FULL BACK Alipate Carlile will not play in Port Adelaide's NAB Challenge opener against the Crows at Richmond Oval on Sunday.

The 26-year-old was withdrawn from the Power's squad of 29 after club officials confirmed he had quad soreness.

He has been replaced by second-year midfielder Ollie Wines.

The Power will face a similarly-matched Adelaide outfit in the first NAB Challenge match for both clubs this pre-season, which gets underway at Richmond at 4:10pm.

Port Adelaide will confirm its final team 90 minutes before the first bounce.
