Richmond Tigers and Port Adelaide Power will renew hostilities at the MCG in AFL Round 2 action this Sunday.
The Tigers picked up a second straight loss to begin the new season as they were beaten by Carlton last week, but they were much, much better than their display in the opening round, pushing the Blues all the way only to end up with a five-point loss.
The hosts will now be aiming for a win here in this clash with Port Adelaide, who opened their account with an impressive 50-point win over West Coast, and they didn't really need to get out of second gear.
