THE STAKES are high for Port Adelaide after three losses in its past four games.

After a barnstorming first half of the season, the Power have been bumped from first on the ladder to third in the past fortnight and need to regroup to keep a foothold in the race for a top-two spot. Finals are out of the question for Richmond, but pride is on the line.

The Tigers need to regain some respect in their last seven games and they have shown in quarters and halves their best football is competitive. Attention will turn to list management at Punt Road and fringe players will be desperate to show their worth in the run home.
