Sam Siggins, one of Adelaide’s 2012 draftees, will make his SANFL debut in North Adelaide’s reserves side on Saturday.
The 195cm Tasmanian defender – picked by the Crows with its first national draft selection (No 62 overall – has been held back by a foot issue.
Midfielder Brad Crouch is ready to return from his hamstring strain and will play for West Adelaide in tonight’s clash with Port Adelaide at Richmond. The Magpies have named Graham Johncock in the midfield.
