The SUNS will head to Adelaide with two changes from the side that toppled Collingwood at People First Stadium last Friday night.
As confirmed earlier this afternoon, Ben Jepson will become the club’s third debutant of the season. Jepson is one of two inclusions alongside fellow 2025 debutant Leo Lombard who comes in for his third AFL match.
Vice-captain Sam Collins and midfielder Lachie Weller, who were both named in the extended squad on Thursday evening, have been ruled out of the Round 19 clash. Collins continues to recover from a calf injury sustained a fortnight ago while Weller misses the trip to Adelaide with a cork.
Touk Miller (hamstring) also comes out of the side that defeated the Pies.
Alex Sexton and Malcolm Rosas Jnr have also been added to the emergency list, alongside Ned Moyle.
