Port Adelaide could field a near full-strength team in Sunday’s Showdown XXXIX.

Key defender Alipate Carlile will miss the clash with the Crows however, as he continues to recover from back and hip soreness. Carlile was left out of Port’s three-point win over Collingwood and won’t play for several rounds.

“Bobby has had some back and hip issues that flare up from time-to-time,” Port’s Head of High Performance Darren Burgess said on the club’s website.

“He'll miss a couple of weeks while it settles down.”

The Power expect to regain tall duo Tom Jonas and Mitch Harvey, who were forced out of the club’s SANFL clash with quad and groin issues.

The pair will be reviewed during the week.

Matt White has also been ruled out of a potential return this weekend. The speedy wingman is still one or two weeks away after suffering a serious hamstring injury during the Power’s Round 12 loss to Geelong.

Jared Polec remains on the club’s long-term injury list and will miss Showdown XXXIX.
