AFL-listed recruits Jeremy Finlayson, Josh Sinn, Dante Visentini and Hugh Jackson have been named for their respective SANFL debuts.
Matthew Lokan’s team will also feature former Norwood premiership player Anthony Wilson in a forward pocket, former Woodville-West Torrens midfielder Jackson Lee on a wing and former North Adelaide defender Brayden Kirk in the back pocket.
West Adelaide product Kye Roberts, who makes his way to Port Adelaide through a new SANFL Rookie program, has also been listed on the interchange.
Brothers Trent and Jase Burgoyne have been named to line up alongside each other for the first time for the club after the former’s return to Alberton in the off-season.
