Adelaide star Eddie Betts is a confirmed starter in Showdown XLIII.

The Crows have made no late changes for the twilight clash with Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval.

Betts, 30, has recovered from surgery to remove his appendix a fortnight ago.

The mercurial forward returns to the Crows team along with midfielder Brad Crouch and defender Jake Lever.

Betts and Crouch missed the draw with Collingwood last weekend, while Lever has been sidelined for the past two games with a hamstring injury.

Onballers Paul Seedsman and Wayne Milera Junior, and swingman Andy Otten make way for the returning trio.

Adelaide’s starting bench is Brad Crouch, Riley Knight, Jake Kelly and Hugh Greenwood, who will play in his first Showdown.

The Power are also as named, with Angus Monfries set to play his first game in nearly two years and youngster Aidyn Johnson replacing the injured Matthew Broadbent (ankle).

Wingman Matthew White was omitted from the team that secured a come-from-behind win over St Kilda.
