Two untried 2007 draftees are among five possible inclusions for Adelaide’s clash with Hawthorn.
Patrick Dangerfield and Jarrhan Jacky have joined Bryce Campbell, Robert Shirley and Ivan Maric as selection options for Sunday’s round-four game at Launceston’s Aurora Stadium.
Out of last week’s Showdown side are Kris Massie (hamstring) and Luke Jericho (cracked sternum) but the Crows will continue to monitor the fitness of Nathan Bassett and Jonathon Griffin (heavy knocks) and Jason Porplyzia (shoulder) before flying to Tasmania on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Neil Craig said he would give these players as long as possible to prove their fitness before making a final decision.
Dangerfield, who turned 18 last Saturday when he made his SANFL league debut for West Adelaide, has not been ruled out of selection by Craig despite returning to his Year 12 studies in Geelong this week.
“As I have said previously, the fact Patrick is back in Victoria will not stop us from selecting him if that’s the way we want to go,” Craig said.
Bryce Campbell, who played one AFL game last season in his first year with the Crows, won a recall on the back of an outstanding midfield performance for Norwood last weekend.
Shirley missed round two because of a quad strain but then sat out last weekend as Adelaide’s emergency while Jacky, 19 last Saturday, has shown some good form in the SANFL with Woodville-West Torrens. Maric, an emergency last weekend for the Crows, also played well for the Port Adelaide Magpies.
Adelaide trains at Max Basheer Reserve on Saturday from 10am. The team will not train in Launceston but will have a walk on Aurora Stadium from about 5pm on Saturday.
The team is:
B: Johncock, Rutten, Bassett
HB: Doughty, Bock, Symes
C: van Berlo, Thompson, Vince
HF: McLeod, Goodwin, Edwards
F: McGregor, Burton, Stevens
R: Griffin, Porplyzia, Douglas
Inter (from): Tippett, Jacky, Shirley, Mackay, Dangerfield, Maric, Campbell
Into 25: Jacky, Shirley, Mackay, Dangerfield, Maric, Campbell
Out of 22: Massie (hamstring), Jericho (cracked sternum)
