AAMI SA U18 midfielder Archie Van Dyk could make his first appearance of the Marsh AFL National Championships in Game 4 against Victoria Country on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Having recovered from a lower back injury, the South Adelaide playmaker \u2013 who returned with the Panthers via the AAMI Talent League in Round 12 \u2013 is one of four inclusions to the 24-player squad.<\/p>\n
Currently sitting with a 1-2 win-loss record after succumbing to Victoria Metro in Game 3, the Croweaters have also recalled joint vice-captain Cain Florance from an Achillies ailment, hard-running Taj Garrett and untried Tiger tall Kai Edwards.<\/p>\n
Florance has been named to start in a forward pocket while Van Dyk, Garrett and Edwards have all been listed on the six-player extended interchange bench.<\/p>\n
Glenelg ruck Jobe Janeway and West Adelaide pair Laurence Andriani and Josh Bell have been squeezed out of the line-up for the final match of the tournament.<\/p>\n
All matches in the 2026 Marsh U18 AFL National Championships will be live-streamed via the match centre on the AFL website and AFL Live Official App.<\/p>\n
