Into the 25 man squad for Sunday’s Blues game come Peter Burgoyne, Josh Carr, Brett Ebert, Steven Salopek and Paul Stewart. All five have been named on an extended interchange bench.
Out of the 22 which lost to Fremantle last Sunday are Jason Davenport (adductor) and Nick Salter (omitted).
If selected Carr will play his 200th AFL match (117 Port Adelaide, 83 Fremantle). Carr, Ebert, Salopek and Burgoyne have all played multiple weeks in the SANFL competition.
Football Operations Manager Peter Rohde says the Power has added experience and flexibility to the selection options.
“With Peter Burgoyne, Josh Carr, Steven Salopek and Brett Ebert we have different options to consider over the next 24 hours,” Rohde says.
“All have shown some form in the SANFL, as has Paul Stewart for much of the year.
“Jason Davenport will miss one or two weeks with a strained adductor, which is a shame for him as he was settling nicely into his role.”
The Power squad to face Carlton, as named at 4.30pm on Thursday, is as follows:
B: Hamish Hartlett, Alipate Carlile, Jacob Surjan
HB:Nathan Krakouer, Chad Cornes, Troy Chaplin
C: Shaun Burgoyne, Dom Cassisi, Travis Boak
HF: Robert Gray, Warren Tredrea, David Rodan
F: Matthew Thomas, Brendon Lade, Justin Westhoff
R: Dean Brogan, Kane Cornes, Danyle Pearce
Interchange from: Steven Salopek, Toby Thurstans, Tom Logan, Brett Ebert, Peter Burgoyne, Josh Carr, Paul Stewart
IN: P Burgoyne, Carr, Ebert, Salopek, P Stewart
OUT: Davenport (adductor), Salter (omitted)
