PORT ADELAIDE will welcome back Willem Drew, Todd Marshall and Trent McKenzie for its SANFL Qualifying Final against Adelaide on Saturday night.
Drew, McKenzie and Marshall were all involved in the Power’s 43-point victory over Fremantle in the final round of the AFL home-and-away season.
All three men have been important for the Magpies in the minor rounds. Drew has averaged 27.6 disposals a game, while McKenzie has averaged 20.4 possessions, and Marshall 15.5 touches and a goal a game.
Magpies contracted players Matt Appleton, Jack Elsworthy and Sam Davidson also come into the squad to face the Crows.
Livewire forward Aidyn Johnson accepted a one-match suspension and will miss Saturday night’s qualifying final, while Riley Grundy has been omitted.
Zak Butters, Dougal Howard and Steven Motlop are the three other exclusions from the side that defeated Central District by 90 points last weekend, as they didn’t qualify for the SANFL finals series.
The Magpies host the Crows at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night, with the first bounce at 7.05pm.
