Selection: Dixon back for Gold Coast clash

Must read

Key forward Charlie Dixon will return to face his old side at People First Stadium.

IN: C Dixon 22  

OUT: M Georgiades 19 (suspended) 

Charlie Dixon will play his first AFL game since Round 12 this Sunday, with the key forward confirmed to take the place of the suspended Mitch Georgiades.  

A fit Dixon will be firing and ready to go against his former club, having spent a stint on the sidelines while serving a three-match suspension handed down from the SANFL Match Review Panel. 

A near-unchanged Port Adelaide team will be hoping to break Gold Coast’s winning streak at home, with the Suns on an unbeaten run at People First Stadium in 2024. 

Fresh from signing a two-year contract extension during the week, Jackson Mead leads an interchange that also includes Jase Burgoyne, Francis Evans, Lachie Jones and Quinton Narkle, with the tactical substitute to be selected from the bench and revealed one hour before the bounce. 

The Power last took on the Suns in Round 17 last year at Adelaide Oval, with the home side winning by 33 points. 

Sunday’s game against the Sun will take place at People First Stadium from 12:40pm ACST / 1:10pm AEST.

Two supporter events are open to local fans and those travelling to the Gold Coast, including Saturday’s captain’s run and a pre-match function. Details are listed below.
