Adelaide has made three changes for Saturday’s clash with Gold Coast and also is sweating on the fitness of two key midfielders.
Richard Tambling, Jack Gunston and James Sellar will take on the Suns at AAMI Stadium, replacing Taylor Walker, Brad Symes and Jared Petrenko in the 22.
The Crows must wait for midfielders Scott Thompson (corked calf) and Patrick Dangerfield (concussion) to prove their fitness but Matthew Wright (knee) trained today.

Bernie Vince, who was in line for a recall after two games back in the SANFL, strained a hamstring at training today and could not be considered.
Tambling returns after a one-week suspension, 19-year-old Gunston will play his third AFL game and Sellar is also back for the first time this season.
Saturday’s game starts at 2.40pm.
