TWO sons of guns have been included in Yartapuulti’s SANFL side for Saturday’s game against Woodville-West Torrens with Jase Burgoyne and Harper Montgomery included.
Burgoyne – the son of 2004 Premiership player Peter Burgoyne – returns to the line-up having been last week’s AFL tactical substitute.
The son of fellow Premiership player Brett Montgomery, Harper Montgomery has been named at half back for his fifth league game of the season, and first since Round 7.
Experienced forward Orazio Fantasia is back in the side following a week out with hamstring tightness while first-year defender Kyle Marshall is also back after missing last week’s win over West Adelaide with illness.
Ollie Lord and Nick Moore are each suspended while Jackson Lee, Cody Szust and Dylan Aldridge also go out of Yartapuulti’s side.
Ruckman Sam Hayes has been called into the AFL squad for Saturday night's clash with the Gold Coast to cover the loss of Scott Lycett to a knee injury.
Meanwhile, Francis Evans, who last week led the side for disposals leads a group of emergencies that could also be called upon against the Suns.
Evans, Riley Bonner, Dante Visentini and Quinton Narkle are the AFL emergencies and could feature at SANFL level if not required at Adelaide Oval later on Saturday.
Last time the two sides met, the Eagles got the better of the game, holding on late to win by three points at Alberton Oval.
Saturday’s game at Woodville Oval has been shifted to the earlier time of 12:40pm.
It is the second of the SANFL’s two First Nations Rounds.
