STURT

Sturt has named premiership defender Byron Sumner ahead of schedule for its match against Adelaide on Saturday.

Sumner, who copped a jaw injury against Port in Round 9, was initially expected to miss four weeks but could return a week earlier if he takes his place in the final 21.

The former Sydney Swan is one of three inclusions for the Double Blues’ 23-man squad, with tall forward Hugo Munn and utility Joel Thiele also earning a call up.

Munn has been named to start at centre-haf forward while Thiele, named on the extended interchange bench, could play his first Statewide Super League game of the year after playing 10 in the Reserves for 2019.

NORTH

North Adelaide has been hit by hamstring issues ahead of its clash with Port on Saturday.

Former captain Mitch Clisby and sharpshooting forward Keenan Ramsey both injured their hamstrings against Sturt in Round 10.

The return of premiership bigman Alex Barns will assist in the absence of Ramsey, with Barns overcoming a shoulder complaint.

Jared Deep has been included on the four-man extended interchange bench while Lee Minervini will play his first Statewide Super League game since Round 17 2017.

A very different Port Adelaide outfit will confront North Adelaide at Prospect on Saturday.

Since the Magpies’ win against Norwood on June 16, Charlie Dixon, Ollie Wines, Brad Ebert and Joel Garner have been called up for AFL duty.

This will ensure that Paddy Ryder makes his Statewide Super League debut while Justin Westhoff will play his first Statewide Super League game since lining up with original club Central District in Round 13 2010.

Midfielder Sam Powell-Pepper will play his first SANFL match for the Magpies since Round 18 last season.

Defender Jarrad Lienert has been joined in the 19-player list by SANFL-contracted quartet Sam Davidson, Matt Appleton, Tom Corcoran and Jack Strange.

Magpies captain Cam Sutcliffe, recruited from Fremantle, could play his first game for the Power after being called up to the extended squad in the AFL.

Exciting goalsneaks Gibson Turner and Ken Karpany have returned to the starting 18 after being named inside the Bloods’ attacking 50m arc.

Dashing half-back Emmanuel Irra has also been included in the 23-man squad, with the former Power rookie named on a five-man extended interchange bench.
