UNLIKELY to make wholesale changes, Port Adelaide will nevertheless rake over its team at selection ahead of this Sunday's historic game in Shanghai.
With literally every senior player to choose from this week (some rookies are, of course, ineligible for selection), selectors have a choice of many players this week.
SANFL form has been good for players like Brendon Ah Chee - a reasonably consistent performer in the state comp for Port over the first five rounds.
Port Adelaide's selection will take place at 5.50pm ACDT on Thursday 11 May.
Port Adelaide injury list as of Monday 8 May
Nathan Krakouer - foot (available)
Matt White - hamstring (available)
Peter Ladhams - general soreness (available)

Gold Coast Suns
AFL Media suggests Sun defender Rory Thompson could be a chance to return from four weeks off with a quad injury. He would make a possible match-up for Charlie Dixon if selected.
Brayden Fiorini might also be considered following a good NEAFL performance, though having just beaten Geelong, the Suns might make no changes at all.
Port Adelaide plays Gold Coast at 1.15pm (CZT)/2.45pm ACST on Sunday 14 May at Jiangwan Stadium.
