Port Adelaide Football Club,SANFL Competition,AFL-Listed Clubs

The Port Adelaide Football Club will once again lead the way in trying to achieve ‘equalisation’ for their reserves side, with continued plans to exit the SANFL competition they have been a part of for 155 years. With the public backing of rival club the Adelaide Crows, as well as Western Australia’s West Coast, the trio – potentially along with Fremantle – seem primed to join the other 14 AFL-listed clubs in a joint competition sooner rather than later. Fremantle, who are aligned with proud WAFL club the Peel Thunder, are the outlier in the pack of four clubs yet to join the VFL, having kept a less public profile on the matter. However, it is understood that Peel would be in support of a national competition, in a move that would allow them to showcase their own homegrown talent without intervening on the best interests of Fremantle’s AFL side. Peel chief executive Paul Lekias spoke on the issue last year, emphasising that the move would not necessarily be an easy one

Richmond Tigers under pressure against Port AdelaideThe Tigers are looking good when they move it fast - they had Port Adelaide under big pressure inside 50, but Aliir Aliir got the ball clear after about five false starts there. They keep the pressure up, though and force a throw-in in the right forward pocket. It ends up bouncing for Dustin Martin, who spears a pass inbound to Daniel Rioli, who marks in front. Richmond is playing better, they've dragged the inside 50 deficit back to 20-23. The Tigers are leading the clearances 12-10, and edging contested possessions 49-45. The big issue for the home side is marks inside 50. The Power have seven to Richmond's one. If that trend continues, surely Port Adelaide will make them pay
