There's some great scalps': Power wary of lowly Tigers

Power coach Ken Hinkley is wary of the lowly, injury-hit Tigers

By AAP
19 July 2034

PORT Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has been around footy long enough to sense the danger.

He's wary of a wet slog against an injury-hit opponent when the Power host Richmond on Saturday night.

With a bleak forecast at Adelaide Oval, and Port in a ladder logjam, Hinkley is on alert despite the Tigers languishing in last place with just two wins.

"It's a transitional period for them as a football club," Hinkley said of the Tigers and first-year coach Adem Yze.

"Adem has come in and he's new and there's a lot of change that has gone on at Richmond this year."

But Hinkley pointed to the Tigers' wins this season as reason for Port to be worried.

"They have won over here in Adelaide (against the Crows)," he said.

"They have beaten Sydney – there's some great scalps.

"They have got their own issues with injuries, we have had a lot of injuries.

"You have just got to be ready for their absolute best. And the conditions we may come up against may really suit the way Richmond play."

Port Adelaide v Richmond Preview

Port Adelaide missed the chance to move into the top four by losing to the Suns on the Gold Coast last week.

The 14-point loss has them sitting ninth ahead of Round 19 and in desperate need of four points to push back into the finals muck.

They get a great opportunity against a travelling Richmond side that has lost four in a row during which time they have failed to get within four goals of their opposition.

While the last win from Adem Yze’s Tigers did come against the Crows at the Adelaide Oval in Round 13, this situation seems a little different in that Ken Hinkley’s Power are challenging for a spot in the eight.

The last time the two sides met was at the MCG in Round 2 when Port trailed at half-time before eventually shaking the Tigers off to win by 30 points. The Tigers scored 92 that day which stands as their highest score so far this season. The Power piled on 18.14 with Todd Marshall booting four.

Richmond has been conceding big numbers to opposition midfielders this year which bodes well for Connor Rozee, Zak Butters, Ollie Wines and Jason Horne-Francis. The Tigers lose the concussed Tim Taranto which leaves their on-ball unit weakened drastically. That is where Port can assert their authority on the contest.

The Tigers were much improved against the Giants last week but conceded 17.6 from 36 inside 50s which does show they are vulnerable at the back if the ball is moved quickly.

With much more on the line, the fact they’re playing at home, a much more damaging midfield and against an opponent that has scored the fewest points competition-wide in 2024, the Power should be getting the job done comfortably.

A spot in the eight is up for grabs and the Power should deliver for their hungry fans.

Tip: Port Adelaide by 33 points.

Trezise had him but was nowhere kept too much space on that occasion.

I think Hopper is leading the turnover tally

Browny did well then with the tap but Kosi too slow trying to pick it up instead of just kicking it off the ground.

14 - 14
