A number of AFL listed players will compete for the SANFL Crows in their first trial game against West Adelaide on Saturday.
Wingman Wayne Milera Junior, midfielders Jackson Edwards and Jordan Gallucci and defenders Andy Otten and Kyle Cheney are among those who will play at City Mazda Stadium at 11.30am.
It will be Milera’s first full game back from knee soreness, after only playing a quarter in last Saturday’s intra-club match.
After a strong performance in the midfield during the intra-club, Edwards will play in his first game for the Crows when he lines up on Saturday.
Ben Jarman, Myles Poholke, Ben Davis, Patrick Wilson, Reilly O’Brien, Elliott Himmelberg, Matthew Signorello, Harry Dear and Paul Hunter are the other AFL listed players named.
Draftee Andy McPherson won’t play this weekend, as he recovers from groin soreness.
There are a number of new faces in the team, with development squad members James Loneragan, Corey Davey, Doug Hadden, Aron Asfaha, Tyson Irlam, Aidan Offe and Sam Venning named to play their first game for the Crows.
