Adelaide is set to benefit from an injection of speed in Round Four, with cross-code athlete Jenna McCormick and the fast-paced Hannah Martin returning to the side.

McCormick will pull on the tricolours for the first time since Round One after juggling her soccer commitments with W-League side the Brisbane Roar.

“Jenna has a solid week and a half of continuous training behind her now so she’s ready to come in, which is great for us because she’s a very talented player,” coach Matthew Clarke told AFC Media.

Martin was a late withdrawal from the side in Round Three after battling a minor leg injury, but Clarke said the 22-year-old had made a full recovery.

ROUND THREE: Crows crush Cats

The pair come in for Chloe Scheer, who was suspended following Adelaide’s 29-point win over Geelong, and Sarah Perkins who was omitted.

“Sarah misses out, which was a really tough call, she contributed to both our wins but her form wasn’t quite what she expects of herself and what we need of her,” Clarke said.

“She is determined to fight her way back in and once she does that she’ll come under strong consideration again.

“She is listed as an emergency, but she won’t travel, so she will get an opportunity to play in the SANFLW.”

First-round draft pick Nikki Gore will travel with the squad as the other emergency for the first time this season.

The Crows will return to Darwin to take on the Dockers at TIO Stadium this Saturday night.

The first bounce is at 9.05pm ACDT.
