STURT

Sturt has been boosted by the return of a premiership defender for its Elimination Final against Norwood on Saturday.

Long-kicking Tom Harms has recovered from concussion to be named in the back pocket to face the Redlegs.

Harms is the ideal replacement for emerging backman Rory Illman, who is sidelined by a hamstring strain.

The 31-year-old has been joined in the Redlegs’ squad by small forward Cody Szust, who is on the five-man interchange bench.

PORT

Port Adelaide has been strengthened by the inclusion of three key players in each sector of the ground for its Qualifying Final against Adelaide on Saturday night.

Tall forward Todd Marshall, midfielder Willem Drew and long-kicking defender Trent McKenzie all return after lining up in the Power’s final game against Fremantle.

They have been joined in the Magpies’ 23-man squad by SANFL-contracted trio Sam Davidson, Matt Appleton and Jack Elwsworthy.

Davidson will line-up at half-forward while the other pair have been named on the five-man extended interchange bench.

Pacy forward Aidyn Johnson couldn’t be considered due to a one-match suspension for striking from the SANFL Match Review Panel while Steven Motlop, Dougal Howard and Zak Butters aren’t qualified for the SANFL major round.

First-year draftees Chayce Jones and Ned McHenry return to the Crows’ 23-man squad while Darcy Fogarty will be a key focal point in attack.

Experienced defender Andy Otten will be an important inclusion to potentially stand Port dangerman Billy Frampton.

Forward Ben Davis accepted a two-match ban for engaging in rough conduct from the SANFL Match review Panel while Jordan Butts couldn’t be considered due to concussion.

Rory Atkins, Kyle Hartigan, Lachlan Murphy and Reilly O’Brien were unable to be selected as they haven’t qualified for SANFL finals.
