A BIG WIN over Carlton would suggest few unforced changes this week, but that doesn't mean change won't happen.

Should scans reveal Travis Boak has damaged his hamstring, it's likely the Power will make at least one change.

But life might be easy for selectors, given Hamish Hartlett was a late withdrawal last week.

Senior coach Ken Hinkley reckons Hartlett was a narrow miss from the Carlton game and would push for selection against the Lions.

Jack Hombsch is another who will be pushing hard for a recall, subject to successfully passing a fitness test this week. 

He hasn't played since injuring his knee in Round 2.

Further down the order, Brendon Ah Chee has been in good form in the SANFL, as he continues to press his credentials to the Port coaching panel.

Angus Monfries and Matt Lobbe are also likely SANFL selections if they're declared fit this week,

Port Adelaide's selection will take place at 5.50pm ACDT on Thursday 27 April.

Port Adelaide injury list as of Monday 24 April

Angus Monfries – hamstring (assess)
Matthew Lobbe – hamstring (assess)
Jack Hombsch – knee (assess)
