AT least three changes are expected by the time Port Adelaide announces its side for Saturday night’s clash with Richmond.

Defender Lachie Jones is working his way through the concussion protocols after a nasty collision in last week’s game against Gold Coast and fellow backman Kane Farrell will also miss the game with a low-grade hamstring strain.

They’ll join forward Jeremy Finlayson on the sideline, after it was confirmed he would sit out the rest of the season with a minor spleen laceration.

With Todd Marshall also in doubt due to a hip injury, a significantly different Power outfit to last week’s could take to Adelaide Oval.

Mitch Georgiades is an obvious replacement for Finlayson in the forward line, having served his one-match suspension, while assistant coach Tyson Goldsack on Tuesday confirmed Willie Rioli’s name would be discussed at the match committee meeting following a strong performance in the SANFL in his first game back after a five-week absence.

Rioli booted three goals from his 10 disposals, won four clearances and laid six tackles, working hard to keep the ball in Port Adelaide’s forward line.

Defender Esava Ratugolea led the Magpies for rebound 50s withi seven, and he looked composed in the backline with 14 disposals and six marks.

Dylan Williams continued his strong form across half back, collecting 18 touches, while ruck Dante Visentini impressed for a third straight week with a mammoth 54 hit-outs to go with six clearances, seven tackles and 13 disposals.

Jed McEntee had 10 disposals and four tackles playing managed minutes before flying to the Gold Coast to be an AFL emergency alongside Will Lorenz, who has been close to playing his second AFL game.

Defenders Josh Sinn, Ryan Burton and Trent McKenzie are also expected to be cleared to play after respective injury layoffs and may be brought straight back into the AFL side if required.

Port Adelaide will on this evening name its side for Saturday’s game against the Tigers, which gets underway at 7pm.
