ADELAIDE
Adelaide has secured the services of veteran Eagles wingman Chris Hall for the contest against West.
Hall, who was announced as a departure from Oval Avenue earlier this week, has been named to start in a back pocket.
The 30-year-old, who has played a total of 183 SANFL League games, will add invaluable experience to the youthful Crows line-up as he links up with his Woodville-West Torrens premiership coach Michael Godden at West Lakes.
Defender Riley Clamp injured his hamstring on debut in Round 1 while Bailey Marshman has been omitted.
Former Richmond midfielder Dan Jackson has been rested after playing against the Panthers on Good Friday.
AFL emergencies will be added closer to the match.
