EIGHT players will make their first appearance in a Port Adelaide jumper in the NAB Challenge match against the Crows on Sunday afternoon.
Matt White and Jared Polec will play their first AFL-standard match for the Power after coming via trade from Richmond and Brisbane at the end of the 2013 season.
Preview: NAB Challenge v Adelaide
They will be joined by first-gamers Mason Shaw, Jarman Impey, Mitch Harvey, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Karl Amon and Daniel Flynn.
It’s a youthful side that Port Adelaide will bring to Richmond Oval on Sunday, with Travis Boak, Angus Monfries and Matthew Lobbe the only leadership players in the squad of 29.
The game will provide ample opportunity for Ken Hinkley and his coaching panel to review the form of a number of the club’s mid-tier players with a firm focus on getting a first win for the year over the Power’s cross-town rivals on the board.
Action from Richmond Oval gets underway at 4:10pm (SA Time) and the match will broadcast live on FOX Footy and FIVEaa.
Three players will drop out of the squad of 29 ahead of the match.
