Adelaide has recalled Daniel Talia and Jarryd Lyons for Saturday’s twilight clash with Sydney.
Talia, 23, returns after being a late withdrawal from the team that beat Gold Coast because of illness. The All Australian defender and Crows Club Champion replaces Sam Shaw, who played in Talia’s absence last weekend.
Lyons, 22, has been included at the expense of Adelaide’s starting substitute in the past two games, Rory Atkins. Lyons was best on ground in the Club’s SANFL win over West Adelaide on Sunday. He finished the match with 35 disposals, 12 clearances, eight inside 50ms, five tackles and a goal.
Shaw, Matt Crouch and James Podsiadly are the emergencies.
