Did we beat Port during the year? Can't remember but seems to ring a bell.
As Dio said we lost by 5 goals way back in round 3 at Port's home ground. Townsend also got injured early on in that game.

http://oneeyed-richmond.com/forum/index.php?topic=26149.0We were actually extremely poor after quarter time. Port Melbourne cut us to ribbons on the outside. They won the uncontested footy by a whopping 81.
I'd doubt that will happen this time around given the high-pressure way we're playing now. We'll also have a few more AFL-listed players playing in the Granny.
