INS: Dixon, Ladhams, Marshall
OUTS: Garner (omitted), Howard (omitted), Lycett (omitted)
PORT ADELAIDE has made three changes for its important clash with Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Key forward Charlie Dixon returns to the side after a strong performance in the SANFL last weekend, booting three goals in the Magpies’ 28-point win over South Adelaide.
Peter Ladhams has been in outstanding form for the Magpies all year and has been rewarded with another opportunity at AFL level, while Todd Marshall has also been included to face the Bombers to give the Power a new look forward structure.
Scott Lycett has been omitted from the team that lost to Greater Western Sydney by a point in Round 19, and will have an opportunity to freshen up with the Magpies having the SANFL bye this weekend.
Forward Dougal Howard and defender Joel Garner have also both been left out of the side to face the Bombers.
Kane Farrell, Howard, Sam Mayes and Trent McKenzie are the emergencies in Round 20.
Port Adelaide faces Essendon at Marvel Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with the first bounce at 1.15pm ACST.
