Port Adelaide has announced three changes ahead of its Sunday clash against St Kilda.
IN: T Boak 10, L Jones 34, W Lorenz 36
OUT: J Burgoyne, E Ratugolea (injured), J McEntee (omitted)
FOR the second consecutive week, Port Adelaide will have an AFL debutant, with Will Lorenz set to make his first appearance in Power colours.
Claimed with pick 57 at the 2023 AFL national draft, Lorenz has mainly featured on the wing in his nine SANFL games, averaging just under 19 disposals for the season.
The 19-year-old is the grandson of Hawthorn VFL premiership captain and Australian Football Hall of Famer Graham Arthur.
Willie Rioli has come out of the squad with illness, while Travis Boak and Lachie Jones have been added to the team.
Jed McEntee has been omitted from last week’s 23, as have Jase Burgoyne and Esava Ratugolea, with both players managing hamstring concerns.
The tactical substitute will be chosen from the interchange and announced one hour before the bounce.
Dylan Williams, Dante Visentini and McEntee have all been named in the emergencies.
The two clubs last played each other in Anzac Round this year, with the Power beating the Saints by 10 points at Adelaide Oval.
Sunday’s game against the Saints takes place at Marvel Stadium from 12:40pm ACST / 1:10pm AEST.
