Lachie Neale and Alex Silvagni have been named for the Dockers, while Michael Barlow recovers from a knee injury. Meanwhile, Nathan Fyfe and Zac Dawson are both serving suspensions.
On Saturday afternoon, the Crows meet the Swans at Adelaide Oval. Adelaide has made a number of changes to their squad after Shaun McKernan suffered a concussion and Brad Crouch is recovering from a leg injury.
