A handful of Crows-listed players pushed their case for a recall for Adelaide’s last home-and-away game with strong performances in the SANFL on the weekend.
North Adelaide lost its fourth consecutive game, this time to bottom side Glenelg, but Matthew Wright starred in the midfield with 34 disposals and nine clearances. Jarryd Lyons and Shaun McKernan were both serviceable for Glenelg.
Matthew Jaensch was high among Sturt’s best in its win over Port Adelaide on Sunday while Jason Porplyzia was busy for West Adelaide in a huge win over South.
The Eagles had the bye.
