There are no late changes to Adelaide's team to play West Coast at Adelaide Oval today.

Mitch Grigg has again been named to start as the sub.

There was one change to the team this week. Scott Thompson returns to the Adelaide team at the expense of forward Tom Lynch, who has been omitted

Thompson, 31, was a late withdrawal from the Crows side that beat Collingwood because of back/hamstring tightness. The injury ended the two-time Club Champion’s run of 99 consecutive matches.

Patrick Dangerfield, who sustained a knock to his knee against the Magpies, has also been named. The emergencies are Lynch, midfielder Jarryd Lyons and defender Sam Shaw.

Coach Brenton Sanderson said it was always difficult to make changes to a winning team.

“Scott Thompson was in excellent form before getting injured. He’s had a weekend off and trained strongly at our main session, so he comes straight back into the team,” Sanderson said.

“Someone has to go out for ‘Thommo’ and, unfortunately, for ‘Lynchy’ it’s him this week. Lynchy’s had an extremely interrupted year. He had a limited pre-season because of a foot injury, then hurt his shoulder in a trial game and broke his jaw.

“He just hasn’t had much consistency in his footy and that’s probably being reflected in his form a bit at the moment. At his best, Lynchy is a very important player for us. I know he’ll go back to the SANFL, play well and force his way back into the team.

“It’ll also give us the chance to field a different look in our forward line on Saturday.”

Ruckman Sam Jacobs will play his 100th AFL game on Saturday.

Public tickets and guest passes to the match have sold out. Fans without a ticket can still gain entry (standing room only) to the match, as well as remaining home games against Richmond and St Kilda, by becoming a Bronze 3-Game Member.

Saturday’s game starts at 1:10pm. Make sure you’re in your seat by 12:50pm to celebrate NBA Champion and Crows Ambassador Patty Mills during a pre-game lap of honour. Full match day information, including public transport, car parking and CROWmania outlets is available here.

Adelaide will tackle the Eagles again on Sunday, when the SANFL Crows play Woodville-West Torrens at Woodville. Exciting forward Charlie Cameron will make his return from a groin injury in the SANFL this weekend.
