Strong SANFL form has been rewarded with Round 9 Power SANFL Player of the Week Matthew Broadbent earning a call-up for his first match for 2010. Joining him in the side will be strong-marking forward Daniel Stewart, who will play just his second AFL game, and Premiership player Josh Carr, who has been prolific in the local league for Glenelg.
Jason Davenport and Daniel Motlop are out through suspension while Jay Schulz has been omitted for the game against his former side.
Port Adelaide will celebrate 140 Years before and after the game on Saturday, with a range of festivities planned. The pre-match will begin at 2.10pm with a 200-strong past player parade while the big screens will show footage from classic Port Adelaide Premierships.
The celebration will continue for supporters and past players alike back at Alberton from 6pm with a special sold-out event in the gymnasium of the recently developed Allan Scott Power Headquarters. Due to popular demand the event has been extended to The Port Club and tickets - just $10 - are still available online here or at the door (subject to capacity).
The club will wear a special patch on the guernsey commemorating 140 Years and you can bid on players’ guernseys now at Power Auctions.
