AFL: Port Adelaide will celebrate huge milestones from coach Ken Hinckley and Travis Boak during their clash against Richmond Tigers.
Richmond looks to kickstart its 2024 campaign after starting it with a pair of losses, while Port Adelaide is hoping to stay undefeated in the new season.
The Tigers are rebounding from a narrow loss to arch-rival Carlton last Thursday, on a night where three players were struck down by injury — Dion Prestia , Tylar Young and Josh Gibcus were ruled out. They then lost Jacob Hopper and Nathan Broad during the week. The Power , on the other hand, started the season on a winning foot after toppling the Eagles at Adelaide Oval in Round 1.

New Zealander Mykelti Lefau, who enjoyed a touching pre-game haka in the Richmond rooms, was elevated into the starting side as a result of the late change, with Judson Clarke coming into the team as the sub.But like they did against West Coast last week, the “wayward” Power blew repeat opportunities in front of goal, letting Richmond off the hook.
