IN: Boak, Bonner, Clurey, Finlayson
OUT: Burton (suspended), Burgoyne, Georgiades, Fantasia (omitted)
Port Adelaide has made four changes to its team for Showdown LIII at Adelaide Oval this Saturday, with the side set to pay homage to its history by wearing the famous Prison Bar guernsey.
Jeremy Finlayson, Tom Clurey and Riley Bonner will have their first tastes of AFL football for 2023, while Travis Boak returns to the starting 22 after being the tactical substitute last weekend.
Finlayson will re-join the forward line following a rough start to the season with a syndesmosis injury, with the 27-year-old back fit and firing after surgery and two weeks of SANFL trial games.
With Ryan Burton serving a two-match suspension, Clurey will replace him in the backline, while Bonner has earned his spot with a 27-disposal outing for the Magpies last Sunday.
Mitch Georgiades, Orazio Fantasia and Jase Burgoyne have been omitted from the side.
Fantasia and Burgoyne, along with ruck Brynn Teakle and midfielder Jackson Mead, have been named as emergencies.
The tactical substitute will be named from among the emergencies one hour before the first bounce at 7pm.
