Sam Power Biography

The Western Bulldogs announce former player Sam Power as the club's general manager of list and recruiting.

"Sam brings a wealth of knowledge and a diverse skill set in a number of important areas which we see as crucial to the success of our list management and recruiting," Bulldogs director of football Chris Grant said.

"As we continue to aspire to be ahead of the game within all areas of our business, Sam's background in football, his knowledge of football department practices and experience in the corporate world made him an ideal candidate."

North Melbourne has delisted Daniel Harris, Sam Power, Matt Riggio and Michael Wundke while Cruize Garlett has been elevated from the rookie list.

"We'd like to sincerely thank each of these individuals for their significant contributions to North Melbourne," chief of football Donald McDonald said.

"I'd particularly like to extend our best wishes to Daniel Harris who played 149 great games for the club and showed true class throughout some difficult times during his career."

North Melbourne interim coach Darren Crocker has followed the lead of his equivalent at Richmond, Jade Rawlings, and swung the selection axe for his first match in charge.

The inclusion of debutant Liam Anthony is among four changes to the side that will meet the Western Bulldogs on Sunday.

Making way are youngsters Jack Ziebell (out due to a broken leg) and Gavin Urquhart, along with Sam Power and Aaron Edwards.

St Kilda ruckman Steven King has accepted a four-week ban for his off-the-ball clash with North Melbourne's Sam Power last weekend, deciding not to risk a six-week suspension if an appeal failed.

Steven King is looking at a month on the sidelines after being charged with rough conduct, while Paddy Ryder has also been suspended.

King was involved in an off the ball incident on Saturday which left Kangaroo Sam Power unconscious.

Ryder was suspended for a week for rough conduct against young Crow Patrick Dangerfield.
