Richmond's 2024 AFLW campaign has come to a close after a 24-point elimination final loss to Port Adelaide.

In front of a raucous Alberton Oval crowd, the Power now won their first AFLW final in their third season in the competition, their high-octane gameplay in the 11.6 (72) to 7.6 (48) result a bridge too far for the Tigers.

Lauren Arnell's side recorded its second-highest score in the process.

Gemma Houghton continued her winning ways from last week's sealer, kicking the opening goal in front of a heaving Port Adelaide grandstand, before delivering the final nail in Richmond's coffin with a sharp over-the-shoulder effort in the last term.

The nerves seemed to hit Richmond early, the players fumbling and miskicking disposals they would normally nail, while Port Adelaide thrived on the finals adrenaline, the surge game style catching the Tigers' defence out time and time again.

The Tigers converted their first through skipper Katie Brennan, who finished with two goals.

It looked as though Richmond had managed to scrape back a goal in the second term, until winger Ella Boag's hard running was rewarded with a major on the buzzer, finding space on the outside after the Tigers had controlled most of the quarter.

A Caitlin Greiser brace to open the second half temporarily made a game of it, but weight of numbers was far too strong Port Adelaide's way, the forward line working beautifully together to set each other up in space with short and sharp kicks.

Simply put, Port Adelaide had an answer (with interest) for everything Richmond threw at it, applying plenty of pressure and converting its opportunities.

Matilda Scholz had the better of a tough ruck battle with Poppy Kelly, most importantly recording a game-high eight clearances, while partner-in-crime Abbey Dowrick was the pick of a strong midfield, sending the ball forward time and time again.

Brennan's day finished 10 minutes early with a hamstring complaint.
