Adelaide will give champion midfielder Simon Goodwin every opportunity to line up against the Kangaroos on Saturday night on the Gold Coast.

And the versatile Kris Massie has been named for his first AFL game of the season, replacing Luke Jericho in the 22.

Goodwin, who has a low grade sprain of a medial ligament in his left knee, has completed some training in the past two days and seems certain to join the rest of the team on Friday morning’s flight to Brisbane. “He’s a real chance to play,” coach Neil Craig said.

The side is scheduled to train at Carrara from 3.30pm on Friday.

Massie injured a wrist during the pre-season but has been in sparkling form with Norwood in the SANFL.

The team is:
