Delisted Collingwood midfielder Tyler Brown is reportedly a chance to fill the list vacancy at Adelaide that has been opened after Fischer McAsey's departure from West Lakes.
On Monday the Crows confirmed McAsey had decided to leave the club after losing the drive to play AFL football, with the young defender ending his spell with the Crows after three years and 10 games.
His departure has given the Crows some flexibility with their list with just over a month until the Supplemental Selection Period expires.
According toย AFL.com.au's Josh Gabelich, Brown has been invited to train with the Crows across the coming weeks to potentially earn a recall into the AFL.
Brown was cut by Collingwood at the end of last season along with his older brother Callum, with the father-son pair both departing the club after a combined 97 games in the black and white.
