Adelaide has made two changes for Sunday’s clash with Essendon at Adelaide Oval.
Forward Elliott Himmelberg has been recalled to face the Bombers, replacing defender Jake Kelly.
Prior to selection, Crows coach Matthew Nicks said the Club’s match committee were weighing up the team’s defensive mix and ball use out of the back half.
“We probably struggled to really get our flow going, so we’ll have a look at what our mix looks like down back,” Nicks told reporters on Friday morning.
Lachlan Murphy was confirmed as an inclusion on Friday morning and will replace Ned McHenry (managed).
Ben Crocker takes McHenry’s place in the selected squad as an emergency.
First bounce of Sunday afternoon’s game is set for 12.35pm (ACST) with the game to be broadcast live on Fox Footy and 7mate in Adelaide.
