EIGHT new players headline Port Adelaide’s experienced squad ahead of their JLT Community Series clash with West Coast at Leederville Oval on Sunday evening.

The 30-man squad – which will be trimmed to 26 players tomorrow afternoon – includes new recruits Jack Watts, Jack Trengove, Steven Motlop, Lindsay Thomas and Trent McKenzie, as well as, new draftees Dom Barry, Kane Farrell and Jake Patmore.

Watts has already had an impact in his short stint at Alberton, leading the young AFLX squad at Coopers Stadium in the league’s inaugural tournament last week.

Motlop nominated the Power as his destination of choice during last year’s free agency period, and has trained strongly since joining Port Adelaide – this could be his first competitive game for the club. 

Trengove and McKenzie were picked up as delisted free agents last year and both impressed at the club’s annual Family Day intra-club clash earlier this month.

Barry and youngsters Farrell and Patmore were all selected in the 2017 National Draft, and could get a run at the elite level this Sunday if selected in the final team.

Lindsay Thomas – picked up in the 2017 Rookie Draft – has also been named in the side and is a chance to hit the turf on Sunday.

The Power will also bring plenty of experience to Leederville with the inclusion of familiar faces Travis Boak, Ollie Wines, Robbie Gray, Hamish Hartlett, Paddy Ryder, Charlie Dixon and Brad Ebert.

Tom Rockliff will be rested as a precaution this week after reporting some knee soreness. Sam Gray also won’t make the trip to Leederville – he’ll sit out Sunday’s clash after playing in the AFLX tournament last week, as part of his management.

The match will be broadcast on Fox Footy from 6.00pm (CDT).
