ADELAIDE and Port Adelaide has swung one change each ahead of Sunday's Showdown with Crow Graham Johncock and the Power's Brent Renouf forcing themselves into the starting line-ups.
Johncock, a senior player who can play both forward or back, returns after bagging seven goals in the SANFL last weekend and Ian Callinan is expected to exit the side to make room for him.
Port dropped Jarrad Redden for Renouf, a Hawthorn premiersip ruckman who has impressed in local ranks since recovering from a knee injury.
But former captain Dom Cassisi and midfielder-forward Robbie Gray remain on the outer for another week and will have to continue to make a case for their return through the SANFL.
Port coach Ken Hinkley said he was rewarding the side that had recorded consecutive wins to start off its season.
"They've been really solid (Cassisi and Gray) but we've got not just Dom and Robbie - we've got a number of guys with consistent form at SANFL level,'' Hinkley said.
"But we've also got a side that's been playing very well at AFL level ... I think you need to reward players who are getting the job done.
"It's them having to force their way into the side now.''
Crows coach Brenton Sanderson expected Johncock to be a force in the forward line and couldn't speak more highly about his response to being dropped to the seconds.
"Johncock was exceptional last week, you know,'' Sanderson said.
"It's a really good sign that you are at a good club when one of the legends of your club goes back after being left out and performs so well."
