They named ins but not outs.

The ins are: Taylor Adams and Nathan Murphy, with Harvey Harrison into the squad.

Stay anywhere in the CBD that you like the look/price of and you can walk to the ground. Especially if stay in north half of the CBD.

Yes, there are tickets available through Ticketek. I sit in general when I go interstate ... there will always be Pie supporters around you since we are such a huge club

Surprisingly Harvey Harrison has been named in the extended squad along with Adams & Murphy. I seriously doubt he’ll debut so it’s probably just an excuse to give him a trip back home to Adelaide since there’s no VFL this weekend for Collingwood. I haven’t seen any form in the VFL that would have Harrison in the team ahead of McInnes, Allan or Bianca.

Not sure what Carmichael has to do to get a lap - apparently was excellent in the VFL last week and I think has been decent all season. Given how they harp on “selection integrity” I can only assume they want to see more and probably also there just isn’t a spot for the kind of role he’s been playing. We probably do need to have a tall contingency too so Kelly might be in that role again for versatility.

Remind me everyone - is the final team announced Saturday afternoon?

I don’t understand the Harrison selection. Was in better form last year between hamstring injuries.

Cooper Murley was terrific at the weekend, classy player and good skills for a super lightweight player.

Carmichael was good and worked his backside off but lacks polish.

Macrae will be wondering if he’s being traded or delisted.

McInnes being played as a key forward in the VFL but would be a half forward third tall at best at this stage of his career. Would
Be good for him to get a couple of games continuity at that level. The bye has come at a bad time.

The Crows have been very good the last month but do have tendencies to fall asleep in parts of games and concede momentum and multiple goals. 5 day break is gonna hurt so need to take advantage of the moments when the Crows nod off.

In the past we've named kids in a squad to give them a taste of the match day experience for the senior side and being an SA boy I'm sure he'll get to treat his family to some tickets and insider access at the game.

I'll be staggered if he was part of the 23 come Sunday.

The one player keeping me awake at night is Izak Rankine - a seriously good footballer. Not sure how well we'll keep him contained.

Extended interchange bench doesn’t tell us much – we know Adams and Murphy are back into the 22 as we all assumed they would be, but all of the candidates for omission have been named on the bench.

I assume Pendlebury, Sidebottom (both assuming no injury) and Ginnivan play and Harrison doesn’t, so that leaves four players (Markov, Ruscoe, Kreuger and Kelly) to choose 22nd and 23rd man from. Ironically, the worst-performed from last week is probably the most likely to be named: I expect we’re going to persevere with Kreuger because of his structural importance. That leaves Ruscoe to be sub, I think. Markov very stiff.

Reasoning's:

Ruscoe was starting 22 last week and did a good enough job to get the nod in front of Kelly.

Adelaide has 2 dangerous quick small forwards in Rankine and Rachele, We probably need a speedier Markov as opposed to another tall on the bench.
