WEEK five action kicks off on Tuesday night when an in-form Richmond hosts Port Adelaide at Ikon Park.

Life doesn't get any easier for the Power, who have to back up from a tough match against North Melbourne with their mid-week fixture against the greatly-improved Tigers side.

Port will unveil its final 2023 draftee in the clash, with defender Alissa Brook named to make her debut, coming into the side for ruck Olivia Levicki.

The Tigers will go in unchanged, assisted by Monday morning's Tribunal appeal, in which midfielder Ellie McKenzie's one-match suspension for a dangerous tackle on Carlton's Dayna Finn was downgraded to a fine.

The Tigers have found control this year with neat ball use, and reliable marking targets inside 50, but importantly, all of that is supported by a far more disciplined and organised defensive structure.

This will be another challenge for the Power's key attacking trio of Gemma Houghton, Ash Saint, and Julia Teakle, who will need to be well supported by smalls like Caitlin Wendland and Justine Mules-Robinson.

The Power's game style typically sees them lose the disposal count, but against the Roos last week, they went minus 105 for disposals, and minus 38 for tackles, which simply gave them no chance at establishing any sort of control.

This is something Richmond will no doubt aim to achieve, winning the ball at the source thanks to a strong midfield contingent, and then maintain chains of possession moving forward from there.

Effort in the contest is something Port Adelaide prides itself on, but improving the connection from that contested strength to genuine attacking opportunities will be crucial, otherwise the Tigers will enjoy the Monique Conti to Katie Brennan transition forward all night.
