Port Adelaide Power vs Richmond Tigers AFL 2025 Round 2 FAQ’s

Richmond surprised everyone last weekend with a win over Carlton but it was as much Carlton’s loss as it was Richmond’s win. The Tigers had just 40 Inside 50’s which is even lower than their 47 average from last year while also having 82 turnovers in the matchup.

Port Adelaide were not good defensively last week by any stretch of the imagination but their numbers from last season suggest it could be temporary. They were 2nd in the league in Tackles in 2024 and their on-baller trio of Ollie Wines, Jason Horne-Francis and Connor Rozee are elite ball getters that will cause problems for the Tigers.

My expectation in this game is that Port will look to solidify their defensive structures after being blown out last weekend and once they have that under control will look to push the scoring effort against a young Tigers pack that will struggle to keep up.

Take Port to win big, Richmond to go Under their Team Total, Jack Lukosius to kick 3 and Wines to get 30+ disposals.

Richmond lost 10 of their last 17 games last season by 40+ points.
The Tigers averaged just 65 pts per game in 2024 and will be without their best goalkicker in Tom Lynch.
Jack Lukosius kicked 5 goals in 2 games for the Suns against Richmond last year.
Ollie Wines had 34 touches last weekend and 32 in his most recent game against the Tigers.

Head to Head

Port Adelaide have won the last 4 games in a row against Richmond and have taken 6 of the last 11 games dating back to the start of the 2019 season which includes a finals match in 2020 which was won by the Tigers.

The 2 most recent games and 6 of the last 11 have gone Over the Game Total while only the most recent matchup a 116-75 win for the Port Adelaide Power has gone over 40+ win margin.

Port weren’t much chop last weekend going down by 91 pts to Collingwood at the G. Their backline looked vulnerable as the Pies scored at will throughout the game, at quarter time Port were already 12 Inside 50’s in the hole compared to their opponents.

Jason Horne-Francis tried valiantly to lift his team but the relentless pressure forced the Power into errors leading to 79 turnovers for the game. Thirteen Port Adelaide players had 1 tackle or less in the game which can definitely be classed as embarrassing for a team that were 2nd in the league in Tackles last season with 64.7 per game.

Connor Rozee and Ollie Wines both saw a lot of ball getting 30+ touches each, Wines also contributing with 10 clearances in the game.

The Tigers had one of the biggest upsets in recent Australian sports history last week taking the chocolates from Carlton in a 82-69 effort to kick off the season.

Richmond were favourites to take the wooden spoon this season and early on it looked to be the correct placing of the team. Carlton led by 41 points in the 2nd quarter but the Tigers chipped away through the middle of the game and tied it up after the siren heading into the final break then managed to hold on for the win.

Four Tigers players scored 2 goals each while Tim Taranto picked up 30 disposals and 8 clearances in the game. Richmond had just 40 Inside 50’s in the matchup compared to Carlton’s 65 pointing to some inefficiencies by their opponent.
