Sloane returns after a month on the sidelines with a detached retina, while Boak missed one game with a minor quad complaint.

In his first Showdown, Port recruit Aliir Aliir is likely to have the tough role of playing on Coleman Medal leader Taylor Walker.

The Power enter the round in third place on the ladder with a 5-2 record, while the Crows sit at 13th with a 3-4 record.
