In: Carter, Short

Out: Burgoyne, Lord, Narkle, Visentini (AFL), Hayes (shoulder), Sutcliffe (suspended)

PORT ADELAIDE will look decidedly shorter in the SANFL this weekend with rucks Dante Visentini and Sam Hayes to miss the Showdown against the Crows.

Visentini has been called into the AFL side as cover for Scott Lycett, who is being managed, while Hayes hurt his shoulder in training and won’t face the Crows.

Skipper Cam Sutcliffe will also miss the game at Adelaide Oval as he serves a one-match suspension for striking.

Hard nuts Miller Carter and Murphy Short have come back into the team to add some valuable run and versatility, having each missed last weekend’s win over Sturt.

Jase Burgoyne, Ollie Lord and Quinton Narkle have been called up as AFL emergencies but could feature at SANFL level if not required in the second game of the Showdown double header.

Last time the two sides met, the Crows broke the game open after quarter time and enjoyed a comfortable win in the opening round of the season.

Saturday’s game at Adelaide Oval gets underway at 3:30pm.
