The return of Taylor Walker to Norwood sparked extra interest in the SANFL on the weekend and he responded by kicking seven goals.

The young forward also worked hard on his defensive pressure and played with a good attitude.

Brad Moran was back in action with West Adelaide after missing three weeks with a hamstring strain. He was a bit slow to get going but enjoyed a stint as a midfielder in the second half and finished with 13 disposals.

Brodie Martin found some form with Sturt, despite being on the losing side. Playing on a wing and working hard up and down the ground, he had 19 quality possessions and kicked three goals.

Rookie Aidan Riley continues to impress with Sturt. He had 22 possessions and kicked two goals as a midfielder.

Brad Symes returned to Central District and racked up 28 possessions across half back and on the ball in the win over Woodville-West Torrens. Jared Petrenko started well for the Eagles in a back pocket but faded and finished with 13 possessions.

2010 draftee Jarryd Lyons had 16 disposals for Glenelg, his stoppage work a feature.

Myke Cook started on the bench for South Adelaide and struggled in the first half before switching to half back, where he picked up 20 possessions, broke the lines with his run and carry, and blanketed his opponent.

In the reserves, rookie Lachlan Roach played his best game of the season for North, collecting 24 possessions mainly on a wing. Jake von Bertouch (15 possessions) made the most of limited opportunities as a forward and Sam Martyn had 17 disposals off a wing. Sam Shaw, returning from long-term injuries, had 18 possessions at half back or wing. Will Young (Norwood) hurt a knee and will miss at least a month.
