WITH Port Adelaide having the bye in the opening round of the 2015 SANFL IGA League season, the club has finalised one last trial game against two quality amateur league sides.
With coach Garry Hocking keen to ensure the Magpies kick off their season against South Adelaide in Round 2 with full match fitness, the League and Academy trials under lights at Thebarton will be vital.
Port Adelaide's Academy team will play Prince Alfred at 5:30pm while the League side will battle arguably the state's strongest club outside of the SANFL system, Goodwood, at 7:30pm.
The Saints are the reigning division one champions and won five consecutive flags between 2005 and 2009.
It will conclude a three-game trial match fixture for the Magpies, with other games scheduled against Norwood and the Adelaide Crows.
