IN: O Lord 30, W Lorenz 36, M Liddy 50
OUT: S Powell-Pepper 2, E Ratugolea 27, D Visentini 38 (injured)
Port Adelaide has made three forced changes for its Sunday afternoon date with West Coast, with Ollie Lord, Will Lorenz and Mani Liddy coming into the lineup.
Sam Powell-Pepper (ACL), Esava Ratugolea (hamstring) and Dante Visentini (syndesmosis) all suffered serious injuries last weekend, with the trio the only outs for this weekend.
Lord will play his first game since Round 11 after the young forward kicked five straight goals at SANFL level on Sunday.
Lorenz will make his fourth AFL appearance, and second for the year, after enjoying a strong season for the Magpies averaging 20.3 disposals, 4.5 marks and 4.5 tackles from 10 games.
Mid-season draftee Liddy also returns for his fourth opportunity at the top level, while defender-turned-midfielder Bergman will celebrate his 100-game milestone.
The 23-year-old is fresh from signing a two-year contract extension after fast becoming an integral component of the Power’s best 23.
Lord, Lorenz and Liddy have been named on the interchange alongside Josh Sinn and Hugh Jackson, with one of these five players to be named as the tactical substitute an hour before the bounce.
The last time the Power played the Eagles was in Round 1 last season at Adelaide Oval, with Port Adelaide claiming a 50-point win.
Sunday’s game will begin at 4:10pm Adelaide time, and the match will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
