Adelaide has made one change for Showdown 56 against Port Adelaide on Saturday night.

Crows forward Lachlan Gollant has been named, replacing injured veteran Taylor Walker.

Gollant is set to play his first AFL match since Round Six, fresh off an eight-goal haul in last week’s SANFL win against West Adelaide.

The Club ruled out Walker for the Showdown after undergoing eye surgery earlier in the week.

“Lachie had a stand out game in the SANFL last week, kicking eight goals,” Adelaide Head of Football Adam Kelly said.

“It has been a year that hasn’t presented a lot of opportunity at AFL level and one where Lachie has been challenged with some plantar fascia issues that have inhibited his performance.

“(But) it is nice to see his persistence pay off and reward for the way he has dug in and continued to press his claims.”

Chayce Jones, Billy Dowling and James Borlase have been named as the emergencies.

The Club will announce its substitute one hour before the game.

Adelaide has won the past three Showdowns - the most recent a 30-point victory in Round Eight this season.

The Crows take on the Power in Showdown 56 at Adelaide Oval on Saturday at 7pm.
