WITH the Power’s season opener just five days away and Round 1 team selection looming, all eyes are on who will be included in Port Adelaide’s starting side.
afl.com.au has put forward their best 22 from the Port Adelaide stocks:
PORT ADELAIDE’S BEST 22 according to afl.com.au
B: Jack Hombsch, Alipate Carlile, Jarman Impey
HB: Matthew Broadbent, Jackson Trengove, Jasper Pittard
C: Hamish Hartlett, Travis Boak, Sam Gray
HF: Justin Westhoff, Charlie Dixon, Robbie Gray
F: Jake Neade, Jay Schulz, Chad Wingard
Foll: Matthew Lobbe, Brad Ebert, Ollie Wines
INT: Matt White, Tom Jonas, Brendon Ah Chee, Jared Polec
“The jury is still out as to whether Jimmy Toumpas can make it at AFL level, and as a result he will have to prove he deserves to be included in Port's first-choice 22.
However the former No.4 draft pick displayed some encouraging signs during the NAB Challenge and Power coach Ken Hinkley will be keen to give the ex-Demon opportunities.
Jake Neade has had a strong pre-season and appears to be in the right age demographic to take the next step with his football as a nippy small forward.
Losing Patrick Ryder will hurt, and Charlie Dixon or even Jackson Trengove will be called on to relieve Matthew Lobbe in the ruck.” – Ben Guthrie, afl.com.au
