PORT ADELAIDE has named an unchanged side for its second JLT Community Series match against North Melbourne on Saturday.
Ruck/forward Paddy Ryder has shaken off a rolled ankle suffered in last week’s loss to Adelaide to be named in the Power’s side.
Draftees Connor Rozee, Zak Butters and Xavier Duursma have retained their spots in the selected side
The game at Alberton Oval starts at 12:40pm.
The home side has named a 26-man squad but has indicated it may trim that number closer to 22 ahead of the game to test its players in conditions more similar to the regular AFL season.
Port Adelaide’s SANFL side will have one forced change for its trial game against South Adelaide on Friday night, with defender Adam Mahney ruled out with a long-term shoulder injury suffered in last week’s win over reigning Premier North Adelaide.
The Magpies will get a big boost with the inclusion of experienced Power defender Matthew Broadbent, who had a week off to manage his load last week following his return to football after a lengthy injury layoff.
New recruits Ben Edwards and Dallas Hill will also have their first run in Port Adelaide colours for 2019.
The Magpies face the Panthers at Flinders University Stadium at Noarlunga from 6:16pm on Friday 8 March.
