PORT Adelaide's Sam Colquhoun is allowing himself to think of a return to the AFL after a successful return to football in the club's SANFL side.

Colquhoun, 20, was on the fringe of selection early last year before suffering season-ending knee injury in Round 7.

But the former SA MVP at the 2012 championship is growing in confidence after playing in the reserves last weekend and is confident he will soon challenge for selection with the Power.

``It was my first proper hit-out for points against an opposition and it was really great to get out there and be with the boys for a game,'' Colquhoun said. ``I didn't even notice the knee after about 30 seconds.

``You trust the rehab that you've done.

``I felt like I wasn't too far off it and I've done a lot of (match) simulation with the AFL guys.

``I felt quite comfortable out there.''

Colquhoun realises Port is a difficult side to break into: any team that makes a preliminary finals one season will have few openings the next, unless there is a raft of retirements.

Port's side is virtually unchanged from last season; if anything, its additions such as Paddy Ryder from Essendon had made it more difficult to break in.

``Any good side in the AFL has got to have a lot of depth,'' Colquhoun said. ``I'm just taking it week by week ... do what I can to get up to the AFL.''

Colquhoun, who was recruited from Central District, has played 10 AFL matches for Port Adelaide.

Colquhoun, 20, was on the fringe of selection early last year before a season-ending knee injury in round seven.

But he is growing in confidence.

"It was my first proper hit-out for points against an opposition and it was really great to get out there," he said.
