Three AFL-listed players are set to strengthen the SANFL Crows line-up after being named in the team to face Sturt on Sunday afternoon.
Wingman Rory Atkins, forward Myles Poholke and midfielder Patrick Wilson will play in the SANFL after being omitted from the AFL team.
Development squad members Michael McMahon, Corey Davey, Sam Tharaldsen and Josh Wittwer have also been named in the extended squad.
It will be Tharaldsen’s first SANFL game in over a year after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in Round Nine against Norwood last year.
The athletic defender has been in the development squad for three years, having made his SANFL debut in 2014.
Forward Darcy Fogarty and midfielder Curtly Hampton have been recalled to the AFL team, while development squad members Damon Hill, Joseph Brown and Josh Vandermeer are out with injury.
