portadelaidefc.com.au takes a look at who’s in the mix to play in the Power’s clash against the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval this Saturday.

Port Adelaide

With an injury-free win at the ‘G on Sunday, there will be no forced changes to the Power’s side to face the Bulldogs this weekend.

Ken Hinkley was pleased with Round 11 debutant Logan Austin’s game, and with key defender Jack Hombsch still sidelined with a hamstring complaint, Austin is likely to keep his position in the top side this week.

Depending on match-ups, big-bodied midfielder Brendon Ah Chee could receive a call up to face the young Dogs outfit – he has been a regular face in the AFL team this year and starred in the SANFL last week, earning praise from coach Chad Cornes.

Karl Amon is also in the mix, having already played six AFL games in 2016 and travelling with the team as an emergency last week.

Alipate Carlile and Robbie Young will come out of the Magpies’ side after suffering respective knee and collarbone injuries during the SANFL clash with Glenelg, while Jimmy Toumpas will need to pass fitness testing this week following an ankle complaint.

Toby McLean will be forced out of the Round 12 Bulldogs side thanks to a mid foot sprain obtained in their clash with West Coast.

The small forward will be sidelined in a moon boot for a “lengthy stint” according to the club’s website.

The Bulldogs have also confirmed acting skipper Easton Wood won’t face the Power this week, as he recovers from a a hamstring strained during training in the lead up to their clash with the Eagles.

Young utility Lukas Webb and experienced campaigner Jed Adcock are in the mix after outstanding performances in the VFL with 29 and 23 touches respectively.

Mid/forward Mitch Honeychurch is another option to come in for McLean – he was named in the emergencies last week, indicating he’s on the horizon for an AFL call-up.

Midfielder Clay Smith is set for a return this week after overcoming lengthy knee rehab, but he’ll come back through the club’s VFL side.
