Adelaide’s SANFL captain Ian Callinan has been named in the South Australian side to take on Western Australia in Perth on Saturday.
SANFL State coach Graham Cornes and the selectors today trimmed the squad back to 24 and also added some players to the mix to cover for injuries.
Callinan, 32, was in good form on Sunday for the Crows in their loss to Port in Balaklava, collecting a team-high 25 disposals.
Former Crows forward Jason Porplyzia, who has been in good form with West Adelaide this season, is the most AFL experienced player in the SA team.
Saturday’s game starts at 3.45pm (SA time). There will be a live stream of the match on the SANFL website.
