CAMPBELL Heath and Lewis Stevenson haven't played an AFL game between them for two seasons.

But that hasn't diminished Port Adelaide's hopes for the relative unknowns, who landed at Alberton in the last week of trade period.

Both made their AFL debuts in 2010 as defenders, but have struggled to fight their way into the Sydney (Heath) and West Coast (Stevenson) line-ups.

Derailed initially by two knee reconstructions, Heath, 21, found it too hard to work his way past premiership backmen Marty Mattner and Rhyce Shaw.

"It's been a tough road the past few years but I've got some good confidence in my body again," said Heath, who played a full season this year with the Swans reserves in the NEAFL.

"I do feel I'm ready (to play AFL)," said 188cm, 82kg Heath, who possesses an exceptional left-foot kick.

"I had a really consistent year but with the players we had (at Sydney) I just missed out as we had a really strong team."

Stevenson, 189cm and 88kg, played in the past two WAFL premierships with Claremont.

The 23-year-old, who has played 10 AFL matches, was unable to edge his way in front of seasoned Eagles Shannon Hurn and Beau Waters.
