James
boost as recovering Port players queue for selection Advertiser

Ricciuto
rated a good chance Advertiser
Adelaide captain Mark Ricciuto might renew acquaintances
with bitter rival Josh Carr in Showdown XII after all.
Thought to be virtually no chance of playing in Sunday's
AAMI Stadium blockbuster because of a hamstring injury sustained against
Essendon at the weekend, Ricciuto's hopes were yesterday described as
"fairly promising".

A trait of a good side is that it wins when things go
against it and it is not playing well. They stood up and kept at it and kept at
it. Port Adelaide is a good side.
