The Power will be buoyed by the return of Steven Salopek and David Rodan to the side for the NAB Cup Quarter Final against Geelong at AAMI Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The pair will be joined by young forwards Robbie Gray and Nick Salter, plus defender Michael Pettigrew, who have all been included in the squad of 29.
General Manager - Football Operations Peter Rohde said the inclusions would make it tough to pick a final side, with the Power near full strength.
“It’s great to have Salopek and Rodan back in the side. They'll add some experience and will give us some run and carry through the midfield,” Rohde said.

General Manager - Football Operations Peter Rohde said the inclusions would make it tough to pick a final side, with the Power near full strength.
“Gray and Pettigrew have recovered from minor injuries and will be pushing to make the final side and we see Salter as a long-term prospect and the more game time we can get into him now, the better.
“Peter is out with a corked leg but should be right in the next week or so and Shaun will hopefully be available next week.”
