Show Preview

Coming off their bye week, Richmond will be looking to atone for their nail-biting loss to the Swans, while Port Adelaide will be looking to continue their red-hot form after a slow start to the 2022 season. Join The Roar for live scores, coverage and analysis from 7:20pm (AEST).

The visitors have had a solid record recently at the MCG but Richmond continue to have the upper hand on home soil.

Damien Harwick will welcome change into his forward line for tonight’s clash after the majority of goals that were scored against the Swans two weeks ago came from their defence and midfield. Trent Cotchin and Dion Prestia continued their solid form against the Swans leading the possession count for their side. They are up against an up-and-coming Power midfield tonight, so will need to be at their best.

The Tigers are making a few changes coming into tonight’s clash, with the in-form Noah Balta making his return to the side after a couple of weeks on the sidelines. His flexibility and goal awareness has been a staple in the Tigers’ success this season and he will look to continue this form heading into tonight.

Another interesting piece of team news is Jason Castagna being omitted from Damien Hardwick’s side, this is after a relatively quiet patch of form. This is despite premiership forward Kane Lambert being unable to prove his fitness ahead of tonight’s match.

Charlie Dixon was a welcome addition back into the Port Adelaide side a couple of weeks ago, booting two goals on his return to the Power’s forward line. Ollie Wines and Karl Amon were the leading possession winners in the Port midfield in their win over Essendon.

The key piece of team news out of the Port Adelaide camp is that young ruckman Sam Hayes has been omitted, with the Power looking to go smaller in wet conditions. This leaves them without a recognised ruckman for tonight’s game with the ongoing unavailability of Scott Lycett. Ken Hinkley has named Jeremy Finalyson as starting ruck to go up against the Tigers skipper, Toby Nankervis.

The Tigers should win this one by 17 points. Port are lacking a full time ruck and the Tigers have an adjusted forward line.
