PORT ADELAIDE has named its strongest available side for Saturday's NAB Challenge finale against the Adelaide Crows at AAMI Stadium.
Captain Travis Boak, deputies Matthew Lobbe and Brad Ebert, and fellow leadership players Ollie Wines and Tom Jonas return to the side, along with key position players Alipate Carlile, Justin Westhoff and Jay Schulz.
Livewire midfielder Robbie Gray and veteran Kane Cornes also rejoin the team, along with Jarman Impey who has been cleared to return from minor hamstring soreness.
A range of inexperienced players will come out of the side and are likely to play in the early-Saturday SANFL trial game against the Crows at Alberton Oval, including Mitch Harvey, Dougal Howard, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Jesse Palmer, Johann Wagner and Sam Russell.
Experienced rookies Tom Logan and Nathan Krakouer also come out of the AFL side, as does Andrew Moore who will be held over after suffering a corked hamstring against Richmond last week.
