This weeks selection table

The Crows made a number of additions to the squad to face Melbourne on Sunday.

Brad Moran, Jonathan Griffin, Myke Cook, Jarrhan Jacky, and Scott Stevens all come into the 25 man squad. Of these names, expect Griffin and Stevens to be certain starters. 

Out of the line up are Brad Symes and Ivan Maric, both of whom were omitted. 

Maric was the recipient of a Neil Craig spray at three quarter time last weekend. Neil Craig has since apologised for reacting in this way, but clearly believes the message he was sending needed no apology. Maric looked as if he had solidified his spot in the side after strong performances both in preseason and in the first 3 rounds. This may have been the case at most AFL clubs, but at Adelaide there are the likes of Griffin and Moran waiting in the wings. 

It does look as if there may be one more possible change with Jacky replacing Shirley. An article on the Crows website today suggested both Shirley and Jacky were named for the Eagles this weekend. Jacky has proved he has a bit of spark, but has been very nervous in his first few AFL outings. Some time in the SANFL, coupled with a good preseason should give him the confidence to lift his game up a notch.
