Adelaide has named three changes ahead of Sunday’s Showdown XLIII at Adelaide Oval.

Key trio Eddie Betts, Brad Crouch and Jake Lever have all been included in the final side to confront Port Adelaide.

Crouch, 23, regains his place after missing last Sunday’s draw with Collingwood due to a fractured cheekbone while Lever, who has been sidelined for a fortnight with a hamstring injury, has also been cleared to compete.

Livewire forward Betts has recovered after undergoing surgery to remove his appendix but faces one final fitness test to confirm his spot.

The two-time All Australian has a remarkable record in Showdowns, having kicked 27 goals in seven games for the Crows against the Power. See more Stats that Matter

Defender Andy Otten and wingmen Paul Seedsman and Wayne Milera Junior have been squeezed out of the final 22. The trio will serve as Adelaide’s senior emergencies.

Forward Tom Lynch will play his 100th AFL game, while Lever will line up in game No.50.

The player adjudged best afield in Sunday’s clash will be awarded the Showdown Medal in a post-match presentation. Every Showdown Medallist
