Adelaide has named three changes ahead of Sunday’s clash with West Coast at Domain Stadium.

Taylor Walker and Daniel Talia were withdrawn from the Club’s initial 25-man squad earlier on Friday and won’t make the trip to Perth.

Walker (toe) and Talia (ankle) failed to overcome minor injury complaints at training but are expected to play in Adelaide’s opening final next month.

Duo withdrawn from squad

Onballer Hugh Greenwood is the third omission from the side which lost to Sydney by three points last round.

“Hugh has carried a huge load in his first full season of senior football,” Crows Head of Football Brett Burton said.

“We expect him to play an important role for us in our finals campaign.”

Defender Kyle Hartigan and wingmen Paul Seedsman and Wayne Milera Junior replace the trio for Sunday’s clash in Western Australia.

Hartigan, who made his comeback from a hamstring injury in the SANFL last weekend, hasn’t played at AFL level since Round 15 against Carlton at the MCG.

Seedsman returns to the senior side for his first game since Adelaide’s draw with Collingwood in Round 19.

Milera, who turns 20 next month, resumes after a two-game stint with the Club’s state league side. His last AFL appearance was also against the Magpies.

Ruckman Reilly O’Brien, forward Jonathon Beech and Greenwood are the emergencies.

Sunday’s clash between Adelaide and West Coast is the last game of the home and away season.

It will also be the final AFL game at Domain Stadium.

The result could determine the minor premiership and make-up of the top eight.

The game starts at 2:40pm (AWST).

The Crows will hold an open training session from approximately 3.30pm (AWST) at Domain Stadium in Perth on Saturday. The light session will run for about 45 minutes.

The Club will host a post-match function immediately after Sunday’s match in the Presidents Room at the venue.

Adelaide’s SANFL team must beat South Adelaide on Saturday afternoon and rely on other results to secure a finals berth. The SANFL Crows tackle the Panthers at Noarlunga from 2:10pm (ACST).

Swingman Andy Otten is set to make his return from an ankle injury against his former SANFL club.
