IN: Farrell
OUT: Bonner (injured), Dumont (H&S protocols)
KANE FARRELL will return to the Port Adelaide line-up for Saturday’s match against North Melbourne after a week in isolation under the AFL’s health and safety protocols.
Farrell has been named on the interchange bench and replaces midfielder Trent Dumont, who will miss out on playing against his former side after falling under the protocols himself.
After replacing the injured Riley Bonner when he was subbed out of the win over the Western Bulldogs last week, Lachie Jones comes into the starting 22 this week in Bonner’s place.
Forward Orazio Fantasia has been named among the emergencies, having not featured at AFL level this season on the back of knee surgery.
Midfielder Taj Schofield, young forward Ollie Lord and fleet-footed backman Martin Frederick will also travel to Hobart as emergencies with the medical substitute to be named from among that list an hour before the bounce.
The game at Blundstone Arena gets underway from 1:40pm ACST / 2:10pm AEST.
