Adelaide has made three changes for its clash against Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium on Sunday.

Forward Shane McAdam will not play against the Hawks after withdrawing from the Crows’ extended 26-man squad due to an ankle injury.

Midfielder Matt Crouch and small forward Ned McHenry, as well as defender Will Hamill have been named in the team.

McHenry and Hamill return to the side after overcoming injuries, while Crouch’s inclusion comes off the back of strong form in the SANFL.

“Ned is good to go, we were very conservative last week when it came to Ned, we didn’t take any risks with him last week, but he’s cherry ripe,” Adelaide Senior Coach Matthew Nicks said.

“Will pulled up really well this week, he trained super well Wednesday and he had a number of things he had to tick off as part of the concussion protocols and he moved really well, so no worries there.

“He couldn’t have done more, Matty and that’s exactly what we asked of him. 

“He has done an amazing job and went back into the SANFL and performed.”

Lachlan Sholl, Ben Davis, Lachlan Murphy and Elliott Himmelberg have been named as emergencies, with one to be announced as the medical substitution one hour before the first bounce.

The Crows will take on the Hawks at Marvel Stadium on Sunday at 2.50pm ACST (3.20pm local time).
