In: Bonner, Ladhams
Out: Frederick, Houston, Lycett
PETER LADHAMS has been called upon to fill the void of suspended ruckman Scott Lycett for Port Adelaide’s blockbuster clash with the Western Bulldogs on Saturday night.
Ladhams played the first four games of the season and has built some impressive SANFL form since his last AFL game in the win over Richmond in Round 4.
Backman Dan Houston has also been omitted after reaggravating an AC joint injury from earlier in the year.
Riley Bonner will replace Houston in the side after two impressive SANFL performances since his return from a hamstring injury.
The emergencies include last week’s medical substitute Martin Frederick along with Sam Mayes, defender Trent McKenzie and ruckman Sam Hayes.
The medical substitute will be named from that group of players an hour prior to Saturday night’s first bounce.
The game at Adelaide Oval against the Bulldogs gets underway at 7:10pm ACST.
