Adelaide and Port Adelaide have both named strong squads for tomorrow’s final NAB Challenge pre-season match.

The Crows have bolstered their defence for the mini Showdown at AAMI Stadium with Ricky Henderson and Matthew Jaensch back in the team after missing Adelaide’s loss to Geelong. Rookie ruckman Keenan Ramsey also returns to the squad.

Charlie Cameron and Reilly O’Brien have both been omitted.

Port Adelaide welcome a huge influx of experienced players after a big loss to Richmond in their last pre-season match.

Into the squad comes captain Travis Boak along with a long list of stars including Matthew Lobbe, Brad Ebert, Ollie Wines, Tom Jonas, Alipate Carlile, Justin Westhoff, Jay Schulz, Kane Cornes, Robbie Gray and Jarman Impey.

A host of less experienced players dropped from the squad will have a hit-out earlier on Saturday in a SANFL trial game at Alberton against the Crows’ state competition side.
