THREE players have been brought into Port Adelaide’s team to play the Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium on Saturday night.
Karl Amon, Matthew Lobbe and Aaron Young have been named to play the Suns following two forced and one unforced change.
REMEMBER THIS? Young's crazy taxi ride at Metricon last year
Kane Mitchell will play against West Adelaide after being omitted from the side that defeated Hawthorn last week.
Jake Neade will miss the trip to Carrara due to family reasons.
Jay Schulz will miss with his back complaint recurring.
“Schulzy’s back is playing up again similar to what kept him out of the GWS game, we’ll test him at training next week to see if he’s able to return to play Freo," explained Port Adelaide's head of high performance Darren Burgess.
Meanwhile Luke Reynolds and Mitch Harvey will return for the Magpies against the Bloods in the final game of the SANFL minor round at Alberton on Sunday.
Sean Davidson, Robbie Young (returning from a hamstring) and Johann Wagner have also been named on the extended bench.
Billy Frampton will miss the game with a leg problem, having experienced some knee soreness during the week.
“Billy will certainly miss this week and could also miss next week, but we’ll assess him at training to see how well he responds to having the Bloods game off," Burgess said.
“He’s a young player so we’ll have his long-term interests front and centre with his management.”
Port Adelaide's AFL game access members can see the Magpies v Bloods clash at Alberton for free when they show their membership card at the Bob McLean Gate (Brougham Place) or Russell Ebert Gate (Queen Street) on Sunday.
