Adelaide’s SANFL captain Ian Callinan returns to play his 100th SANFL game in Friday night’s clash with Norwood at The Parade.
And the Crows also will be strengthened by the availability of Brent Reilly, Jason Porplyzia and Thursday night's three AFL emergencies Jared Petrenko, Sam Shaw and Mitch Grigg.
Callinan, who has missed the past two games to rest a sore hamstring, played 95 games for Central District between 2007 and 2013 after moving from Hobart-based club Clarence.
He played in four consecutive SANFL premierships with the Bulldogs in his first four seasons at Elizabeth and was then rookie-listed by the Crows.
Adelaide’s depth was stretched last Saturday night against West Adelaide when Younie needed to use nine development squad players including Brad Merrett, Tom Hughes and Addison Burns, who all made their league debut.
Friday night’s game at Norwood starts at 7.40pm with free entry for all Crows ticketed members. Radio station 5PRH will broadcast the game.
In the other round seven games, the Eagles host North Adelaide, Glenelg are at home against Central District and Port Adelaide take on South Adelaide at Alberton, all on Saturday afternoon; and on Sunday, Sturt clash with West Adelaide at Unley.
Adelaide’s updated team is:
B: Sam Shaw, Luke Thompson, Sam Siggins
HB: Brent Reilly, Andy Otten, Jake Kelly
C: Riley Knight, Jarryd Lyons, Rory Atkins
HF: Alex Spina, Jason Porplyzia, Jared Petrenko
