Richmond: $2.67 (18th: 0-0-3, 174/305, 55.6%) INS: Kane McAuliffe, Samson Ryan, Nathan Broad, Liam Fawcett; OUTS: Noah Balta, Hugo Ralphsmith, Jasper Alger, Harry Armstrong (all Injured); Port Adelaide: $1.48 (12th; 1-0-2, 290/275 105.5%) INS: Miles Bergman, Ollie Wines, Mitch Zadow; OUTS: Esava Ratugolea (Injured); Will Brodie, Jackson Mead (Omitted). Richmond welcomes Port Adelaide to the MCG in a match where the Tigers must improve their defensive spread following a heavy defeat Richmond Tigers struggled against Fremantle's powerful running in Round 3, falling by 60 points. Their young midfield unit found it difficult to stay in touch once the ball left the contest Port Adelaide are seeking redemption after a heartbreaking two-point loss to West Coast. Despite dominating long stretches of the match, they were unable to stop a late fourth-quarter surge

Richmond’s Steely Green was a bright spot in a difficult game against the Dockers, kicking three goals from 9 disposals Port Adelaide midfielder Zak Butters was tireless in the engine room during the loss to the Eagles, finishing with 30 disposals (83% efficiency) and 11 clearances

The Power have a dominant recent record over the Tigers, winning the last five head-to-head encounters. This includes a 72-point thrashing in Round 2 of the 2025 season at the Adelaide Oval Port Adelaide’s midfield depth should theoretically overwhelm a young Richmond unit. However, the Tigers often perform better at the MCG, and if they can turn the game into a high-pressure scrap, they may catch the Power off guard TIP: Port Adelaide by 32+

Richmond: 18th, 0-0-3, 174/305, 55.6%; Port Adelaide: 12th, 1-0-2, 290/275 105.5%.

Some solace from us buying Kayo via our #GoTiges AFL membership. At least some of the $ is going direct to my Club.

Gamble responsibly

Richmond faces a daunting task against an undefeated Gold Coast team looking to solidify its place at the top of the table Recent Form: Richmond (12th, 0W, 1L) was gallant but inaccurate in a 4-point loss to Carlton, finishing with 9.17 (71). Their ability to generate 26 scoring shots suggests their offensive system is functioning, despite the final result The SUNS (2nd, 2W, 0L) continued their rampage with a 59-point thrashing of West Coast. They average 128 points per game and have outscored their opponents 256–141 across their first two matches Key Players: Richmond debutant Sam Lalor showed glimpses of superstar potential in Round 1, recording 16 high-impact disposals and 2 goals at the MCG Suns midfielder Noah Anderson was everywhere in the win over West Coast, racking up 34 disposals, 5 inside 50s and a goal …

Head-to-Head: The Suns hold the current winning streak after an 84-point demolition of the Tigers in Round 21, 2025. Gold Coast has won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matches against Richmond Richmond's lack of a clinical edge in front of goal could be their undoing against a Suns side that is currently the most lethal transition team in the league TIP: Gold Coast by 32+

Richmond: 12th (0-0-1, 71 for, 75 against, 94.7%) Gold Coast: 2nd (2-0-0, 256 for, 141 against, 181.6%)

Hello a final quarter by the Tigers. Nearly did it. Forward to the Suns game next week now.

#GoTiges

Solid come back in the third. Down by 13. Game on for the final quarter. #GoTiges

What a hit by Rioli. Booom!!

#GoTiges 🐯

Down by 27 at HT. Gotta fight hard in second half and claw back some points. Big third quarter needed.

#GoTiges 🐯

Not great first quarter.

#GoTiges

Villa win. Now miss time to out the Richmond game on.

#GoTiges 🦁

Richmond already played and Villa yet to play today.

Plan for the evening is to watch Villa play LOSC, then watch the recorded Richmond game.

I hope by the end of the evening, I shall have seen two wins.

Probably had momentum and generally played better for much more of the game compared to last year. Wasted opportunities cost us in the end. Plenty to take away and learn from that loss.
