The Statewide Super League, Reserves and Torrens Uni U18 Cup teams for Thursday night have landed. Check them out below.
Thursday April 18
Norwood v Port Adelaide | Coopers Stadium | 7.20pm
Norwood has regained two vital players for its clash with Port at The Parade on Thursday night.
Star midfielder Matthew Nunn (illness) and triple premiership forward Brady Dawe (hip) have recovered to be included in the Redlegs’ 23-man squad.
Nunn’s presence takes on more importance in the absence of dual Magarey Medallist Mitch Grigg, who accepted a one-match ban at the SANFL Match Review Panel for striking Sturt’s Steven Slimming on Friday night.
Promising youngster Dylan Stephens is on duty with the AFL Academy, paving the way for another two possible RAA Rookies in Brodie Carroll (19, 186cm and 77kg) and Cameron Taheny (18, 185cm and 80kg).
Carroll, a mdeium-sized defender, and Taheny, a medium-sized forward, have both been named on the extended interchange bench.
