Taylor Walker and Tom Lynch have been named in the Crows’ extended 26-man squad set to face West Coast at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.
Experienced defender Brodie Smith has also been named to play his 200th AFL game.
“It’s one I’ve been looking forward to and (I got) a few videos today from some guys who I used to play with, so that was really nice,” Smith said on Thursday.
“I think as the week has gone on, I’ve started to realise how big it is and what it means to be, getting all the tickets for my family and friends that are going to be there.”
Lynch has not played since undergoing toe surgery in May following the loss to Hawthorn in Round Six in Launceston.
Walker missed one week due to a neck strain sustained against Brisbane in Round 16.
Elliott Himmelberg is in line to play his fourth match of 2021 after missing Round 17 due to illness.
Andrew McPherson and Darcy Fogarty have been included on the extended bench.
Tom Doedee will miss the match due to the AFL's concussion protocol.
Adelaide’s final 22-man side will be confirmed on Friday afternoon.
The match against West Coast commences at 4.10pm on Sunday, July 18.
It will be televised live on Channel 7 in Adelaide and nationwide on Fox Footy.
