IN: Jones

OUT: Hayes

PORT ADELAIDE has made a single change to its side for Thursday night’s big game against Richmond with powerful defender Lachie Jones returning to the line-up.

Jones was the unused medical substitute for the club’s win over Essendon before the bye, and has played nine games this season so far.

He comes in at the expense of ruckman Sam Hayes who has been omitted.

Forward Mitch Georgiades, midfielders Sam Mayes and Jackson Mead and defender Martin Frederick have been named as emergencies, and have travelled to Melbourne with the side.

The medical substitute will be named from among the list of emergencies an hour before the first bounce.

Thursday night’s game at the MCG gets underway from 7:20pm AEST / 6:50pm ACST.
