The three-time Saints premiership player was named on the Power’s extended bench when round two teams were announced on Thursday evening.

Port Adelaide, which is coming off a surprise season-opening win over Sydney, will finalise its team to face Fremantle on Friday.

Drew arrived at Alberton Oval via pick 33 in the 2016 AFL national draft after a standout season for TAC Cup club Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

The ball-winning midfielder ran second to Brisbane-bound Hugh McCluggage – another Hampden league export – in the Rebels’ best and fairest count.  He also played for Vic Country at the under 18 national championships. Drew returned to Koroit when his representative commitments finished, earning best-on-ground honours in his third straight Hampden league senior premiership.
