IN: R Burton 3, C Dixon 22
OUT: T Marshall 4 (concussion), W Lorenz 36 (omitted)
Ryan Burton and Charlie Dixon have both been named in Port Adelaide’s 23 for Friday’s Preliminary Final against Sydney.
Burton has proven his fitness following a minor calf complaint last week, while Dixon has recovered from illness, which also kept him out of the Semi-Final side.
Todd Marshall has entered concussion protocols and comes out of the team, while young two-gamer Will Lorenz has been omitted.
Burton, Travis Boak, Francis Evans, Quinton Narkle and Jackson Mead have been named on the bench, with the tactical substitute to be chosen from the interchange and announced one hour before the bounce.
Ken Hinkley is set to coach Port Adelaide for the 274th time, surpassing the club record held by former senior coach Mark Williams.
Port Adelaide last played Sydney in Round 21 at Adelaide Oval, with the Power putting on a dominant display, defeating the visitors by 112 points.
Friday night’s Preliminary Final against the Swans will take place at the SCG from 7:40pm AEST / 7:10pm ACST.
All fans are welcome to join the pre-match NSW Supporter Group function on Friday at the Paddington RSL (220/232 Oxford St) from 4pm.
