Key forward Charlie Dixon comes in having been rested for the game against the Roos, while ruckman Ivan Soldo returns in place of Jordon Sweet.

Francis Evans has also been recalled.

The Blues are unchanged, meaning small forward Jesse Motlop will miss again having been sidelined with toe and hamstring injuries so far this season.

Carlton has won just one of its eight games at Adelaide Oval, the nailbiting, controversial victory over Fremantle in Gather Round earlier this year.

The Power (8-3) can entrench themselves in the top four with a win, while the Blues (7-4) are aiming to consolidate their top-eight place.
