Experienced midfielder Taylor Adams will return from injury this weekend to face the Cats in our Qualifying Final.
Adams injured his adductor against Port Adelaide in round 20 and missed the remainder of the home and away season. In his 17 games this season, the industrious midfielder has averaged 22.6 disposals, 4.88 tackles, 5.24 clearances and 10.65 contested possessions.
He comes into the side for promising youngster Finlay Macrae.
Oliver Henry is also considered an exclusion after being the medical substitute in round 23.
After 15 weeks on the sideline, and a return to football in the VFL last weekend, Nathan Kreuger has been named as an emergency this week. A testament to his hard work since injuring his shoulder earlier in the season.
This will be an epic clash at the MCG on Saturday evening and we can't wait to see the Magpie Army out in full force.
Go Pies!
In: Taylor Adams
Out: Finlay Macrae (omitted), Oliver Henry (rd. 23 medical substitute)
