Jared Petrenko's back in the Adelaide Crows' line-up to add speed and defence Jared Petrenko returns to the Adelaide Crows line-up for the match against North Melbourne in the Indigenous Round. ADELAIDE has fallen for the "romance" of recalling Aboriginal forward Jared Petrenko for tomorrow's clash with North Melbourne in AFL Indigenous Round. And Crows coach Brenton Sanderson, who used the "romance" tag in assessing the value of leaning the emotional card on Petrenko, says the ball-trapping forward has earned his recall. Petrenko replaces midfielder Matthew Wright in the only change to the Adelaide 22. Wright will be the travelling emergency. As the only indigenous player in the Adelaide line-up, Petrenko will toss the coin. "People will think we brought 'Pup' (Petrenko) back into the team because it's Indigenous Round but he deserves his spot," Sanderson said in a club statement. The case for Petrenko was made at match committee as Adelaide searched for speed and defensive-minded players. "We've really lacked some forward pressure the past couple of weeks," said Sanderson. We've gone taller in attack since we lost Taylor Walker and we haven't had as much pressure on the ball when it's being rebounded out. Even though he's missed a few games, Petrenko leads our tackles (inside-50) and we know he'll provide that. Adelaide's record of just one win in the past 10 visits to the fast-tracked Etihad Stadium leaves the impression the Crows can be exposed to pace. But Sanderson rejects his team is the "slow Crows" or he needed to find more pace at selection last night. "It is unqiue (Etihad Stadium) because it is a quick, faster place to play footy," said Sanderson. The roof will be shut. The ball will fly through the air quicker and, with the hard surface, it produces a much quicker game. People like to challenge us that we are not the quickest side. But you have to win the ball first - so our focus, as it is always is, will be about winning the contested ball and the inside battle. And, if we get the ball outside, hopefully, we can still run. We are concerned, as is every side that plays North Melbourne, that they have some brilliant outside players - (Daniel) Wells and (Brent) Harvey are two who immediately spring to mind. Sanderson has liked the game being dubbed an "elimination final" between two teams that had expected to be already placed in the top eight. Sanderson regards the Kangaroos as worthy of being measured against top-four clubs. "They're a good side, they structure up really well, they've got a good balance of inside young midfielders - (Jack) Zielbell, (Ben) Cunnington, of course (Andrew) Swallow their captain and plus (Daniel) Wells and (Brent) Harvey outside," said Sanderson. I like their rucks too, we've seen Majak Daw's just brilliant but very raw and (Todd) Goldstein we certainly rate as well. It'll be a great midfield battle this week, we'll see two young midfields go head to head.
