West Coast have made three changes for Sunday’s final home match of the season against Adelaide, with retiring spearhead Josh Kennedy joined as inclusions by Samo Petrevski-Seton and Zac Langdon.
The Eagles lost Jack Petruccelle (hamstring) and Connor West (wrist) to injury, while youngster Jai Culley is suspended.
Langdon will play his first game since round six after missing most of the season with a serious ankle injury.
Kennedy has been joined in the line-up by nine of his teammates from the 2018 premiership side in Luke Shuey, Shannon Hurn, Tom Barrass, Liam Duggan, Liam Ryan, Jack Darling, Jamie Cripps, Willie Rioli and Jack Redden.
Rioli, who has kicked 14 goals in 11 games this season, will play his 50th match.
The Crows have stuck with the same 22 that upset Carlton last weekend.
Adelaide will be marking their own milestone with Rory Laird playing his 200th game, but the build-up has been completely overshadowed by the re-emergence of their infamous 2018 pre-season camp controversy on the back of revelations from Eddie Betts.
The Crows are the only team yet to win at Optus Stadium, having lost twice to the Eagles and once to Fremantle there.
