Brodie Martin returns to the field on Saturday with SANFL club Sturt after five weeks out with a hamstring injury.

Martin, who last played in Adelaide’s win over GWS in round 16, joins Matthew Jaensch, Richard Tambling, Sam Kerridge and Tim McIntyre in the Sturt team to visit Eliizabeth to take on Central District. Aidan Riley may be required by the Crows.

Brad Symes will be in the midfield for Central.

Brad Crouch and Rory Laird have been named for West Adelaide for tonight’s game against South Adelaide at Richmond. Shaun McKernan has been selected at centre half back for the Panthers and rookie ruckman Ben Dowdell is in the squad.

Chris Knights will be back with the Eagles for Saturday’s clash with top side Norwood at The Parade. Luke Thompson will play a key position in defence while Norwood named young Mitch Grigg in the centre.

North Adelaide will have Lewis Johnston and James Craig for Sunday’s game against Port Adelaide at Prospect.

In the reserves this week are Dylan Orval (Central), Cam Ellis-Yolmen and Nick Joyce (Eagles). 

Glenelg has the bye.
