David Rodan will make his return to the seniors after one game in the VFL last week, and former Brisbane Lion Luke Weller will make his senior debut for the Tigers against Adelaide at Telstra Stadium on Friday night.
Weller, picked up at number 11 overall in the pre-season draft, has been named at centre half-forward and Rodan on the bench.
They replace Jay Schulz and Kane Pettifer who were dropped from the line-up that went down to Geelong last week.
Schulz, Rory Hilton and Tim Fleming are the emergencies.
Veteran defender Nigel Smart has been dropped from the Adelaide line-up. The Crows' selectors made three changes with midfielder Jacob Schuback also omitted while forward Scott Welsh was forced out with a groin strain.
Into the Adelaide line-up comes Ian Perrie, who's been named in a forward pocket, Ronnie Burns who will be playing his first senior match for 2004, and 21 year-old Nathan Bock who will be making his AFL debut.
Recruited from Woodville/West Torrens, the 193 cm, 82 kg defender was elevated from the Rookie List to the Primary List in 2002.
