Adelaide has confirmed three changes for its Round 20 clash with Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval on Sunday afternoon.

Key forward Taylor Walker returns to the team after being managed for last weekend’s match against Essendon in Melbourne.

Down back, James Borlase and Chayce Jones have been named to replace injured duo Jordon Butts (foot) and Nick Murray (knee).

Captain Jordan Dawson will also miss after being placed in the AFL’s concussion protocols.

As announced on Thursday, Darcy Fogarty will captain the Crows in Dawson’s absence.

Daniel Curtin, Josh Worrell and Ned McHenry have been listed as the side’s emergencies.

Imo, we have a better list, but hard to argue on performances...

They have a better spread of age group and experience imo. More players between 25 and 30 adding to their performance each week. We have guys like Smith, Laird, Murphy

 

[GreyCrow]

Vale BACCS - you missed the Curtin selection - oh wait he wasnt

Sack Nicks

 

[ams4crows]

No Curtin, ffs

 

[Jeffcrowe]

They will be shitting themselves if they need to win the Showdown to make the finals...

The frustrating thing is we are a more dangerous team than them but we lose too many games we should win and we turned up under prepared for season physically and mentally

Being down hill skiers means they win games they should win and that’s where we fail

I’d have us favourites to beat them again

One of only games that’s a lock for nicks to outcoach his opposing coach too

 

[Scorpus]

So is Nicks going for Himmelberg as the sub, or is he planning to play four tall forwards?

Both options are

 

[GreyCrow]

0.6% is all it takes

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Disgusting team selection.

Please tell me why we have EH, Tilly, Walker and Fog all in the same team?

Smith should get dropped for Curtin. He’s a senior player, so it won’t happen

 

[Danger in Texas]

Get ready for Defenderberg

We deserve to get thrashed.

 

[FR0GGY]

See ya in a few hours then

You here?

 

[jenny61_99]

Missed opportunity. ANd WAY too tall IMO.

 

[El Doederino]

Didn’t realise we were easy beats and bottom 2/3.

Thought perhaps that we had double up games vs first, second, third, and seventh (GWS) was a part of it

Because the “easy” games against 13th, 12th, 15th, 11th served us so well …

 

[crows dude]

crap
Thought curtin would be sub at least

 

[El Doederino]

That’s bullcrap

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks is terrified of dropping players after a win even if we have a better player coming back into the team

 

[Pugsley]

Vale BACCS - you missed the Curtin selection - oh wait he wasnt

One less apologist, GC

 

[ABAB]

We’re tanking, there’s no other explanation

Involuntary tanking......the AFL probably think Nicks is but then they heard him say we are still a chance of Finals lol.

 

[El Doederino]

crap
Thought curtin would be sub at least

Sub will be Taylor

Because Nicks

 

[ams4crows]

A half fit Worrell is better than Himmelberg

 

[ams4crows]

Sub will be Taylor

Because Nicks

He better bloody not be

 

[Scorpus]

Get ready for Defenderberg

Surely not

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Actually don’t hate the talls if it’s dry , we need to find an advantage somewhere

Absolute no brainer to pick Curtin , the most obvious selection of the season so therefore the worst non selection
