SYDNEY could welcome back co-captain Dane Rampe after the defender missed last weekend’s heart-stopping two-point loss to Greater Western Sydney.

Rampe withdrew from the clash against the Giants with bleeding behind his eye but appears likely to make the trip to face Port Adelaide on Saturday afternoon.

Young speedster James Bell has already been a confirmed starter to make his AFL debut against the Power, with the 20-year-old being rewarded for his strong form in the NEAFL this season.

However, superstar Lance Franklin looks unlikely to play in Round 21 as he continues to recover from a hamstring strain, keeping celebrations for his 300th game on hold for yet another week.

Final teams will be announced on Thursday evening, ahead of Saturday’s crucial clash with the Power at Adelaide Oval.
