ROBBIE Gray and Steven Motlop will put their hands up for selection in the Power’s first JLT clash this Sunday, while three other players will need to prove their fitness to face the Eagles.

After being withdrawn from Thursday’s AFLX side with adductor soreness as a precaution, Gray is back to full health and will available for selection this weekend.

Motlop didn’t take the field for the club’s internal trial on Feb 10 due to groin soreness, but has since returned to full training and is also available for selection.

Forwards Chad Wingard (hamstring), Lindsay Thomas (hamstring soreness) and Todd Marshall (calf) are all a chance to play, but will be monitored during the week to determine their availability to face the Eagles.

Jared Polec injured his hamstring at training in the lead up to the intraclub trial, suffering a muscle tear when receiving contact in a drill. He’ll be sidelined for up to five weeks, with the view to play a Magpies trial game to make a case for selection in Round 1.

Meanwhile Matthew Broadbent successfully underwent surgery to fix an ongoing ankle issue last week and is recovering well.

Port Adelaide will face the West Coast Eagles in their first JLT clash at 3.35pm (WA time) this Sunday, Feb 25 at Leederville Oval.
