ADELAIDE captain Rory Sloane has recovered from an eye injury just in time for the Showdown, while Port Adelaide will welcome back midfield veteran Travis Boak.
Both teams will be looking to bounce back after heavy losses in round seven, when Port lost by 49 points against Brisbane and the Crows copped a 67-point shellacking.

Pride will be on the line for both teams, with each sitting at 24 Showdown wins.
Sloane returns after a month on the sidelines with a detached retina, while Boak missed one game with a minor quad complaint.
In his first Showdown, Port recruit Aliir Aliir is likely to have the tough role of playing on Coleman Medal leader Taylor Walker.
The Power enter the round in third place on the ladder with a 5-2 record, while the Crows sit at 13th with a 3-4 record.
