First-year Crow Wayne Milera Junior has been recalled for Friday night’s clash with Geelong.
Milera, 18, replaces the injured David Mackay, who will miss up to a month with a hamstring strain.
The promising wingman/half-forward played the opening four games of his debut AFL season before being sidelined with a quad complaint. He kicked three goals in his SANFL return in Round Six, and was Adelaide’s travelling AFL emergency last weekend.
Midfield duo Jarryd Lyons and Cam Ellis-Yolmen, and veteran Nathan van Berlo are the emergencies for this week’s sold-out game against Geelong.
It will be the first time the Crows and Cats do battle at Adelaide Oval.

The Crows will be looking to set another crowd record on Friday night.
Currently, the biggest attendance for a match between Adelaide and Geelong is 46,543 at Football Park way back in Round 23, 1992.
The biggest-ever attendance for an AFL game at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval was 53,518 in the Round 16 Showdown last year. Adelaide’s biggest-ever crowd at the venue was 52,460 against West Coast in Round 22, 2015.
