DRAFTEE Josh Sinn and new recruit Jeremy Finlayson have been included in Port Adelaide’s 26-man squad for Saturday’s AAMI Community Series match against Adelaide at Richmond Oval.

Sinn has impressed across pre-season including in last Friday’s practice game against Gold Coast while Finlayson has been deployed as a tall forward and back-up ruck option.

Ruck Scott Lycett has been named to play despite being withdrawn part-way through the game against the Suns after rolling his ankle and Connor Rozee has also been included after a similar injury in the same game.

Among the extended side are talented youngsters Jed McEntee, Jackson Mead and Lachie Jones, while ruck Sam Hayes has retained his spot in the side that went down last Friday.

Coach Ken Hinkley indicated on Friday morning that 23 players would likely be used but a couple of players will be included in case of injury or player management concerns.

Sam Skinner, Dante Visentini, Martin Frederick and Jake Pasini have been named as emergencies.

The game at Richmond Oval gets underway at 3:40pm, and will be broadcast on Kayo.
