R5: Norwood v Sturt - Friday 22 April @ Coopers Stadium
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2016 10:48 pm
NORWOOD
Injury-hit Norwood will hand a debut to former North Adelaide giant Luke Mitchell against Sturt at Coopers Stadium on Friday night.
Mitchell, who crossed from the Roosters in the off-season, has been named in the 23-man squad to confront the Double Blues after building solid form in the Reserves.
The former Carlton bigman has been joined by former Docker Alex Forster, Callum Bartlett, Steve Baldasso, Peter Bampton and possible debutant Alex Villis.
Villis is a 17-year-old from Cleve on the Eyre Peninsula and is described by coach Ben Warren as an aerobic outside midfielder.
Co-captain Jace Bode will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a broken leg while triple premiership players Brady Dawe and Tim Webber will miss at least one match with a hamstring strain.
Teenager Lachlan Pascoe was unlucky to be squeezed out of the line-up.
