PORT Adelaide'skey quartet of Jay Schulz, Robbie Gray, Jackson Trengove and Alipate Carlile isall fit and available for Sunday's round one clash against Carlton at EtihadStadium.
Power coach KenHinkley said forwards Schulz and Gray had recovered from foot and back issuesand would play, but he was less definitive on the chances of Trengove (knee)and Carlile (quad) taking their spots.
The defensive duohasn't played a game this pre-season and with impressive form from competingtall defenders Tom Clurey and Jack Hombsch, Hinkley said season 2014 wouldbegin with a selection headache.
"'Bobby'(Carlile) and 'Jacko' (Trengove) are the two that we have to make a realdecision on because Schulzy and Robbie are no-brainers, they missed one week –they're going to play, there's no problems there," Hinkley said.
"I've gotmore of a problem with how many (tall defenders) we should and shouldn't takeinto the game in round one.
"It's justmore management about what the team's going to look like and how we want it tolook."
Hinkley describedthe Power as a club "on its knees" in the lead up to its round onegame last year against Melbourne, having struggled through two dismal seasons,seen the departure of a coach and the death of a much-loved player.
The side went onto surprise every football fan in the country as it surged to a top-eightfinish before upsetting Collingwood in an elimination final.
The club findsitself in a much better position both on-field and off it this year, butHinkley said his message to his players wouldn't change.
"Expectationand all those things change slightly, but for us, what we expect of each otherdoesn't change at all," he said.
"We'reprobably a little bit better prepared, if I'm being totally honest, in far aswe understand more about what we're trying to do.
"We'll be nodifferent going into round one, we'll be going in there with a pretty strongdesire to perform well and compete really hard, and hopefully at the end of theday the result will be where we want it."
