Lewis Johnston, Mitch Grigg and Jared Petrenko are among up to 19 Crows players cleared to play for their SANFL clubs this week, or in the upcoming finals series.
Under SANFL rules, Johnston, Grigg and Ian Callinan are ineligible to play in the local league this weekend having played the past two games for Adelaide. But the trio will line-up for their respective clubs when SANFL finals start next week. Petrenko (soreness) will also be unavailable this week, but should be fit for Woodville-West Torrens’ first final.
Young defenders Cam Ellis-Yolmen and Sam Siggins, and rookie-listed ruckman Jack Osborn are free to play, as are Luke Thompson (ankle), Ben Dowdell (ribs) and Dylan Orval (hamstring) when they recover from injury.
Angus Graham, Tim McIntyre, Rory Atkins, Matthew Jaensch, Brodie Martin, Shaun McKernan and Sam Shaw are also available to play this week, but their SANFL clubs haven’t qualified for finals. Young onballer Jarryd Lyons is unlikely to play for Glenelg on Saturday because of a sore hip.
Of the Crows to qualify to play finals with their SANFL clubs, only Brad Crouch (Achilles), Matthew Wright (toe) and Jason Porplyzia (shoulder) are unavailable.
