Port Adelaide will make multiple changes to its team to face the Sydney Swans, with a star out due to COVID and mid-season draftee Brynn Teakle to make his debut.
Teakle shone in the SANFL last Saturday totalling three goals, 13 disposals, seven marks and 11 hit outs. His performance was good enough for him to earn a call-up heading into Round 14.
Port coach Kin Hinkley said he is excited to have the 22-year-old in his side.
“We really liked Brynn last weekend and we will bring him in against Sydney. Brynn brings a lot of energy and we’re excited to have him in the side. It’s a great story,” he said.
Mitch Georgiades, Jackson Mead and Marty Frederick will also be included in the line-up.
