springs vs Port

[mightytiges]

Does anyone know who we play in the NAB Challenge?

I've got a feeling we are off to Alice Springs to make up for the cancellation of the Allstars game.

Greg Denham says we expect to be playing in Alice Springs Friday week (25th Feb) for our first NAB challenge match to make up for the cancelled All-Stars game.

"Richmond will travel to Traeger Park in Alice Springs next week for the first match of the NAB Challenge Series.

The Tigers, who were scheduled to play the Indigenous All Stars on February 4, will get their chance to perform at AFL level against a yet-to-be-named opponent, at 7pm on Friday February 25."

Disappointing for us in Victoria - hopefully it means we get to play the rest of them in regional areas of Vic or Southern NSW

If the opposition is yet to be determined does that mean the likely opponent is out of this weekend's losers?

I heard whispers it could be against Port but nothing confirmed so don't take my word on it.
