Forwards Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins and Mitch McGovern have been recalled for Adelaide’s final JLT Community Series game against the Brisbane Lions at Noarlunga on Saturday.
Betts and Jenkins were both rested for the Club’s win over Geelong last weekend. McGovern, who suffered a minor knee injury in Adelaide’s pre-season opener against Richmond, also watched from the stands on Sunday.
The goalkicking trio has been included in a squad of 27, which will be reduced to 24 on game day.
Midfielder Dean Gore, who was concussed in the last quarter against the Cats, and young forward Harry Dear are the only confirmed omissions from last week’s team at this stage.
Defenders Kyle Cheney and Alex Keath, who have overcome groin injuries, and draftee Matt Signorello (shoulder) will play their first games of the year in the Club’s SANFL trial on Saturday.
The SANFL trial at Football Park, which starts at 10am, is the first of three Crows games on Saturday.
Adelaide’s JLT Community Series clash with the Lions is next up at 3:40pm (local), while the Crows women’s team will round out a big day of footy in an AFLW game against Melbourne in Darwin at 6:40pm (SA time). Entry to the SANFL trial and AFLW game is free.
Club members with match entitlements receive free entry to JLT Community Series matches in which their club is competing. Members can scan their membership card at the gate (subject to capacity) or upgrade their membership to a reserved seat or register for a ticket in order to guarantee their entry (subject to availability, upgrade fees may be applicable).
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
