ADELAIDE

Nick Joyce (groin) TBA
Ian Callinan (knee) test
Brodie Smith (collarbone) 3 weeks
Luke Brown (foot) test
Ricky Henderson (concussion) test

Luke Brown will be available for selection after scans cleared the young defender of any bone damage. Ricky Henderson copped a knock to the head but should be right to go. Ian Callinan will be pushing for selection as will fringe midfielder Richard Tambling, who impressed in SANFL trials with 22 disposals, five marks and four tackles. Sam Shaw had a light run with Glenelg and could come into consideration. Substitute Brodie Martin might struggle to keep his spot while defender Andy Otten could miss for Shaw. Jared Petrenko should improve after a lacklustre effort against Essendon last Friday night.

We need Smithy back! Need Browny to get up also! Also need Tex leading up field!

Structurally Smith actually adds a lot to the team. He's capable of shutting down an opponent while providing great footskills and run out of defence. He's a great foil to Reilly and for that reason I'm looking forward to having him back.

Brown hasn't come on near as much as I'd hoped. His offensive game is lacking but his defense his sound. I'm happy he's available for he'll take an opponent out of the game every week; a bit like how Dougty did.

Henderson just needs to be played in the right role - we're getting it wrong. And I don't understand why the selectors are hating Tambling. I know he's got the reputation and rightly so but he's got his act together now, and I think he'll really help us. A lot.

GET LYNCH IN THE SIDE!!!!! He is a gun at SANFL level and proved that last year, very versatile (can play as a third tall up forward or down back), I think he could take Henderson or even Otten's role.

Deserves a crack based on good form, as does Richard Tambling

Lynch played genuine full time midfield in the SANFL this week though.
