Fremantle ruckman Aaron Sandilands is one of five inclusions to the Dockers 26-man squad for their clash with Adelaide at Optus Stadium.

The 264-game veteran missed his side’s Round 11 game after copping a head-knock the previous week but is set to tackle Sam Jacobs in a ruck battle on Sunday afternoon.

The Dockers have also included Hayden Ballantyne, Brandon Matera, Mitch Crowden and Ryan Nyhuis in their extended squad.

Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe is the home side’s only omission at this stage after his one-week suspension was upheld at the AFL Tribunal earlier in the week.

Final teams for the Crows and Dockers will be announced on Friday afternoon.

Fremantle's Round 12 squad changes are...

IN – H. Ballantyne, B. Matera, M. Crowden, A. Sandilands, R. Nyhuis
OUT – N. Fyfe (suspended)
