Port Adelaide have dropped youngsters Jake Neade and Karl Amon for Sundays high-stakes AFL clash with GWS.Coach Ken Hinkley has confirmed the pair will be replaced by speedy wingman Jared Polec and tough midfielder Brad Ebert, who has recovered from a heavy fall two weeks ago which left him with bruised lungs.Journeyman forward John Butcher will fill in for injured star Charlie Dixon, who hurt his ankle in Saturdays win over North Melbourne.Hinkley says Dixons ankle remains heavily swollen but he doesnt expect the key forward to be sidelined for long.Probably over the next four or five days, I think well get an indication as to how hes going, Hinkley said.The moon boot and stuff will disappear and well see how he (bears weight) a bit. That will be significant.I dont think its going to turn into a long-term injury. But if I say two weeks itll end up being four so Im better off to stay on the fence and say `well let you know as soon as we know.Dixon has been a revelation in his first season with Port, booting 30 goals but impressing most with his pressure and workrate.Hinkley said Dixons season should provide a blueprint for 25-year-old Butcher, whose senior opportunities this season have been limited by the Gold Coast recruits strong form.I think its easy for John - hes only got to watch Charlie, Hinkley said.Were not talking about kicking lots of goals, were talking about creating a contest and helping our small forwards operate the best they possibly can.Occasionally you get a chance to take a mark yourself but its more about the work he does for the team than anything else.Ninth-placed Port are battling for finals contention but suffered one of their worst losses of the season last time they faced the fourth-placed Giants, sinking to an 86-point drubbing at Spotless Stadium in round four.With gloomy weather forecast for Sundays twilight game, Hinkley said he would allow himself as much time as possible to consider late changes to suit the conditions.

I think that one is on us for sure.TIP-INSTrail Blazers: Coach Terry Stotts praised the growth of Mason Plumlee as a playmaker.dddddddddddd What we use the most is his playmaking ability, his passing. We give him the freedom to get a rebound and take it up. We play through him out on the perimeter because hes a good passer. He sees the game. I think he helps our perimeter guys get better shots because of his playmaking, passing and rolling, rolling to the weak side. ...

When we see something in practice, when we see another guy might need a rest, I think were always looking at giving our guys opportunities. Yes, youll see him and other guys thrown in there at times. ...
