STURT

Sturt has named a premiership defender despite an injury cloud ahead of its contest against Port on Sunday.

Reliable backman Tom Harms was unable to complete the Round 16 match against Norwood after leaving the field early in the fourth term with an elbow ailment.

Fellow medium-sized defender Rory Illman has been included on a five-man extended interchange bench as the most likely inclusion should Harms be a late withdrawal.

Backman Will Coomblas was relegated to the Reserves.

Victor Harbor product Jesse McKinnon has been named in the forward pocket after starring in the Reserves last round.

One of four inclusions, McKinnon racked up 28 disposals, nine clearances and two goals in the Panthers’ Round 16 seconds win against Central.

A premiership utility will play his first League game for the season against South on Sunday.

EAGLES

Woodville-West Torrens will be without its first-choice ruckman for the encounter with Adelaide on Sunday.
