Adelaide defender Daniel Talia has been ruled out of Sunday’s JLT Community Series clash with Fremantle, with big-bodied 18-year-old Darcy Fogarty coming into the final squad to make his first appearance in Crows colours.
Talia rolled an ankle during Thursday’s training session at West Lakes and will require further assessment in the coming days.
“Tals rolled an ankle at training on Thursday and hasn’t come up in time for today’s game,” Crows General Manager High Performance, Matt Hass, said.
“We will monitor him during the week but expect him to be fit for our next pre-season game against Port.”
Fogarty, selected with pick No. 12 in last year's National Draft, joins a cast of new faces appearing for the Crows headlined by recruits Bryce Gibbs and Sam Gibson.

4 Josh Jenkins
