Eight AFL players will form part of Adelaide’s Bushfire T20 Showdown side to face Port Adelaide on February 2 at Adelaide Oval.

Tom Lynch, who represented Victoria at junior level, will captain the team and was instrumental in selecting which of his teammates would feature.

Crouch brothers Matt and Brad will both play, alongside Darcy Fogarty, Paul Seedsman, Rory Sloane, Brodie Smith and Taylor Walker.

“We can’t wait to get out there and take on Port in front of a huge crowd at Adelaide Oval,” Lynch said.

“This is an opportunity to raise as much money as possible to help those affected by the bushfires and to say thank you to all the amazing firefighters.”

The remaining players on each side will include four Adelaide Strikers/Redbacks players, one South Australian female cricketer and a CFS volunteer.

Tickets are still on sale for the charity match and can be purchased here.

The match starts at 2.30pm on Sunday, February 2. The State Government will provide free public transport to fans attending the match.
