INS: Drew, Ladhams
OUTS: Amon (suspended), Howard (suspended)

PORT ADELAIDE senior coach Ken Hinkley has confirmed the inclusions of midfielder Willem Drew and ruckman Peter Ladhams for Saturday night’s clash with the Western Bulldogs.

Hinkley says both Drew and Ladhams have been in outstanding form in the SANFL, and have both been unlucky not to play more senior football this season.

"Their form has been first-class,” Hinkley said at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.

"Both boys all season have played as good as they've ever played.

"They're in great form, so it gives them an opportunity to play a role that we need them to play.”

Drew has averaged 29 disposals a game in his four games for the Magpies, and has kicked three goals, while Ladhams is averaging 27 hit-outs, 22 touches and just under a goal a game.

They will replace Karl Amon and Dougal Howard who were both suspended for one game for separate incidents during last weekend’s 11-point victory over Geelong.

Tom Rockliff, Trent McKenzie, Todd Marshall and mid-year draftee Cam Sutcliffe are the four emergencies.

Any player who is not required at AFL level will be available for Port’s SANFL clash with North Adelaide at Prospect Oval on Saturday afternoon.

The Power host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night, with the first bounce commencing at 7.10pm.

INS: Westhoff, Powell-Pepper, Ryder, Lienert, Strange, Corcoran, Davidson, Appleton
OUTS:
Garner (AFL), Ebert (AFL), Dixon (AFL), Wines (AFL), Sutcliffe (AFL), McKenzie (AFL), Marshall (AFL)

THE MAGPIES will be boosted by the inclusion of plenty of AFL experience with Jarrod Lienert, Sam Powell-Pepper, Paddy Ryder and Justin Westhoff all named.

All four players will be fresh from the bye and keen to impress against North Adelaide at Prospect Oval, in a bid to return to the Power line-up.

Matthew Appleton, Tom Corcoran, Sam Davidson and Jack Strange will also all return to face the Roosters in Round 11.

There are a number of outs from the side that defeated Norwood by 45 points at Alberton Oval a fortnight ago.

Charlie Dixon, Brad Ebert and Ollie Wines all played in the AFL last weekend, while Marshall, McKenzie and Sutcliffe are all named as emergencies for the Power this weekend.

The Magpies will travel to Prospect Oval to face the Roosters in the big clash commencing at 2.40pm on Saturday afternoon.
