Last week 
The Adelaide Crows went down to Collingwood in front of their home crowd at the Adelaide Oval by 48 points last Friday night.

The Crows trailed for much of the contest after the Magpies got the jump on their opponents in the first quarter and never looked back.

It means the Crows have won two and lost two ahead of Round 5. 

Ins and outs
Eddie Betts (hamstring), Rory Sloane (foot), David Mackay (concussion) and Darcy Fogarty will all miss the game after taking part in Adelaide’s match with Collingwood. Matt Crouch (hamstring) and brother Brad (groin soreness) are among the other key outs. Midfielders Riley Knight and Jordan Galluci and utility Andy Otten will play their first AFL games of the season as cover. 

Adelaide coach Don Pyke

Debutant
Young midfielder Myles Poholke has been selected to make his senior debut for the Crows.

Poholke is a, 186cm, 86kg, goalkicking midfielder who has displayed consistent form at SANFL level.
