Port Adelaide will be hoping to get their season back on track after a disappointing loss against Gold Coast last weekend when they host Richmond at Adelaide Oval. The Power missed a chance to go inside the top four with a win and dropped back out of the top eight after their defeat against the Suns, but they could regain their place with a win over the lowly Tigers, who sit at the bottom of the ladder. Their forward stocks took a hit, with Jeremy Finlayson ruling out for the season with a lacerated spleen. However, in good news, Todd Marshall avoided any serious damage to his hip. Richmond, on the other hand, put up a good fight against the Giants but was unable to make the most of their territory and clearance dominance. Adem Yze is set to be without Tim Taranto after entering concussion protocols, continuing an injury-riddled season for the Tigers right across the board. Dustin Martin, however, could return for this Saturday’s contest. Port Adelaide won the reverse fixture at the MCG earlier this season, back in Round 2, and would feel confident of recording an all-important victory here.

 

TIP: Port Adelaide by 45 points, Zak Butters 30+ disposals
