Damien Hardwick has confirmed his extended squad to face GWS on Sunday evening, with a big inclusion confirmed for his first game of the season.

Ned Moyle has been named for the first time in 2026, included in place of experienced ruck Jarrod Witts who has been managed for the clash. StreetSmarts SUNS Academy graduate Zeke Uwland has also been managed.

Moyle’s inclusion is one of at least two changes for Sunday’s return to People First Stadium, with the final team to be confirmed at 5pm Friday.

Alex Davies, Joel Jeffrey, Sam Clohesy and Lachlan Gulbin are all named in the extended squad and in contention to return to the senior side.

Sunday’s clash gets underway at 7:20pm with gates open from 2:15pm for the VFL curtain raiser. Tickets are available from $29 for adults and $58 for the whole family (2A+2J).
