Richmond’s recent draw against Fremantle is all that separates them and a top eight spot, with Port Adelaide’s faint finals’ hopes all but flickering in the wind, and speculation circling their coach’s future, leading into Saturday.

Watch live and exclusive here on Kayo and scroll down to catch up on the latest news.

Power v Tigers preview

Three rounds remaining and the Tigers are so close. A comeback of more than 40 points against higher ranked Brisbane Lions at the MCG last Sunday kept them within touching distance of the top eight.

Noah Cumberland’s form in the last month follows Richmond’s rollercoaster, being dismissed as finals contenders to back in the game. Richmond’s last five weeks look like this: win, loss, loss, draw and win.

Port Adelaide need close to a miracle to remain relevant as a finals contender. Starting Saturday, they need to win all of their remaining three matches and hope the teams above them fall like the skaters who gave Steven Bradbury his gold medal 20 years ago.

Add to that a speculation around their coach Ken Hinkley and there is plenty to contend with.

History between Power and Tigers

Since their inception in 1997, Port Adelaide have won 20 of the 36 matches played against Richmond, but lost by 12 points in this season’s first meeting at the MCG.

Just once in their last five meetings has the home side lost and that came in the low-scoring 2020 preliminary final at Adelaide Oval where the eventual premiers reigned supreme.
