In: Dowrick, Scholz, Teakle
Out: Keryk, Miller, Stewart
Port Adelaide has made three changes to its line-up for Sunday’s historic Elimination Final against Richmond, including the return of three key players from injury.
Fresh from being named in the AFL Players’ Association 22under22 squad on Wednesday, talented trio Abbey Dowrick, Matilda Scholz and Julia Teakle have all been named to face the Tigers in Port Adelaide’s first ever AFLW final.
Midfielder Dowrick (soreness) and ruck Scholz (calf) missed Sunday’s one-point win over GWS, while Teakle has been sidelined for the last three matches with a knee injury.
Defender Maddy Keryk and mid-forwards Jo Miller and Jasmin Stewart go out of the side.
Keryk and Stewart have been named as emergencies alongside young defender Alissa Brook.
The only other time Port Adelaide has played Richmond in its AFLW history was in week five this season when the Tigers got up at Ikon Park in Melbourne by 21 points.
Since then, the Power has won six games in-a-row.
Sunday’s Second Elimination Final gets underway at 2:35pm with gates open from 1:05pm.
