Adelaide has made four changes for the Gold Coast trip, recalling Richard Douglas, Ben Rutten, David Mackay and Kurt Tippett.
Two vacancies were created by injuries, with Chris Knights (quad) and Ricky Henderson (adductor) unable to recover in time. Ivan Maric and Brodie Smith were also squeezed out of the 22 from last Sunday’s game against Geelong Cats.
