Port Adelaide Power v Geelong Cats; AFL 2019 round 14 match preview and team lists

Port Adelaide Power v Geelong Cats; AFL 2019 round 14 match preview and team lists, GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 22 June 2019
Ben Jensen, 20 June 2019 HARRY TAYLOR has been named to play his two hundred and fiftieth AFL game against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval this Saturday night. Joining him in the milestone match is Cameron Guthrie who will play his one hundred and fiftieth AFL-level match. Esava Ratugolea will miss the trip to Adelaide with a hamstring injury suffered in the Cats’ win over Richmond, replaced by Darcy Fort who will play just his third AFL match.

Port Adelaide has really swung the axe with four players dropped including veterans Paddy Ryder  and Justin Westhoff. Sam Powell-Pepper and Jarrod Lienert were also omitted. Coming in is a handy quartet Brad Ebert, Charlie Dixon, Ollie Wines, Joel Garner.

Taylor was recruited from East Fremantle and made his AFL debut with the Cats in season 2008 as a 21 year old. He won two premierships after playing in the 2008 loss. Guthrie debuted in 2011 as an 18 year old.

In the VFL on Saturday both sides play at GMHBA Stadium; the women play Casey Demons from 11am and the men play Frankston Dolphins at 2pm. The AFL match kicks off at 7:10 Adelaide time, 7:40 Victorian time, broadcast on channel 7, Fox Footy, with radio coverage from K Rock, 3AW, ABC, SEN and Triple M. It is the only match on Saturday night.
