PORT ADELAIDE senior coach Ken Hinkley has confirmed Port will take an unchanged line-up into its ANZAC Round clash with North Melbourne on Friday night.
Hinkley has rewarded the side that went to Perth last weekend and defeated West Coast by 42 points at Optus Stadium.
“We will be the same 22 as last week,” Hinkley said at his weekly press conference on Wednesday morning.
“We back in the boys who got the job done last week, was probably the first and singular thought but secondly there has been some good form below.
“There’s some good pressure from below from players and we want that to continue to be that way.
“At the moment the team that’s playing deserve to play again.”
The Power has named Karl Amon, Aidyn Johnson, Jarrod Lienert and Matthew Broadbent as the four AFL emergencies against the Kangaroos.
Any emergency who is not required at AFL level will play for the Magpies on Saturday afternoon.
First bounce for tomorrow night’s huge clash at Adelaide Oval will be at 7.20pm.
INS: Sutcliffe, Frampton, Elsworthy
OUTS: Cox (hamstring), Edwards, Amon (AFL), Johnson (AFL), Lienert (AFL), Broadbent (AFL)
