Adelaide has named four changes to its Round Nine side set to face West Coast at Optus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Chayce Jones, Billy Frampton and Shane McAdam have all been recalled to the senior side - along with Ronin O’Connor who will make his AFL debut.
“Ronin has been super consistent in the SANFL, I love watching him,” Crows assistant coach James Rahilly said on Saturday.
“The last three or four weeks he’s been super around stoppages, he’s improved every week.
“It's great to have another debutant.”
