NORWOOD
Norwood is refusing to risk one of its star midfielders for the Friday night clash with West Adelaide.

Jack Oatey Medallist Matt Panos has been rested with a heel complaint, as the Redlegs look to preserve one of their key players for later in the season.

Speedy wingman Anthony Wilson returns from a quad injury while defender Mac Bower and possible RAA Rookie Josh Richards (20, 175cm and 65kg) have been named on the extended interchange bench.

WEST
West Adelaide could have another debutant as it prepares to face Norwood on Friday night.

Kyle Kirk, from Dalyston in country Victoria, has been included on a five-man extended interchange bench.

The 22-year-old has been joined by Brett Turner, Tom Pillion, Murray Waite and Aaron Anderson in the Bloods’ 23-man squad.

Ken Karpany was sent back to the Reserves while West will be without key midfielders Will Snelling (Essendon) and John Noble (Collingwood) for the rest of the season after they were selected in the AFL Mid-Season Draft on Monday night.

West 3.3.21
Our run and spread is just too much for West

The Digital Pass is good for at least seeing some action but gee listening to it is painful. I would think the SANFL could do better to promote the game than this .

Intensity has dropped right off and both sides scoring freely

Played one good quarter of football but the rest was a bit average
