PORT Adelaide will look to the future as it fields a young side against the Western Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon in London (Sunday 2am SA time).
Angus Monfries, Campbell Heath and Jack Hombsch will all make their unofficial Club debuts in the Elastoplast European Challenge at The Oval.
Just seven players - Broadbent, Carlile, Ebert, Logan, Monfries, Stewart and Trengove - have more than 50 games of AFL experience.

General manager - football Peter Rohde said it was a good opportunity for a number of young players to impress new coach Ken Hinkley.
“It’s an exhibition match, but there are plenty of guys who will be keen to make their mark,” Rohde told portadelaidefc.com.au from London.
“It’s a young side but it’ll be a good chance for Ken to have a look at the squad."
The match will consist of 4 x 25 minute quarters with no time on. Teams will field 16 players on each side, with up to seven on the interchange bench. No sub will be used.
Tickets for the game can be purchased online here or at the gate.
