Eighteen Crows-listed players appeared in the SANFL on the weekend.

Chris Knights made a successful return with the Eagles after missing two weeks with an adductor strain, picking up 20 possessions in the 2011 premiers’ first win of the 2012 season. But Richard Tambling only played briefly for Sturt after copping a knock to the hip.

Central District had the bye.
