STURT
Sturt will finally unveil star recruit Pat Wilson against West at Unley Oval on Saturday.
The dual Crows SANFL best-and-fairest has missed the opening two games with a shoulder complaint but has been named in the centre.
The 2016 premiership midfielder has been joined in the Double Blues’ 25-man squad by Adam Trenorden, Lachlan Burrows and a pair of potential Tasmanian debutants.
Hamish Allan (20, 205cm and 96kg) and Jared Dakin (20, 181cm and 80kg) could play their first League games for the club, with Allan the most likely given he’s named in the ruck.
Abe Davis has been sidelined by a hamstring strain while Ash Johnson is out.

WEST
West Adelaide star Kaine Stevens will play his first game for the season against Sturt at Unley Oval on Saturday.
The Neil Kerley Medallist has shrugged off injury to be named in the centre against the Double Blues.

Taverner will replace injured ruckman Angus Rana while fellow bigman Matt McKenzie and Murray Waite are also sidelined with injuries.
