Petrenko Will Play

Early-season DreamTeam favourite Jared Petrenko will be a late replacement for the Adelaide Crows this weekend against North Melbourne and play his first game for four weeks.

Petrenko, a $139k defender, replaces $286k forward Richard Douglas, who has come down with a virus.

It was initially feared Douglas had swine flu, but he's been cleared of the illness.

Douglas's housemate and Crows teammate, $86k rookie midfielder Tony Armstrong, was an emergency for the clash but has also been ruled out after feeling unwell.

Petrenko, who over 40,000 DT coaches own, may prove to be a handy seventh defender with popular DT backmen Chad Cornes and Josh Drummond injured elsewhere.
