Round 8 Statewide Super League Teams

WEST

West Adelaide coach Gavin Colville could start talented teenager Riley Thilthorpe in the ruck against North at Hisense Stadium.

Used chiefly in attack this season, Thilthorpe has been named to start in the centre square, with fellow ruck candidates Andre Parrella and Jade Cleeland listed on the extended interchange bench.

Former Sturt giant Parrella is one of three inclusions, along with former Panther Connor Fairlie and potential debutant Lachlan Squire, from the GWS Academy.

NORTH

North Adelaide has strengthened its half-back line for the contest against West at Hisense Stadium.

Captain Alex Spina (thumb) and Glenelg recruit Elliot Chalmers (hip) have been cleared to return, named on the half-back flanks.

STURT

Sturt has recalled Ken Farmer Medallist Mark Evans to confront Central at Peter Motley Oval.

Squeezed out of the League 22 in Round 7, Evans is one of four potential inclusions to face the Bulldogs.

The former Redleg has been joined by Jordan Houlahan, Henry Carey and potential AAMI Rookie Anzac Lochowiak (19, 184cm and 85kg) from Payneham FC.

Tall utility Tom Red couldn’t be considered due to an illness.

The Jack Oatey Medallist has been joined in the Bulldogs’ 25-man squad by Kyle Presbury, Marcus Barreau, Brendan Dew, Darcy Pisani, Fraser Fort and Jonathan Marsh.

He was joined by big-bodied utility Jesse McKinnon who has also been listed in the midfield while Ben Haren adds flexibility on the extended interchange.

Brighton Bombers product Danny Juckers (20, 182cm and 79kg) has been included for what would potentially be his first Statewide Super League game.

Bigman Jordan West has also been named on the extended interchange bench.

Goldsworthy is set to play his 200th Statewide Super League match after being a late withdrawal in Round 5 after straining his glute at training.

Norwood could have two AAMI Rookies make their debut against Glenelg at The Parade.

Jack Heard (20, 192cm and 84kg) and Chris Lodovici (23, 181cm and 71kg) are two of five inclusions named on the extended interchange bench.

They have been joined in the Redlegs’ 25-man squad by Jed Spence, Jacob Collins and key defender Michael Talia, who has overcome a hamstring strain.

GLENELG

Glenelg could only make one change to its starting line-up for the blockbuster against Norwood at The Parade.

AAMI Rookie Luke Edwards was unable to be considered to face the Redlegs after suffering concussion in the last minute of his debut in Round 7.

As a result, premiership defender Jonty Scharenberg looms as his likely replacement after recovering from knee soreness.

Utility Neil Vea Vea and possible debutants Brady Searle (Plympton) and Dylan Morton (Wagga Tigers) are the other additions to the Tigers’ 25-man squad.

F: Bailey, McBean, Reynolds
