Geelong will go into a semi final in Perth unchanged as Chris Scott has backed in Jeremy Cameron to find form on the run.<\/p>\n
The superstar goal kicker struggled to impact the elimination final in a new role further up the ground, featuring on a wing and a half back.<\/p>\n
A return to the forward line beckoned, which would\u2019ve forced emerging youngster Jay Polkinghorne out of the side.<\/p>\n
In turn, Sam De Koning would\u2019ve been eyeing a recall.<\/p>\n
Instead the Cats will go unchanged against a Dockers side desperate for a response to last week\u2019s catastrophic performance against Hawthorn.<\/p>\n
Fremantle has swung two changes, dropping Nathan O\u2019Driscoll in favour of Corey Wagner, while Brendan Walker misses with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Judd McVee returns after a week on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
Leadership group member Isaac Cumming has become the hard-luck selection call for Adelaide\u2019s semi-final against Brisbane.<\/p>\n
The Crows dropped Cumming to make way for the returning Zac Taylor, in the sole change for Saturday night\u2019s knockout game at the Gabba.<\/p>\n
Crows coach Matthew Nicks suggested that there was going to be a tough omission because Taylor would be squeezed in, if fit, three weeks away straining his hamstring.<\/p>\n
Ex-GWS wingman Cumming was the casualty after a quiet three-week stretch during which he recorded a total of 31 disposals.<\/p>\n
Taylor moved freely during Wednesday night\u2019s main training session at Adelaide Oval, showing no signs of the injury he suffered in the last minor round win over GWS.<\/p>\n
The crafty half-forward looked very frustrated on the bench that night, probably wondering if his season was over.<\/p>\n
But his consistency this campaign while playing 21 of the club\u2019s 24 games encouraged the Crows to recall him to face the Lions.<\/p>\n
Adelaide football boss Adam Kelly said Taylor had recovered well, passed his fitness tests and was in form before his injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cZac has been an important member of our team this season,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis contested work, composure and execution of fundamentals is at a high level.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brisbane has made one change to the side that lost to Sydney, recalling Ty Gallop to replace the injured Noah Answerth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Geelong will go into a semi final in Perth unchanged as Chris Scott has backed in Jeremy Cameron…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":887287,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[456930,456949,456971,456946,456932,456937,355409,456956,456960,456962,456927,456926,456961,456968,456939,398087,425530,377411,456938,443111,381022,456967,456976,3443,6093,638,456928,456931,456973,64,63,55,639,456951,651,456936,2475,12923,456970,49785,456952,6092,456975,401461,456972,456941,72098,13148,68954,13658,456942,456943,456959,456969,456974,456950,396178,456963,456933,12141,456954,78797,13307,16712,308956,456940,35062,450945,456929,407491,46,456948,19064,46907,8856,456944,85,456925,670,12975,10020,380255,384381,211101,456964,112480,382205,34325,443883,426827,456947,377511,456935,456958,417727,456957,456965,456955,385577,386778,456924,383329,456953,456945,456966,423036,380519,391036,456934,71127,41313,9020,28790,27731],"class_list":["post-887286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-s-24-games","tag-s-catastrophic-performance","tag-s-fitness","tag-s-knockout-game","tag-s-main-training-session","tag-s-semi-final","tag-355409","tag-31-disposals-taylor","tag-a-do-or-die-clash","tag-a-dockers-side","tag-a-half-back-dockers-geelonga-return","tag-a-high-level","tag-a-new-role","tag-a-quiet-three-week-stretch","tag-a-recall-instead","tag-a-response","tag-a-semi-final","tag-a-total","tag-a-tough-omission","tag-a-veteran","tag-a-week","tag-a-wing","tag-a-young-gun","tag-adelaide","tag-adelaide-oval","tag-afl","tag-afl-semi-final-teams","tag-an-ankle-injury-judd-mcvee-returns","tag-an-important-member","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-brendan-walker","tag-brisbane","tag-brisbane-the-crows","tag-cats","tag-chris-scott","tag-composure-and-execution","tag-corey-wagner","tag-crow","tag-crows","tag-crows-leader","tag-cumming","tag-dockers-blockbuster","tag-emerging-youngster-jay-polkinghorne","tag-favour","tag-form","tag-fundamentals","tag-geelong","tag-gws-the-crafty-half","tag-hawthorn-fremantle","tag-his-consistency","tag-his-contested-work","tag-his-fitness-tests","tag-his-hamstring-ex-gws-wingman-cumming","tag-his-injury","tag-his-season","tag-his-spearhead","tag-jeremy-cameron","tag-jezza","tag-kelly","tag-last-week","tag-matthew-nicks","tag-nathan-odriscoll","tag-nicks-backs","tag-night","tag-no-signs","tag-one-change","tag-our-team","tag-perth","tag-ruck-call","tag-sam-de-koning","tag-saturday","tag-side","tag-some-concerns","tag-sports","tag-superstar-jeremy-cameron","tag-sydney","tag-taylor","tag-teams","tag-that-night","tag-the-bench","tag-the-blues","tag-the-casualty","tag-the-cats","tag-the-club","tag-the-crows","tag-the-elimination-final","tag-the-forward-line","tag-the-gabba-brisbane-cromcrows-coach-matthew-nicks","tag-the-ground","tag-the-hard-luck-selection-call","tag-the-injured-noah-answerth","tag-the-injury","tag-the-last-minor-round-win","tag-the-lions-adelaide-football-boss-adam-kelly","tag-the-returning-zac-taylor","tag-the-run","tag-the-side","tag-the-side-in-turn","tag-the-sidelines","tag-the-sidelines-leadership-group-member-isaac-cumming","tag-the-sole-change","tag-the-superstar-goal-kicker","tag-this-campaign","tag-this-season","tag-three-weeks","tag-two-changes","tag-ty-gallop","tag-wednesday","tag-young-gun","tag-zac","tag-zac-taylor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/887287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=887286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=887286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
