IN: Bonner, Georgiades, Marshall

OUT: Gray (managed), McKenzie (omitted), Teakle (omitted)

FORWARDS Todd Marshall and Mitch Georgiades are among three inclusions for Port Adelaide’s game against Essendon on Sunday.

Defender Riley Bonner also returns to the starting 22, after being the unused medical substitute last week.

Georgiades has played 17 AFL games this season but spent last weekend in the SANFL, where he had 15 disposals and booted 2.2 against Sturt.

The club’s leading goal kicker in 2022, Marshall missed the loss to Richmond while isolating under the health and safety protocols and replaces experienced fellow forward Robbie Gray who is being managed.

Ruckman Brynn Teakle and defender Trent McKenzie have each been omitted, meaning Jeremy Finlayson has been named as first ruck.

McKenzie has been included among the list of emergencies, alongside Ollie Lord, Trent Dumont and Jackson Mead.

The medical substitute will be announced from among the emergencies an hour before Sunday’s 4:40pm AEST / 4:10pm ACST first bounce.
