The Crows’ internal trial at West Lakes on Saturday will see a blue team take on a red team with plenty of salivating matchups likely to happen.

The blue team will be led by captain Rory Sloane, with a trio of Club Champions alongside him in the engine room in the form of Reilly O’Brien, Matt Crouch and Rory Laird.

Harry Schoenberg, Ben Keays, Lachlan Sholl and Wayne Milera provide handy midfield depth.

Taylor Walker, Darcy Fogarty and Billy Frampton will spearhead the attack for the blues, with Shane McAdam and mature-age draftee James Rowe also set to roam the forward 50.

A young red team will look to experienced pair Tom Lynch, Brodie Smith and Luke Brown for leadership, with three of the Crows’ 2020 draft class preparing for their first full hit-out.

No.2 pick Riley Thilthorpe is set to line up next to Elliott Himmelberg as tall targets up forward.

Luke Pedlar and Sam Berry are expected to be given midfield minutes for the red team, as is former Giant Jackson Hately.

The magnets are likely to shift on the whiteboard and players switch teams throughout the game as Adelaide’s coaches look towards Round One in four weeks' time.

Daniel Talia, Tom Doedee, Mitch Hinge and Brayden Cook will miss Saturday’s game due to injury.

The game will be live streamed from 10.30am ACDT on afc.com.au and the Crows Official App
