Five players – Bailey Chamberlain, Ed Allan, Aaron Anderson, Connor Fairlie and Lucas Meline – have been added to the 25-man squad.

Nick Steele, from Port Noarlunga, and Lucas Meline, from the Canberra Demons, could make their League debut.

Central District v Adelaide | X Convenience Oval | 2:10pm | SANFL Digital Pass

CENTRAL

Central will make at least one adjustment for its encounter with Adelaide at X Convenience Oval.

Key utility Fraser Fort is out, opening up a potential opportunity for fellow bigmen Wyatt Patterson, Jacob Templeton or Connor Mclean.

That trio have all been listed on the extended interchange bench, which must be trimmed by two before the bounce.

ADELAIDE

Adelaide has opted to rest former Richmond midfielder Daniel Jackson for its clash with Central at X Convenience Oval.

After being rested in Round 2, the Crows’ staffer will again freshen himself up after collecting 21 disposals and six clearances against the Eagles in Round 3.

Forward Ben Davis is also out with injury, with the Crows’ AFL emergencies still to be added to their squad.

South Adelaide v Sturt | Flinders University Stadium | 3:05pm | Channel 7 and 7Plus

SOUTH

South Adelaide will be without exciting teenager Jason Horne for its encounter with Sturt at Flinders University Stadium.

The highly-rated utility is lining up in a match with the AFL Academy this weekend, ensuring he will be South’s certain exclusion against the Double Blues.

Big-bodied midfielders Ben Heaslip and Jess McKinnon have been named as potential replacements while key forward Sam Overall is also on the extended bench after overcoming a back complaint.

Potential debutant Fraser Turner (20, 186cm and 76kg) is also in the mix to play his first League match.

STURT

Sturt is still waiting to learn the severity of Pat Wilson’s shoulder injury while confirming he will miss the game against South at Flinders University Stadium.

The former Crow was sidelined during the second term of his first League game this season last round and has undergone scans to determine his recovery period.

He and fellow exclusion Will Coomblas could be replaced by up to five options included in the 25-man squad.

Key defender Sam Smith (195cm and 94kg)  will certainly be one of these, with the Northern Territory recruit finally making his League debut after injuring his ACL last season.

Launceston recruit Jared Dakin is another potential debutant on the extended bench with premiership forward Josh Hone who has recovered from a hamstring strain.

Forwards Lachlan Burrows and Ash Johnson are also in the mix for selection.

Glenelg v Port Adelaide | ACH Group Stadium | 6:30pm | SANFL Digital Pass

GLENELG

Glenelg could have an unchanged line-up for the second week in succession against Port at ACH Group Stadium.

Uncapped trio Brady Searle (Plympton), Brodie Newman (Wanderers) and Will Chandler (Corowa) have all had their strong Reserves form recognised with being named on the extended nterchange.

Searle (19, 188cm and 88kg) is a versatile midfielder, Newman (20, 193cm and 88kg) a rebounding defender and Chandler (19, 183cm and 74kg) a crumbing half-forward.

Tigers premiership midfielder Brad Agnew will resume from an ankle injury in the Reserves.

PORT

Norwood premiership defender Jace Bode is set to don Port’s prison bars against Glenelg at ACH Group Stadium.

The 33-year-old has been named in the back pocket for the Magpies as he inches within four games of his 200-League match milestone.

Port skipper Cam Sutcliffe has been named at half-forward after booting three goals last round while the Power’s AFL emergencies are still to be added to the squad.

The 2018 premiership goal scorer has been joined in the Roosters’ 25-man squad by Dakota Nixon and potential debutant Kaine Mercovich.
