IN: T Boak
OUT: F Evans
LAST WEEK’S SUB: F Evans
TRAVIS BOAK is back in the Port Adelaide line-up for Sunday’s twilight match against Fremantle.
The experienced midfielder missed last week’s win over Greater Western Sydney with illness but will come into the side as the tactical substitute, replacing last week’s sub Francis Evans.
Evans has been named amongst the emergencies, alongside midfielders Jackson Mead and Hugh Jackson.
It’ll be Boak’s 345th AFL game and seventh at Perth’s Optus Stadium.
His inclusion is the only change to the team that beat the Giants by 51 points at Adelaide Oval.
Port Adelaide hasn’t taken on Fremantle since a pre-season hit-out but has won 22 of the 40 meetings between the sides.
First bounce on Sunday is at 2:40pm Western Australian time or 4:10pm in South Australia.
