VICTORY over the Saints, an SANFL bye last weekend and a fully fit playing list means Ken Hinkley may err away from making changes for Sunday's big Showdown 43. 

Chad Wingard is the only man on the Power's injury list, with Todd Marshall poised to make his return from a concussion against Glenelg when the Magpies take on South at Alberton on Saturday.

If change comes, it's likely Port will look to inform stocks for replacements. 

Dan Houston, Joe Atley and Logan Austin were all omitted last week, while Brendon Ah Chee and Jimmy Toumpas are among those who have been regular performers with the Magpies.

If not selected, those players will look to the example of Aaron Young, whose impeccable SANFL form earned him a recall against the Saints.

Chad Wingard - ankle (1-3 weeks)
Todd Marshall - concussion (available)

Adelaide Crows

The question over Eddie Betts seemingly hinges on a clearance from his surgeon, following the Crow forward's appendix operation.

His inclusion would be a massive boost for the Crows.

He's not the only Crow pushing for selection. With Brad Crouch and Jake Lever both in the mix as well. 

If Don Pyke looks to swing the axe after Adelaide's come-from-behind win over Collingwood last week, he could also turn to Round 19 travelling emergency Myles Poholke, or in-form SANFL players Harrison Wigg or Jordan Gallucci.
