Jack Silvagni (hand) and Zac Williams (calf) were declared unavailable earlier in the week, while Matthew Cottrell was withdrawn from the trip to Adelaide on Thursday due to an ankle injury that saw him unable to complete main training. His recovery will be assessed early next week.

Replacing Silvagni in a key defensive post could be Lewis Young, with the native South Australian performing a crucial utility role for the Blues at multiple stages already in 2025.

Lachie Cowan also returns for his first game since Round 4 after making a successful return from a hamstring injury in the VFL last week, while the Blues will also call upon the experience of Sam Docherty, who was best afield for the Carlton Reserves in a narrow win a week ago.

Cotts becoming way too injury prone now also.

Crows fans on their socials bemused at the inclusion of Brodie Smith. Fogarty and Thilthorpe both named.

Some big outs for them to offset ours. Injuries are no excuse. If we're fair dinkum back, we win this.

2 HBF to replace 2 HFF.

Need to test out their sore spots early

Changes make sense. Keen to see Boyd in the side but no complaints with Cowan and Doc

doc just can't run at afl level anymore. he's a liability no matter what his vfl form suggests. not sure who we have in the reggies we could have used, maybe a campo twin?

Not sure I would put a line through him just yet. He’s only played a handful of games after another year out. But if he didn’t play the one I’d be looking at is Boyd. Reckon his kicking could be useful on a wing
