Port Adelaide
Matthew Lobbe remains one of the key names at Alberton this week. Brad Ebert told the media on Wednesday that the ruckman was progressing well, but wasn’t sure whether he’d be fit to play in Round 3.

Jarman Impey isn’t expected to come up following a hamstring injury against the Swans.

The Magpies had a host of strong performances in their first game for 2015 – a 66-point win over South at Noarlunga.

Sam Colquhoun made a successful return from injury with a typical hard-running performance, while Andrew Moore, Aaron Young and Kane Mitchell all had 20+ possessions.

Brendon Ah Chee was the Peter Jackson SANFL Player of the Week for his 23 disposals, 6 tackles and 2 goals. Rookie-listed Nathan Krakouer also impressed with 23 touches and 2 goals.

Hard-running defender Cam O’Shea, young backman Tom Clurey and veteran Tom Logan could all be considered to replace Jarman Impey.

North Melbourne
The fitness of midfield pair Nick Dal Santo (hamstring) and Daniel Wells (achilles) is still uncertain, with Dal Santo set to see a specialist about the severity of his hamstring injury.

NMFC.com.au reports that Ryan Bastinac would be an obvious replacement for either Dal Santo or Wells. Trent Dumont is also in the mix after an impressive game in the VFL.

Defender Scott Thompson is expected to play along with Jamie Macmillan, who was a late withdrawal against the Lions with achilles soreness.

Robbie Tarrant and Cam Pedersen put in strong performances in the VFL and could possibly replace Thompson should he not recover from his ankle injury.
