Finnbar Maley, Luke Nankervis and Chayce Jones have all been dropped, while Jordon Butts is out with concussion.

Key Events
Here we go
The final quarter is now under way.
After one final address from Justin Longmuir, will Fremantle re-discover their attacking verve or look to go safe?
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 9.5 (59)
Three-quarter-time
The Crows certainly owned that quarter!
Behind by 34 points after Jye Amiss kicked the first goal of the second half, Adelaide responded with the next five - including three in a time-on blitz - to get themselves well and truly back in the game.
Fremantle will take the break to regroup and see what they can do to try and avoid surrendering a big lead for the second time in the young season.
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 9.5 (59)
Crows on fire!
And James Peatling has followed up for Adelaide almost immediately, bursting forward from the centre stoppage to kick their fourth in a row!
The Dockers may only take the most slender of margins into three-quarter-time
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 9.5 (59)
Let him Cook
Here come the Crows!
Half-back Brayden Cook has come forward to convert a set shot for their fourth goal in a row, cutting the margin back inside two goals with only minutes to go until final break.
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 8.5 (53)
Crows find momentum
The Dockers are under the pump here.
Luke Pedlar very nearly added Adelaide’s fourth goal in a row, only to be denied by a diving save from Jordan Clark.
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 7.5 (47)
Horror turnover
That’s a moment Karl Worner would want back.
With the Dockers under pressure, the defender’s attempt at a clearing kick was gleefully accepted by Riley Thilthorpe, who slotted his first of the night and Adelaide’s third goal in a row.
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 7.5 (47)
Another for the Crows
Josh Rachele gives the Crows another goal and quickly turns to the crowd to celebrate.
The margin is now back to 22 points - is a comeback brewing?
FRE 9.9 (63) lead ADE 6.5 (41)
Can that spark the Crows?
The Crows kick their first goal since the 15 minute mark of the second quarter as Zac Taylor spins away from contest and snaps a find goal to finally give the home crowd something to cheer about.
Back to a 28-point margin.
Amiss has four
Turnover in the middle of the ground, and Shai Bolton is burning away through the middle of the ground.
Amiss is one-on-one inside forward 50, and Bolton weights it perfectly to his advantage as he gets his fourth.
Treacy, Amiss, Voss miss early chances
Justin Logmuir said he wanted Fremantle to keep the pressure on, wary of letting the Adelaide crowd get up and about.
Josh Treacy and Jye Amiss both have set shots for goal but can’t convert before Pat Voss misses one from close range.
But Adelaide cannot get the ball in their forward half.
