Symes, who has been dogged by knee problems since late in the 2009 season, has been named on a wing for Central District in the top-of-the-ladder clash with the Eagles at Elizabeth.
Ricky Henderson, who strained a hamstring in his AFL debut late last month, also returns for Central at half-forward. For the Eagles, rookie Luke Thompson will play at half forward.
Matthew Wright and Rory Sloane will be looking to continue their good form with North Adelaide against West at Prospect.
South has regained defender Daniel Talia, who missed last weekend to rest a sore calf. The 18-year-old has been named at centre half-back while Shaun McKernan will rotate between ruck and the forward line. James Sellar may be one of his opponents in the ruck for Glenelg.
Sturt take on Port Magpies on Saturday with Matthew Jaensch named on a wing. Aidan Riley, who made an impressive debut for Sturt last week, holds his spot in the team.
Sam Shaw (Glenelg) and Brian Donnelly (Central) are playing in the reserves.
Norwood has the bye this week.
