NARRM has named a 26-player squad three days out from its clash against Waalitj Marawar (West Coast).
Earlier on Thursday it was confirmed that recruit Shane McAdam would play his first game in the red and blue, having come across to the Dees from Kuwarna (Adelaide) during last year’s trade period.
The skilful forward will add plenty of x-factor inside 50, having kicked 72 goals from his 50 career games so far.
“He's put in a power of work in terms of his preparation for his body,” Simon Goodwin told media on Thursday.
“He had to really go back to base camp in terms of his ability to get his body right.
“He's incredibly excited to be in the team to play alongside his great mate Kozzy Pickett. To get those guys working well together will be really important for us.”
Narrm has six inclusions in total for the extended line-up, with 23 of the 26 named to be selected in the final team tomorrow at 5pm (AEST).
Ed Langdon will miss the Sunday match due to personal reasons, while Jacob van Roooyen (concussion) and Daniel Turner (calf) both won’t make the trip across the Nullarbor due to their respective injuries.
The Sunday game will be the club’s first of Sir Doug Nicholls Round, a two-week period that looks to celebrate and honour the history and culture of the league’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander players.
INS – McAdam (club debut), Salem, Fullarton, Tholstrup, Tomlinson, B.Brown
