Adelaide will go into Friday night’s JLT Community Series clash with Greater Western Sydney in Canberra with an unchanged line-up.
The Giants also remain unchanged from the team that was submitted on Thursday night.
The Crows’ big guns have been confirmed to return, with All Australian defender Daniel Talia and experienced midfielder Bryce Gibbs coming into the side.
Myles Poholke and Andy Otten have been omitted.
Star Giants forward Toby Greene will play his first game of the pre-season following surgery on his troublesome ankle.
Adam Tomlinson also returns to the Giants’ team, with co-captain Callan Ward set to miss six weeks with a knee injury and Zac Williams managed after a strong performance against Sydney last weekend.
