Rookie-listed ruckman Jack Osborn will make his league debut for Central District on Saturday.

Osborn, who missed the first half of the season with a hip injury, will replace Crows teammate and fellow basketball convert Ben Dowdell (ribs) in the Bulldogs side to take on Glenelg at Playford Alive Oval.

Young midfielder Jarryd Lyons will line-up in the opposing team, while Shaun McKernan and Sam Shaw, who are emergencies for the Crows, could also play for the Tigers if not required in Perth.

Matthew Jaensch, Angus Graham and Tim McIntyre will play for Sturt in its home game against South Adelaide on Sunday. Wingman Brodie Martin will miss another week with a sprained ankle.

Forward Jason Porplyzia, who is also an emergency for Adelaide, could be the only Crow in action in the clash between West Adelaide and Port Adelaide at Alberton Oval on Sunday.

Jared Petrenko will bolster Woodville-West Torrens in its match against Norwood on Sunday. Young defender Cam Ellis-Yolmen will also play for the Eagles, named at centre half-back.

First-year Crows Rory Atkins (Sturt) and Tim Klaosen (Glenelg) will play in the reserves.

North Adelaide has the bye.
