AFL teams: Who’s in and out for Round 18 of the 2020 AFL season

Solid form in a scratch match against Gold Coast has earned Jaidyn Stephenson a recall as Port Adelaide makes two changes in its bid to claim the minor premiership. SEE THE FULL TEAMS

Jaidyn Stephenson returns to the Magpies line-up for Round 18.

Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley has made two changes to his side to face Collingwood at The Gabba on Monday night as it aims to secure the AFL’s minor premiership.

Defender Jarrod Lienert will come in for the injured Tom Clurey, while dynamic small forward Boyd Woodcock will replace Kane Farrell, who has been dropped.

But retiring veteran Justin Westhoff will be forced to wait until finals to see if he can break his way back into the Power team for a farewell game.

Collingwood has made one change, with Jaidyn Stephenson returning to the side, replacing Callum Brown.

Hinkley said Westhoff was a travelling emergency.

“He’s in the travelling party, so he’s going, so he’s not far away at all, but the areas we’re looking for are small forward, Westy’s probably not that, and to be fair to Jarrod Lienert who’s played in the backline this year, when he’s played he’s played really good footy, so he probably deserves first crack at the backline,” he said.

Hinkley described Woodcock’s performance this year as “quite remarkable”.

“He’s going into his fifth game this week and it’s a great story when you consider how far back he was at the start of the year,” he said.

“COVID’s been good for Boyd, as silly as that sounds, he’s made the most of the extended breaks we’ve had throughout this season and he’s put himself in the frame as an AFL player now.”

Hinkley said leading into the October finals’ series, there was no temptation to rest any of his players.

“We’re not looking to do any of that, we want to compete right until the end of the home-and-away season and set ourselves up well hopefully for a strong finals performance,” he said.

ood and how important he is, but we’ve got Ladhams also to back up and help,” he said.

Stephenson returns after a solid three-quarter effort against the Suns in a scratch match last weekend.

Coach Nathan Buckley said the 23-year-old has used his game time in the practice match to hone elements of his game that needed improving.

Buckley said he was confident heading into the game.

“I feel like we’re in really good shape, we believe we’ve been able to establish more consistency in our transition of the football and our contest and stoppage work,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to testing that against a really good team.”
