Adelaide Crows Announce Roster Change Ahead of Bulldogs Clash
The Adelaide Crows have announced one roster change for their upcoming home game against the Western Bulldogs, scheduled for Friday night at Adelaide Oval. This adjustment comes after their win against Collingwood last weekend.
Team Lineup Changes
- In: Izak Rankine will return to the team after serving a suspension that caused him to miss the previous weekend's game.
- Out: Toby Murray has been removed from the lineup. The club stated this decision was made to manage him due to lower back soreness.
Crows Executive General Manager Football Adam Kelly confirmed that Murray experienced lower back soreness after the Collingwood game, prompting the decision for management this week.
Kelly indicated that the six-day turnaround was too brief for Murray to perform at his best.
Regarding Rankine, Kelly highlighted him as a "welcomed addition," citing his talent and capacity to energize the team.
Emergency Players
Chayce Jones, Reilly O’Brien, and James Borlase have been named on the emergency list for the upcoming match.
Match Information
The game between the Crows and the Bulldogs will take place at Adelaide Oval this Friday night. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:10 pm. It will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy, and Kayo.
