Pair of key Bulldogs to return, Tigers’ sharpshooter set to make big comeback, Redlegs’ reserves load up ahead of GF: SANFL Teams – Preliminary Final

Central District is set to regain a key pair of inclusions from injury for Sunday's preliminary final clash with Glenelg at Adelaide Oval.

The Bulldogs have named livewire forward Jake Gasper on an extended bench as he returns from a knee injury that has kept him out since Round 17.

Mobile key defender Dayne Posthuma was withdrawn from last week's semi-final loss against Norwood with a hamstring complaint but will take his place, while utility Marcus Barreau has also been included.

Glenelg have again named star forward Lachie Hosie on their extended bench for the clash after being a late out from last week's clash with a hamstring issue.

Key defender Will Gould has also been placed on the extended bench as he attempts to recover from back spasms that saw him withdraw in the warm-up before the win over Sturt.

Brad McCarthy has been rewarded for a solid game in the reserves last week with a spot on the bench for the battle with Central District.

With the Redlegs already through to the grand final, several big-name Norwood players will be hoping to press their case for selection with a big game in the reserves this weekend.

Norwood will take on Glenelg in the reserves' preliminary final at Thebarton Oval on Saturday morning, with Matt Panos, Ben Simpson, Tom Graham, Ollie Sanders and Goy Lok to line up for the Redlegs.

Key forward Connor McLean has not been named for the clash after making his return from injury through the reserves in last week's loss to Sturt.

Meanwhile, Jake Walker, Hugh Stagg, Austin Kitschke and Connor McLeod are among the senior Glenelg players named for the clash.
