DEBUTANT Jesse Palmer headlines three changes to the Power’s side to face Melbourne this Saturday night.

After being named an emergency several times, the young forward has earned an AFL callup in the selected team to face the Dees after solid performances with the Magpies throughout 2016.

He’ll be the 161^st player to don the Port Adelaide Guernsey in the AFL.
