For the first time our four teams will play on the same day at our home ground, Hisense Stadium.
We unfortunately have a few players who sustained injuries from our clash against Sturt. Elliot Dunkin has had wrist surgery on a broken scaphoid and will be out for 3-4 weeks. Josh Ryan injured his AC joint in his shoulder and will also be out for 3-4 weeks. Ruck man Andre Parrella will also be out while he gets scans and will be replaced by Jade Cleeland. In some positive news Logan Hill returns to the side after a calf strain.
We have named four players making their potential debuts on our extended bench. These include Tom Morrish, Lachlan Squire, Reed Stevens and Hamish Ellem. The final side will be selected Friday night.
Please Note:
Josh Koster will have another run in the reserves this week after returning from his hamstring injury.
