PORT Adelaide has made three changes to the team that loss to Collingwood last week for Saturday's all-important clash against Sydney at the Adelaide Oval.
Jake Neade has forced his way into the side on the back of an impressive three-goal performance for the Magpies against South Adelaide last weekend.
As expected, Jackson Trengove will make his highly-anticipated return to the Power's line-up after being forced out in Round 15 with an ankle injury.
He'll start in the back pocket alongside Alipate Carlile, who himself returned last week.
Kane Mitchell has also been recalled to the Port Adelaide lineup on the back of an impressive performance for the Magpies in the SANFL in Round 14 and acting as the Power's emergency last week.
Paul Stewart, Ben Newton and Jarman Impey will make way for the incoming trio and will themselves don the black-and-white guernsey for a crucial clash against Central District in the SANFL earlier on Saturday.
Justin Westhoff will also look to recover from a rolled ankle suffered at training on Wednesday night after being named in the Power's 22-man team.
Teammate Jackson Trengove said earlier on Thursday the important running forward would be given every chance to play against the Swans on Saturday night.
Port Adelaide plays Central District in the SANFL at Elizabeth Oval at 2:10pm on Saturday ahead of the blockbuster clash against Sydney at the Adelaide Oval at 7:10pm that night.
