In: Fantasia

Out: Georgiades (injured), Mayes (omitted)

PORT ADELAIDE has made a single change to its side for Friday night’s blockbuster Qualifying Final against Geelong.

Orazio Fantasia returns to the side after missing the Round 23 win with hamstring tightness while young forward Mitch Georgiades drops out with a similar hamstring injury.

Coach Ken Hinkley on Thursday said he expected the 19-year-old would be available to play next week if required.

Last week’s medical substitute Sam Mayes has dropped back to the emergency list. The other emergencies are Tom Clurey, Sam Powell-Pepper and Boyd Woodcock.

The medical substitute will be named from that group an hour before the game.

Port Adelaide will face the Cats for a spot in an AFL Preliminary Final at Adelaide Oval on Friday night from 7:20pm ACST / 7:50pm AEST.
