After a tough game against Norwood last Sunday, the Panthers will be forced to make a number of changes.

Young gun Noah Howes is sidelined along with Aaron Douglass, both due to shoulder injuries.

This will, however, open the door for a number of handy additions to the extended squad.

Oscar Clavarino will return after being sidelined for three weeks due to suspension.

Inside mid Callum McCarty also returns and is joined by Sid Draper and Darnell Tucker.

Olivier Northam (St Josephs), who joined the Panthers this week, will play his first SANFL League match along with Blake Rodrigues (Yankalilla/Reynella), who has a chance to make his debut.

Hayden Sampson has recovered from his illness, which saw him miss last week, meaning he will play his 100th game this week against Sturt.

Debuting as player #1750 in Round 16 against Port Adelaide in 2018, the speedy outside mid has made his mark on the club over the past seven seasons.

Sunday also marks his 150th game for South Adelaide, including his appearances in the Under-16s, Under-18s, and Reserves since 2016.

All the action kicks off at the traditional time of 2:10 pm on Sunday, following the Reserves at 11:30 am.

You can also catch the game on SANFL Now or via AFL.com.au and the AFL Official Live App on Apple and Android.
