The return of midfielder Matt Crouch headlines five inclusions to Adelaide’s SANFL team for Sunday’s clash against Woodville-West Torrens. 

As confirmed earlier in the week, Crouch responded favourably to rehabilitation from mid-season shoulder surgery, putting him in line to return to the field this weekend. 

Defender Will Hamill also returns, after missing the past three weeks due to a broken finger, while Irishman Karl Gallagher also comes into the side having spent the past three matches on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury. 

The trio are among 10 AFL-listed players confirmed to take on the Eagles at Maughan Kia Oval on Sunday. 

Kieran Strachan, Charlie Edwards and Harry Schoenberg join Crouch in the starting midfield.

Lachlan Gollant, Toby Murray and Lachlan Gollant take their places up forward, while Oscar Ryan will line-up at half back. 

James Borlase, Ned McHenry, Daniel Curtin and Chayce Jones have been added to the AFL squad after featuring in last week’s win over North Adelaide. 

Emergencies from the AFL team are still to be added to the side. 

SANFL-listed duo Harry Boyle and Tate Coleman round out the inclusions. 

The Crows will be searching for back-to-back wins this weekend as they face the fifth-placed Eagles.
