Crows add novice to ruck to travel party

Reilly O'Brien has joined Adelaide's travelling squad to Sydney for their AFL semi-final.

Novice ruckman Reilly O'Brien has joined Adelaide's travelling squad to Sydney, but the Crows insist there's no alarm over their regular ruck duo for their AFL semi-final.

O'Brien isn't among Adelaide's three emergencies for the SCG final against the Swans on Saturday night with the Crows saying he's travelling as insurance for lead tap-man Sam Jacobs and his ruck partner Josh Jenkins.

"The only time he gets a game is if Sam Jacobs does something in the warm-up or in training," Crows assistant coach James Podsiadly told reporters at Adelaide Airport on Friday.
