Included for the Demons are Jared Rivers, Nathan Brown and first-gamer Matthew Warnock (22-years-old, 193cm, 90kg), who's been named on a half-back flank.
Adelaide has named Martin Mattner on a wing despite speculation he could miss with a calf strain.
The Crows have made two changes to the side that lost to West Coast by two points at AAMI Stadium last Sunday.
Trent Hentschel, a late withdrawal last week because of a calf strain, and Hayden Skipworth have replaced Scott Stevens (omitted) and Chris Knights (shoulder). Jason Porplyzia will go to Carrara as the standby player.
Hentschel will be checked on Saturday morning to determine whether he has pulled up soundly from Friday's training session.
