Andrew Moore comes into the side replacing forward John Butcher.
The Power's general manager - football Peter Rohde told portadelaidefc.com.au the change was a tactical one given the inclement conditions at the ground.
"The conditions probably favour us playing a little 'smaller' so we've brought Moorey in and taken a tall (Butcher) out," Rohde said.
