TOM CLUREY and Zak Butters headline some welcome inclusions for Port Adelaide’s SANFL game against Central District on Saturday.
Clurey has missed six weeks of football recovering from surgery after breaking his jaw.
Butters’ stint on the sidelines dates back to early April when he injured his ankle and knee in the club’s AFL win over Richmond.
Joining Clurey and Butters in the team to face the Bulldogs are Jackson Mead, who has recovered from a lacerated spleen, and the experienced Hamish Hartlett, who was a late withdrawal from last week’s AFL game with a hip flexor issue.
SANFL contracted regulars Jake Weidemann and Sean Samblich have also been named after each missed the loss to North Adelaide last weekend with injury.
Martin Frederick, Dylan Williams, Boyd Woodcock and Peter Ladhams have been named among the AFL emergencies and will be eligible to feature at SANFL level if not required for the club’s game against Hawthorn on Saturday night.
Port Adelaide will take on Central District at Elizabeth Oval from 2:10pm as part of the SANFL’s Indigenous Round.
The club will wear a modified version of its AFL Indigenous guernsey – designed by local artist Elle Campbell – against the Bulldogs.
