Port Adelaide has named its team for Saturday’s Russell Ebert tribute match against West Adelaide at Hisense Stadium.
It’s the fourth instalment of the special game between the two clubs, which was established in 2022 in memory of the Port Adelaide legend.
Several SANFL-listed players have been named on the extended bench, while Jack Whitlock, Dylan Williams, Will Lorenz and Mani Liddy have been named in the preliminary AFL squad for Sunday’s game against Geelong.
Small forward Benny Barrett comes out of the side after sustaining a syndesmosis injury last weekend in the team’s 15-point loss to Adelaide.
Port Adelaide last played West Adelaide in Round 9 at Alberton Oval, with the Magpies defeating the Bloods by 63 points.
Saturday’s game begins at 2:30pm at Hisense Stadium and can be watched live on the SANFL Now app.
