IN: T Boak 10, A Aliir 21, L Evans 22, H Jackson 39 
OUT: R Burton 3, J Finlayson 11, C Moraes 31, J Mead 44 (omitted) 

Experienced duo Travis Boak and Aliir Aliir will return for Thursday night’s huge clash against Carlton at Adelaide Oval. 

Boak is preparing for his 379th appearance at AFL level, which will move him into outright eighth position for most VFL/AFL games played. 

Aliir returns after a week off with a knee injury, while youngsters Logan Evans and Hugh Jackson have both been added to the team. 

Four omissions have been made, with Ryan Burton, Jeremy Finlayson, Christian Moraes and Jackson Mead to play in the SANFL on Saturday.  

Boak, Evans and Jackson have been named on the interchange alongside Jordon Sweet and Kane Farrell, with one of these five players to be named as the tactical substitute an hour before the bounce.  

The last time the two clubs met was in Round 20 last season at Marvel Stadium, with the Power winning by 14 points.  

Thursday’s game will begin at 7pm Adelaide time, and the match will be broadcast live on Channel 7, Fox Footy and Kayo.
