CONCERNS over Liam Jurrah's fitness and dedication have prompted Port Adelaide to invite former Bomber Brent Prismall to training.
Midfielder Prismall, who has played 61 games for Geelong and Essendon since debuting in 2007, trained with the Power today - two days before Jurrah is expected at the club.
The move comes as a surprise after the Bombers publicly committed to re-drafting the just-delisted Prismall at the December 11 pre-season draft.
Port football operations manager Peter Rohde said new coach Ken Hinkley liked Prismall, who he worked with at the Cattery.

"He's an experienced, strong-bodied midfielder who offers some ballwinning ability and leadership to our group,'' Rohde said.
"So he's certainly in the mix for our pre-season draft pick. We'll look at him for a couple of weeks to see what he's got to offer.''
Port picks before Essendon in the pre-season draft but it is understood another club, the Western Bulldogs, also are eyeing Prismall, who did not play an AFL game this year as he recovered from a knee reconstruction.
The Dogs have the selection before Port.

Rohde confirmed former Demon Jurrah - who is living in Adelaide - will attend his first Power training session on Wednesday.
He has told Port he wants to resurrect his AFL career but is understood to have not maintained his fitness, adding to the Power's concern over recruiting him.
Rohde said Central District teenager Sam Colquhoun, surprisingly overlooked at last Thursday's national draft, and "four or five'' Port Magpies players would also train with the club on Wednesday in search of rookie-list spots.
