In the Mix: Port Adelaide v Gold Coast Suns
Tom Jonas is set to return from suspension this weekend while a number of Suns are set to miss the trip to Adelaide.
Defender Tom Jonas is shaping as a likely inclusion after serving his three-week suspension.
Fellow backman Dom Cassisi will be assessed throughout the week after pulling up from last Saturday's game with hamstring tightness.
Injury Update
Promising form shown from several youngsters in the SANFL will ensure competition for spots is high this week.
Jake Neade continues to make inroads at SANFL level and may be in contention for a senior recall.
Neade had 16 disposals playing across centre-wing, up forward and providing plenty of run down the ground.
Campbell Heath staked his claim for a spot in the line-up when he was named the club’s SANFL Player of the Week for a resounding performance at Woodville-West Torrens.
A defensive forward was assigned to Heath in the second half, such was the damaging impact he had on the first two quarters of his game for the Eagles.
SANFL Report
Youngsters Ben Newton and Aaron Young continued a solid form line in the SANFL and give the club some selection headaches when evaluating the line-up.
Port Adelaide injury list
Dom Cassisi - hamstring soreness (assess)
Brett Ebert - hamstring (2-3 weeks)
Paul Stewart - wrist (3-5 weeks)
Jack Hombsch - cheek (3-5 weeks)

Enemy Lines: Gold Coast Suns
The Suns will be without several key, experienced players this weekend against the Power.
Nathan Bock is set to miss the remainder of the season in a cruel injury blow, while Campbell Brown has failed in his attempt to have a three-match suspension overturned.
Jared Brennan has pushed his claim for selection with a best-on-ground effort in the NEAFL.
He kicked a game-high five goals.
However a host of youngsters are injured for the remainder of the season, meaning the Suns will be without key personnel such as Tom Lynch, Zac Smith and Sam Day.
