Left foot sharpshooter Kane Farrell will return to Port Adelaide's side to take on the Kangaroos.

IN: Farrell, Houston, Motlop

OUT: Bonner (omitted), Ebert (omitted), Westhoff (omitted)

PORT ADELAIDE has made three changes for its Round 16 match against North Melbourne, with Kane Farrell, Dan Houston and Steven Motlop coming back into the side.

Each of the inclusions impressed in a recent match simulation session involving players from Sydney last weekend, with Motlop the pick notching up plenty of possessions and four goals.

Houston returns having served his two-match suspension for breaching the AFL’s COVID-19 protocols.

Going out of the side is defender Riley Bonner and forwards Brad Ebert and Justin Westhoff.

Coach Ken Hinkley confirmed each had been omitted based on form as he looks to settle on his best 22 heading into finals.

Defender Joel Garner has been named among the emergencies, alongside forward Boyd Woodcock, first-year player Miles Bergman and midfielder Willem Drew.

Port Adelaide takes on North Melbourne from 7:40pm AEST / 7:10pm ACST on Saturday night.
