    Port vs Richmond, 2020 Prelim

    I’ve read the match report and it sounds like it was a dour street fight, at Adelaide Oval. 6.4 vs 6.10.

    Not a lot of outside runner clocking up numbers, but the inside mids seemed to do a lot of heavy lifting. We have our fair share too.

    The Port team from the Prelim loss last year has a few changes, but for the most part is very similar.

    So. Same Prelim game. Same venue. Same team (give or take). Are there any direct or relevant lessons that can be learned from them losing the home Prelim at Adelaide Oval last year?

    Yeah I think it's another battle if we win. Narrow ground. I think we can keep them to a low-ish score, let's see what we do at the other end. Hopefully we go deep and that home crowd ends up giving them jitters.

    It was a war of attrition that game, much like ours versus Brisbane

    Going to be that familiar dynamic where we are battle hardened but weary and they are fresh but rusty

    Hopefully we get the jump on them and fight it out from there
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Apparently Port have watched that tape again this week. Interesting ploy from them…

    Why would they watch an exhibition match back? Did they rewatch their pre-season games back too?

    The memory that stands out to me most, was that when Port were trying to score in the last quarter, Richmond set up well behind the ball and Port rushed and kicked the ball to the likes of Vlaustin and other Richmond defenders regularly. If they were re-watching it this week, I'd imagine some of the conversation was about composure.

    Suits us fine.

    I get why they would do it, but if the pressure is on and they start making mistakes, they've dug a hole to fall into.

    Let's hope we can really test them.

    We have to start well. If they got out to 4 goals to none in the first 15 mins, then that is going to be an extremely hard task to pull back. They’ll have the confidence and the crowd will be ignited.
    I will never see #16 the same!!
