Crows draftee Nick Joyce is a chance to make his SANFL league debut on Sunday.

The 18-year-old midfielder has been rewarded for some strong reserves form with a spot in the Eagles’ squad to take on Sturt at Woodville on Mother’s Day.

Cam Ellis-Yolmen has won his spot back in the league side, joining Luke Thompson, but Chris Knights must sit out this game through suspension.

Sturt will have Richard Tambling, Sam Kerrridge and rookie Tim McIntyre available but loses Josh Jenkins to the Crows and Brodie Martin has been named as an emergency for Adelaide.

There will be two young Crows involved in tonight’s league game at The Parade. Luke Brown will line up for Norwood and Rory Laird with West Adelaide.

Ruckman James Craig and Lewis Johnston will play for North Adelaide against Port at Alberton Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Sam Shaw is back with Glenelg on Saturday night after missing the past two games with hamstring soreness since he made an impressive AFL debut against Greater Western Sydney.

Tom Lynch may be available for the Tigers if not required by the Crows and Brad Symes is in the same situation with Central District.

Andy Otten and Ben Dowdell will play for South Adelaide in its Foxtel Cup game against VFL side Williamstown at the MCG on Saturday.

Mitch Grigg (Norwood), Sam Martyn (Eagles) and Dylan Orval (Central) have been named in the SANFL reserves.
