GAME 1: Crows vs Blues

Thursday, 7:40pm EST Adelaide Oval

Notes: As we already knew, Sam Docherty is a huge out with a knee injury. Sam Walsh is back and has been very DT relevant in the past, wouldn’t grab him off the bat but I’d like to see what he can still do. Pedlar for the crows is a handy cash cow inclusion for us.

OUTS	Harry Schoenberg (sub), Lachlan Gollant (Omitted), Ned McHenry (Omitted)	OUTS	Jack Carroll (sub), Josh Honey (Omitted), Lockheed O’Brien (Omitted) Sam Doherty (Injured)

Thursday – Early news

Remaining weekend teams have dropped! Welcome to the Gather round where all games are played in Adelaide. Corey Wagner (Def/Mid) is confirmed to be playing for the dockers. It’s also confirmed that Jarrod Witts will not return this round. Also fresh off the press, Bailey Smith is out with a calf injury. It is confirmed that Will Day has lost his appeal and his 2 week suspension is upheld. Apologies for lateness of teamsheets tonight, I had an internet outage.

"I always had that fire in the belly to get back"

Welcome back to the AFL, Corey Wagner 🤝#foreverfreo
