IN: Gray
OUT: Bonner (omitted)
FORWARD Robbie Gray has been named for his 271st and final AFL game, as the only change to Port Adelaide’s side for Saturday night’s Showdown LII.
Gray announced his retirement after 16 seasons on Tuesday but the five-time Showdown Medallist will bow out with one more chance to add to his glittering record.
Defender Riley Bonner has been omitted from the side which beat Essendon comfortably last weekend.
Bonner has however been included among the list of emergencies, alongside Trent McKenzie, Trent Dumont and Jackson Mead.
The medical substitute will be announced from among the emergencies an hour before Saturday’s 7:00pm first bounce.
The SANFL Showdown will get underway as a curtain raiser at Adelaide Oval from 3:20pm.
