Round 12 Team Selections | Season 2026

With plenty on the line, the Bays will be looking to secure a fourth consecutive victory and continue their strong form heading into the business end of the season. With first, second, and third place on the SANFL ladder separated only by percentage, every premiership point is crucial as the race for finals intensifies.

A rare mid-season addition, Jake Weidemann, son of Adelaide Crows great Wayne Weidemann, will make his debut for the Bays in the Reserves clash, which kicks off at 11:30am. Weidemann, who claimed the Port Adelaide (SANFL) Coaches Award in both 2024 and 2025, is expected to add valuable experience and strength to the squad as the club enters the second half of the season.

The Bays’ League side will be without premiership player Darcy Bailey, who has been sidelined with a minor ankle injury.

Mr. Reliable Corey Lyons continues to demonstrate his class and consistency across the SANFL competition and will again be a key figure for the Bays on Saturday afternoon. Lyons was rewarded with three SANFL Now Player of the Year votes following last week’s thrilling victory over the Bulldogs. Alongside experienced campaigners Lachie Hosie and Liam McBean, he will be eager to make an impact in the club’s sixth home game of the season.

Off the field, the Bays remain committed to delivering one of the best game-day experiences in the SANFL. With plenty happening around the ground, we encourage supporters to arrive early, watch the Reserves in action, browse our food and beverage options, enter our Split 50-50 raffle, and enjoy everything on offer around Stratarama Stadium.

We look forward to seeing the Bays faithful there this Saturday.

If you can’t make it to our Round 12 clash against Sturt this weekend, be sure to catch the action via SANFL Now.
