Port Adelaide has received a significant boost for Saturday night’s clash with Carlton by regaining Michael Wilson and Dean Brogan from injury.

Wilson hasn’t played since tearing a muscle in his chest in the Round 5 game against St Kilda. Until then he had added much toughness to the Power midfield and half-back line.

Brogan has had an ankle problem since the Round 3 clash with the Crows, which has seen him miss five of ten games this year.

Exciting teenager Nathan Krakouer has been recalled after being an emergency last week. It will be his ninth AFL game. He will be joining fellow first-year players Justin Westhoff and Robbie Gray in the side after they retained their spots in the team and will play their second AFL game.

The match committee had to make some tough decisions to get Wilson, Brogan and Krakouer back in.

Impressive utility Greg Bentley, back-up ruckman Fabian Deluca and the experienced Nathan Lonie have been dropped. Matt Thomas, who was eligible for selection after a week’s suspension, was not recalled.

The return of Wilson and Brogan leaves just Troy Chaplin (foot), Tom Logan (ankle) and Daniel Motlop (collarbone) unavailable for selection at Port Adelaide.

The Power trains at midday at Alberton Oval before heading straight to the airport in preparation for Saturday night’s clash at the Telstra Dome.
