Norwood will be without veteran forward Paul Puopolo for its encounter with West Adelaide at The Parade.
The triple Hawthorn premiership forward will miss 4-6 weeks after injuring the medial ligament in his knee against Glenelg on Saturday.
With fellow small forward Xavier Tranfa out due to suspension, the Redlegs have called upon Cole Gerloff, Nick Pedro and potential debutants Michael Cavallaro and Mitchell Cotter as replacements.
All four have been listed on the extended interchange bench with fellow inclusion Lachlan Pascoe, who provides cover at either end of the ground.

Premiership pair Jono Beech and Josh Schiller return, together with Nathan Batley and Aaron Anderson, who have been named on the half-back line.
Lucas Meline and Sam Davidson have also been listed on the extended interchange, with the latter possibly to make his League debut for the Bloods after being recruited from Port’s SANFL side.
Ruckman Stuart Taverner and midfielder Kieran Lovell have been sent to the Reserves while Elliot Dunkin suffered a knee injury against Sturt last round.
