Adam Treloar will play his first game of the 2025 Toyota AFL season against Port Adelaide at Mars Stadium this Saturday afternoon.

The 32-year-old will be keen to jump straight back into the action after an injury-interrupted pre-season, having cleared his final fitness test on Thursday to become available for selection.

Lachie McNeil will also return after missing the last two games with a hamstring complaint.

The duo come in at the expense of first-year Dogs Josh Dolan (managed) and Cooper Hynes (omitted).

Last week’s debutant Jedd Busslinger has held his spot in the side, while Jason Johannisen will notch up his 200^th career game.

Johannisen was initially drafted as a rookie in 2010 with Pick 39, and has since forged a reputation as a hard-working, speedy and reliable player.

The Johannesburg-born defender was part of Footscray’s 2014 VFL premiership before enjoying the ultimate success with the AFL team in 2016.

He is also the Club’s only Norm Smith Medallist, amassing 33 disposals, nine inside 50s and seven rebounds be judged best afield on the drought-breaking day.

The sub will be chosen from one of Busslinger, Sam Davidson, Lachie McNeil, Adam Treloar and Laith Vandermeer an hour before the first bounce at 1:20pm AEST.

The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.
