Adelaide players qualified for 2022 Hostplus SANFL Finals Series

By ZAC MILBANK

Adelaide is set to tackle the 2022 Hostplus SANFL League finals series with 15 AFL-listed players.

The Crows have 16 players qualified for the major round but defender Andrew McPherson has been ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

Key forward Elliott Himmelberg gained qualification after Round 19 when he lined up for Michael Godden’s side in the SANFL Showdown, instead of the AFL clash later in the night.

For AFL-listed players to qualify for SANFL League finals, they must play a higher percentage of SANFL games than AFL games throughout the year and at least three SANFL games after halfway point of the Hostplus League season.

Adelaide midfielders Matt Crouch and Jackson Hately did not qualify as they played a higher percentage of AFL matches across the course of the season.

Under SANFL rules, Adelaide and Port Adelaide are permitted to field a maximum of 17 AFL-listed players in each finals match.
