Port Adelaide enters 2026 with a revitalised outlook as Josh Carr assumed the senior coaching position.
A list overhaul saw the likes of club great Travis Boak retire, with eight other exits over the off-season. However, four fresh faces will don the black and teal, all of whom are mature-age talent, and could impact immediately.
Carr's presence has already been felt at training, as an updated defensive system and shuffle of magnets will see the Alberton club line-up differently by Round 1.
So, let's break down how Port Adelaide will look in 2026...
