PORT ADELAIDE has named an extended 26-man squad for Sunday’s clash with Collingwood at the MCG.
Among the inclusions are defenders Dan Houston and Lachie Jones who have overcome respective shoulder and ankle injuries.
Jarrod Lienert, Sam Mayes, Trent McKenzie and Boyd Woodcock have also been included in the side, which has an extended interchange bench.
There will be at least three changes to last week’s side with defender Martin Frederick being omitted after two weeks as the medical substitute and Tom Clurey and Orazio Fantasia out with injury.
Clurey has had surgery on his broken jaw and will miss six weeks of football, while Fantasia is managing a minor leg complaint.
A trimmed final side will be named on Friday afternoon.
Any player not required at AFL level will be eligible to play at SANFL level for Port Adelaide against North Adelaide on Saturday.
Port Adelaide will take on Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday from 3:20pm AEST / 2:50pm ACST.
