Posted: Thu May 28, 2015 10:57 pmPORT
Port Adelaide has bolstered its leg speed for the match against Glenelg at Alberton Oval on Sunday.
Power pair Kane Mitchell and Sam Colquhoun return to the 23-man squad while fleet-footed Robbie Young could also add plenty of pace to the line-up.
Defender Cam O’Shea returns to the back pocket while SANFL-contracted Ben Sawford, Jack Haarsma and Zac Hawkins have also been named on the extended interchange bench. Bigman Jonathon Ross has been listed at centre-half back.
Midfielder Sam Gray, backman Tom Clurey and utility Paul Stewart have been called up for AFL duty while John Butcher (knee), Brendon Ah Chee (knee) and Logan Austin (groin) couldn’t be considered due to injury.

GLENELG
Glenelg coach Matt Lokan has swung the axe in preparation for the club’s contest against Port at Alberton on Sunday.
With his side coming off a 112-point loss to West in Round 7, Lokan reacted at the selection table by sending Josh Trembath, Billy Hayes, Hayden Jolly and Ben Nason back to the Reserves.
Key defender Aisea Raikiwasa will miss around six weeks with a broken cheekbone suffered in the clash against the Bloods.
‘’He had to wait a week for the swelling to go down,’’ Glenelg football manager Paul Sandercock said of Raikiwasa.
‘’We certainly haven’t had a lot of luck with our long-term injuries this year.’’
The Bays have been boosted by the return of former St Kilda playmaker Terry Milera, who has overcome a hamstring strain, while veteran Clint Alleway will play his 150th SANFL match.
Inexperienced Brad Merrett, Tim McIntyre and Josh Woodall come into the 23-man squad as does utility Chris Curran and former Bloods bigman Tom Carter (197cm and 100kg) who could play his first league match for the Bays.
