Sturt lost Matthew Jaensch to the AFL but still has a strong Crows flavor for Sunday’s SANFL game against Glenelg.
The Double Blues will have Angus Graham, Tim McIntyre, Richard Tambling, Rory Atkins, Aidan Riley and Brodie Martin. Jarryd Lyons, an emergency for the Crows, may also return to Glenelg.
Port Adelaide will have Graham Johncock for Saturday’s clash with Norwood if he’s not required to travel to Melbourne with the Crows. The in-form Mitch Grigg has been named in Norwood’s midfield.
South Adelaide named Crows rookie Kyle Hartigan in defence for the game against the Eagles at Noarlunga on Saturday. Nick Joyce, rested last week because of concussion, returns for the Eagles and joins Luke Thompson. But Cam Ellis-Yolmen, who missed last week because of a sore shoulder, will return in the reserves.
Ruckman Ben Dowdell will make his debut for Central District against North at Prospect Oval on Sunday. Dowdell moved from South this week, seeking more opportunities at league level.
Ellis-Yolmen (Eagles), Sam Shaw and Tim Klaosen (Glenelg), Sam Siggins (North) and Dylan Orval (Central) are playing in the reserves this weekend.
West Adelaide has the bye.
