ADELAIDE
Adelaide will take a strong side into its game against Central on Saturday.
With only first-year draftee Ned McHenry unavailable for selection due to general soreness, the Crows have also regained experienced half-back/wingman David Mackay and promising development player Hamish Latchford.
One player will still need to be trimmed from the four-man extended interchange bench.
Former Carlton pair Sam Jacobs and Bryce Gibbs will start in the centre square with consistent midfielder Pat Wilson and exciting Tasmanian Chayce Jones.

Good luck to the 3 debutants on Saturday.
In a game we cant possibly win hopefully we at least make it a contest
for as long as we can.Jacobs will take our young ruckmen apart so they will be in for a tough day.
Realistically if we get within 8 goals we wouldve done well

Sadly I agree with you. Crows look way too strong and should win easily.

Wont should win easily they will win easily.Hard going to watch a game knowing you are going to lose.

Jacobs could be on track for the world record of hit outs today our young ruckmen will try but have no chance of matching him if he is fair dinkum.
