THE Power has made three changes ahead of Sunday’s clash with Sydney, welcoming back Steven Salopek from injury and including in-form youngsters Marlon Motlop and Matt Westhoff.

Nathan Krakouer has been forced out of the side with injury, while David Rodan and Jason Davenport have been omitted.

General Manager – Football Operations Peter Rohde said Motlop and Westhoff had forced their way into the side with great form in the SANFL.

“Marlon has been in terrific form and has probably been a bit unlucky not to be in the side all year,” Rohde said. “He’s improved physically on last year – he’s bigger and fitter – and he can play anywhere on the park.

“Matt Westhoff is coming off a five goal haul against the Magpies in the local league and has been consistently kicking goals. We’ve had a smaller team since his brother Justin went out with injury, but we think his height could be an asset on the smaller SCG.

“Krakouer's form has been down a bit over the past couple of weeks because he hasn’t been quite right. He’s a young guy who’s had a history of injuries, so we think a week off is exactly what he needs.

“We were happy with some of the things we saw from Jase Davenport, but with Sal coming back in and the depth we’ve got in the midfield, he’s been forced out of the side.

“Rodan’s form has been a bit inconsistent since he came back into the side. He’ll go back to the local league and try to find some form and consistency and hopefully he’ll be back in the side soon.”

The Power will hold their final training session for the week tomorrow at the SCG from 2.30pm.
