SYDNEY SWANS
Two big names should be back this week to bolster the Swans in the run to the finals, Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery.
Franklin was a late withdrawal for last Friday's win over Essendon with knee soreness, while Hannebery is right on the cusp of his first match since round 13.
The midfielder has had a slow, careful recovery from a nasty ankle injury and will give a huge boost to the side if he can regain his place for the trip to face Port Adelaide.
Tom Mitchell returned from a minor knee problem in the reserves last weekend and impressed in about 40 minutes of action. If he can enjoy an injury-free run, he is one player who could force his way into the senior side before the finals series commences.
PORT ADELAIDE
Jackson Trengove will make a much-awaited return from ankle surgery against the Sydney Swans but Matt White (groin) could spend another week on the sidelines.
The foot injury that forced Aaron Young out of the side last weekend will see him miss another match, while John Butcher will miss this week's SANFL outing as he recovers from viral meningitis.
Sam Gray starred again in the SANFL at the weekend with 29 possessions, six tackles and six clearances and Jake Neade enjoyed his best game for some time with three goals. Tom Logan (26 possessions, 12 marks) was also a standout.
