Port regain pair for Gabba test, Sicily back for Hawks
Jack Lukosius will play his first AFL game since round two as Port Adelaide are boosted for their big Gabba test. Brownlow Medallist Ollie Wines will also return to the Power midfield for Saturday night's away match against second-placed Brisbane. The Power are two games plus percentage outside the top eight and badly need a big scalp if they are to press for the finals. Lukosius fractured his kneecap in round two and starred last week in the SANFL, while Wines has been out of action for the last two games with a knee injury. Defender Darcy Gardiner and premiership player Callum Ah Chee are important inclusions for the Lions. Hawthorn captain James Sicily will return from his hip injury on Saturday night against St Kilda, with midfielder James Worpel (quad) also back. The Hawks were rocked this week with the news that in-form defender Josh Weddle is out for several weeks with a stress reaction in his back, while Sam Butler is also sidelined because of soreness. Injury-plagued Essendon have recalled Jordan Ridley, Sam Durham and veteran ruckman Todd Goldstein for Saturday's match against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium. Among their outs is Darcy Parish (calf), one of the players hurt on the weekend at a training session as their run of soft-tissue injuries continues. Ned Moyle will return for the Suns and go up against Goldstein in the ruck. Geelong are unchanged for their Saturday home twilight match against Richmond, who regained Sam Lalor from a hamstring injury. Richmond defender Josh Gibcus, a top-10 draft pick in 2021, will make his return to action in the VFL after a 15-month lay-off with a knee injury. Meanwhile, slumping Carlton made a whopping six changes for Friday night's match against arch-rivals Collingwood. The Blues dropped Jordan Boyd, Alex Cincotta, Billy Wilson and Lewis Young, while Adam Saad and Jack Silvagni are injured. Brownlow Medallist Tom Mitchell is among four Collingwood inclusions, for his first AFL game in more than a year after recovering from a foot injury. Veteran Magpies onballer Steele Sidebottom is out because of illness among four changes.

Live scores, updates and news from Port Adelaide v Carlton
Port Adelaide veteran Travis Boak will return against Carlton at home on Thursday night as the Power backs in its two-ruck model again at selection. Boak, who has not played at AFL level for three weeks, is among four inclusions off the back of the club's five-day turnaround from the loss to Sydney and a SANFL bye. Key defender Aliir Aliir (knee) is available after a one-game absence, while fellow backman Logan Evans and three-game midfielder Hugh Jackson have been recalled. Utility Miles Bergman (shoulder) has been cleared to play, but Brownlow Medallist Ollie Wines (knee) will miss a second consecutive match. Midfielder Jackson Mead has been demoted for the first time in 2025, joined in the omissions by defender Ryan Burton, tall forward Jeremy Finlayson and draftee Christian Moraes. Port will give Dante Visentini and Jordon Sweet another chance to ruck in tandem despite the latter being subbed out during Brodie Grundy's dominant display last Saturday. 'There's some opportunities for people to come into the side because they're fresh, it's a five-day turnaround and also some of the form of our players has been a little less than consistent,' Power coach Ken Hinkley said. 'One week with two rucks was viewed pretty positively, last week not as positively. 'We've got some evidence on both sides, but we're going to back our players.' Recruit Jack Lukosius will feature for the first time in three months – in the SANFL. Lukosius was sidelined with a fractured kneecap, then a back issue. 'That's a really good story for us,' Hinkley said. 'If he progresses the way he should down there, I'd love to think he'll be coming to Brisbane the week after.' Hinkley said he had spoken to Bergman about telling his Swans opponent, Isaac Heeney, during Saturday's defeat that he was sick. 'If Miles had his time again, he might not go exactly the way he went,' he said. 'But it's such a great learning for a young player, so let's not be critical of a player being somewhat honest and knowing there's a time and place to hold some information.' "I was expecting a pretty hard tag... but he said he was pretty crook." 😆 ðŸ'° Watch #AFLPowerSwans on ch. 504 or stream on Kayo: âœ�ï¸� BLOG ðŸ'¢ MATCH CENTRE — Fox Footy (@FOXFOOTY) June 21, 2025 The Power's finals chances are slim after slipping to a 6-8 record – two wins and 49.4 per cent outside the top eight with nine games remaining. Hinkley said his side would 'stay in the fight', even if the major round became out of reach. 'We'll go right to the end,' he said. 'It doesn't matter what happens in a professional sport, my expectation and our expectation is to turn up and play at our best every chance we get to represent Port Adelaide.' Hinkley forecasted more midfield time for Sam Powell-Pepper against Carlton after finishing in the centre square with Wines out last week. 'He's a ferocious big body and we're coming up against a big-bodied midfield so he'll probably get some time in amongst it,' he said.

Port Adelaide star Ollie Wines considering second surgery to address heart irregularity
Port Adelaide's Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines is considering more heart surgery at the end of the AFL season. Wines suffers from a heart irregularity which sometimes causes palpitations, leading him to be substituted out of three games in the past four seasons. The 30-year-old admits frustration at the condition arising most recently — and forcing his substitution — from Port's away win against Sydney on April 20. That episode followed heart surgery last December in a bid to correct the issue. "I had a procedure back in December and there was 1 per cent likeliness that it wouldn't work," Wines told reporters on Monday. "And unfortunately, I'm in the 1 per cent that it hasn't worked. "So we've gone back to a bit of an intervention plan that we had the previous two years to manage it up to that operation and that is working well so far. "We will reassess at the end of the season to see if we do it again and try a surgical operation." But Wines remained pragmatic about his heart issue. "It was frustrating (to be subbed out against Sydney)," he said. "But, look, at the end of the day, luckily for me it's not life threatening. "And it's something that cost me a game of footy, enough to get subbed out of a game of footy. "So I'm in a really fortunate position. I've got the best cardiologists and doctors around me at the footy club and they've talked me through everything. "So at the moment, it's just this plan that has previously worked. "I've never had an episode when we're using this intervention and once the season ends, we'll assess if I need a procedure again." Wines and his teammates have returned to training after a mid-season bye which came with the Power languishing in 15th spot with four wins and seven losses ahead of meeting GWS in Canberra on Saturday night. Some pundits have blamed Port's fall on the coaching succession plan — head coach Ken Hinkley will step down at season's end and be replaced by long-time assistant Josh Carr. But Wines said from the February announcement of the handover "nothing has changed". "Ken's our coach, he will be for the rest of the year," he said. "And I know he's got a lot of energy and enthusiasm for the job and we'll be there for him.. "Despite not winning a premiership, I think we've always been up there and we've played a lot of finals. "Ken's done a lot for me personally as a footballer and off the field so I'm always going to play for him." AAP
