Kangaroos v Crows preview
Two huge blows for an already battling Kangaroos side are No. 1 draft pick Jason Horne-Francis (suspension) and captain Jack Ziebell (facial fracture). But Tarryn Thomas earns a recall.
This will be the 17th team’s third match in Hobart this season with one more to come against Hawthorn.
Unlike North Melbourne, Adelaide did not have the bye last weekend and was hammered by Gold Coast 116 to 73.
Second-year forward Riley Thilthorpe will miss the match with an injured ankle. However, there is no stopping star midfielder Rory Laird despite some soreness.
