Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson has plenty to choose from for the Crows NAB Cup defence Crows coach Brenton Sanderson marshals his troops at training. CROWS coach Brenton Sanderson is blessed with extraordinary luxury as he looks at 43 players capable of starting Adelaide's NAB Cup defence on Sunday. And Sanderson appears tempted to use as many players as he can with the AFL allowing coaches to work 34-man squads in the first week of 20/20 games. Adelaide will play St Kilda and Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Sunday. Adelaide will not play young defender Sam Shaw (knees), 2011 draftee Mitch Grigg (groin) and energetic forward Jared Petrenko (shoulder). The conservative approach at West Lakes means Adelaide is unlikely to push its 2012 NAB Cup final hero Bernie Vince (shoulder) and will demand fellow midfielder Richard Tambling prove his fitness before being released for action.

Sanderson was further encouraged to test the depth of his squad after seeing many young players impress in Adelaide's internal trial at West Lakes on Friday. "We'll certainly give our young players plenty of opportunity to show us what they've got during the NAB Cup," said Sanderson. At different times, some of our experienced players won't be playing and we'll get a chance to see who out of those young guys stands up. We'll try to give almost every player on our list a bit of exposure.
