Adelaide has finalised its 22 for Sunday's Round 18 clash with West Coast at Adelaide Oval.
Taylor Walker, Tom Lynch, Elliott Himmelberg and Darcy Fogarty have all been recalled to bolster the Crows’ forward line.
Lynch has not played since Round Six after undergoing toe surgey while Walker returns after one week off due to a neck strain.
“Tex we were keen for last week and he didn’t quite get himself right,” coach Matthew Nicks said on Friday.
“Tommy Lynch is off two games at SANFL level and was really influential. He showed he’s got some class and composure that’s probably missing at this point in time in our AFL side.
“He’ll add to that, both from what he’s able to do with footy in hand as well as what he does off the ball… making sure our mindset is right.
“He’ll help us forward of the ball.”
Young defender Andrew McPherson rounds out five changes to the Crows side that lost to Essendon in Round 17.
Tom Doedee will miss Round 18 due to the AFL’s concussion protocol while Riley Thilthorpe will be managed.
Lachlan Sholl, Luke Pedlar and Billy Frampton have been omitted.
Frampton, Thilthorpe, Pedlar and Sholl have been named as emergencies with one to be confirmed as the medical substitute one hour before the game.
Sunday’s game commences at 4.10pm and will be televised live on Channel 7 in Adelaide.
The game will also be televised live nationwide on Fox Footy.
Seats are still available here.
