Despite a 7 goal haul in the SANFL, Taylor Walker looks unlikely to force his way back into the Crows team this week
The Adelaide Crows will name an unchanged line-up for Sunday's game against Collingwood in Melbourne.Adelaide's coach Neil Craig says he'll go with the players who beat the Gold Coast Suns last week.
However a new face has been added to the squad, with midfielder Aidan Riley upgraded from the rookie list so he could be picked in the 25-man squad for Sunday's clash, with Walker and Myke Cook the other additions to the 22.
Riley, 19, was recruited from Wollongong on a New South Wales scholarship early in 2009.
He was then added to the rookie list at the end of that year, and has been playing for Sturt in the SANFL.
Riley, who will travel with the team to Melbourne even if he doesn't play, has become the third rookie elevated by the Crows so far this season, following Matthew Wright and Chris Schmidt.
Defender Phil Davis has been added to the long-term injury list, allowing Riley to be upgraded.
The Crows have just 1 win in their previous 6 encounters with Collingwood, but their past three matches have been close, with an average winning margin of just 10 point for the three Magpie victories.
Collingwood are expected to regain Nick Maxwell and defender Ben Johnson for the clash on Sunday, although ruckman Darren Jolly will again be missing.
