The AFL’s preliminary final weekend gets underway as the minor premier Port Adelaide Power take on the reigning premiers in the Richmond Tigers. Check out our handy guide to watching the game live, whether you’re looking to do so via live TV or via a live stream.

The Power have sat atop the AFL ladder at the conclusion of every round this season. They got past Geelong in their qualifying final to progress to the preliminaries, while Richmond knocked off St Kilda to rebound from their first-week loss to Brisbane.

Port Adelaide got the better of the Tigers when they met in the home-and-away season, while the last time these sides played in a final being the famous 2014 elimination final that saw Richmond win the toss, choose to kick against the wind and get obliterated.
