Adelaide has been bolstered by the return of captain Taylor Walker for Saturday’s Showdown.

Walker, 28, is back after a week on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

Young midfielder Myles Poholke, who made his AFL debut against the Sydney Swans in Round Five, has also been recalled for his third senior game.

Wayne Milera Junior (hamstring) and first-year forward Darcy Fogarty (omitted) are out of the team that beat Carlton last weekend.

Fogarty, Reilly O’Brien, Lachlan Murphy and Patrick Wilson are the emergencies.

Vice-captain Rory Sloane wasn’t available for selection after re-injuring his troublesome foot.

The Crows and Power will meet for the 44^th time on Saturday.

Adelaide will be aiming for a sixth straight win over its cross-town rivals, while star Eddie Betts is one goal-shy of joining illustrious company.
