Port: $2.25 (9th, 2-0-2, 380 for, 323 against, 117.6%); Ins: Todd Marshall; Outs: Mitch Zadow (Omitted). Saints: $1.63 (14th, 1-0-3, 331 for, 385 against, 86.0%). Ins: Hugh Boxshall, Hunter Clark; Outs: Liam Stocker (Injured), Dougal Howard (Omitted). Sportsbet books accurate at time of collation. Gamble responsibly.
Gather Round concludes with a high-stakes meeting at Adelaide Oval between two clubs aiming to secure their positions in the top half of the ladder Recent Form: Port Adelaide (8th, 2W, 2L) was clinical in their 42-point win over the Tigers, using a dominant third quarter to put the game beyond reach St Kilda Saints (14th, 1W, 3L) are coming off a bye. Their last game was a 33-point loss to Brisbane in Round 3, a match where they struggled to contain the Lions' forward efficiency Key Players: Port Adelaide superstar Zak Butters was tireless in the Round 4 win, leading his side out and finishing with 30 disposals (86% efficiency) and 8 score involvements St Kilda forward Cooper Sharman provided a dynamic target in his last gam against Brisbane, booting 3 goals to be among his side's best performers
Head-to-Head St Kilda won the last H2H meeting in 2025 by 17 points, but Port Adelaide secured a nail-biting 2-point victory in their 2024 encounter in Round 16 Port Adelaide is notoriously difficult to beat during night games at Adelaide Oval, and their superior firepower should eventually break down the Saints' defensive wall TIP: Port Adelaide by 25+
Port: 9th, 2-0-2, 380 for, 323 against, 117.6%. Saints: 14th, 1-0-3, 331 for, 385 against, 86.0%.

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%.

FIRST HOME GAME DAY OF THE YEAR 🍐
The first time in front of the faithful for Josh Carr, let’s get it.
🆚 Essendon
🏟️ Adelaide Oval // Kaurna
⏰ 2.45pm ACDT
#weareportadelaide
Port: $1.37 (16th, 0-0-1, 67 for, 113 against, 59.3%). Ins: Jordon Sweet, Jackson Mead, Jack Lukosius. Outs: Lachie Jones (Injured); Ollie Lord, Dante Visentini (Omitted).

Port Adelaide and Essendon both face a high-pressure Sunday afternoon after disappointing Round 1 defeats Recent Form Port Adelaide suffered a 46-point loss to North in Josh Carr's coaching debut. They struggled for support around stars Zak Butters and Connor Rozee, and were overwhelmed by North's midfield Essendon was dismantled by Hawthorn to the tune of 62 points. They conceded 21 goals and were out-marked inside 50 by a factor of 23–7 Key Players Port's Mitch Georgiades was a lone hand in attack against the Roos, booting 3 of his side's 9 goals and showing consistent target presence Essendon captain Zach Merrett battled tirelessly in the loss, finishing with 32 disposals, 8 score involvements and a goal
Head-to-Head Essendon won the most recent match by 12 points in Round 3, 2025, snapping a long losing streak. Prior to that, Port Adelaide had won 8 head-to-head matches in a row against the Bombers The Power will be desperate to respond in front of their home fans, while the Bombers must urgently fix a defence that has looked porous since early 2025 TIP: Port by 14+
Port: 16th, 0-0-1, 67 for, 113 against, 59.3%; Essendon: 17th, 0-0-1, 83 for, 145 against, 57.2%.
