Four players to make AFL debut for Port

Four players will make their debut for Port Adelaide in Sunday’s AFL match against St Kilda, says Power coach Matthew Primus.

Recruits Brad Ebert and John McCarthy, youngster Chad Wingard and ruckman Jarrad Redden will all face the Saints at AAMI Stadium.

“Four guys pulling on the jumper for the first time is great for us and shows the direction we’re heading,” Primus said on Friday.

“They have all earned their spot.”

Ebert joined Port from West Coast while McCarthy left Collingwood in search of greater opportunities.

Redden was drafted by Port in 2008 while 18-year-old Wingard was the club’s prized No.5 pick in last year’s national draft.

“There is not much of him but he’s a real competitive kid who puts his head over the ball,” Primus said of Wingard.
