AN EMPHATIC statement has been made at the Port Adelaide selection table, with five omissions from the side that lost to the Western Bulldogs last week, and five inclusions from the club’s SANFL ranks.
Matthew Lobbe, Tom Clurey, Andrew Moore and Aaron Young will all play in Friday night’s game against Glenelg at Brighton Road.
LOBBE: Hinkley explains ruck's omission
Sam Colquhoun will be held over as the emergency for the Power’s game on Saturday afternoon at the Adelaide Oval.
They will be replaced by Brendon Ah Chee, Tom Jonas, Nathan Krakouer, Kane Mitchell and Angus Monfries – a quintet of players who performed strongly against North Adelaide last week.
Brendon Ah Chee recently penned a one-year contract extension.
Meantime both Jarrad Redden and Anthony Biemans will miss the Friday night SANFL game.
Redden will be held over as part of his body management program, while Biemans is recovering from a knee injury.
Redden will be available to play against South Adelaide in Round 18.
