Rankine's return from a four-game suspension in place of Billy Dowling will be massive for the Crows as they face the unchanged Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. 

And former No.3 draft pick Dow is one of two omissions for the Saints, along with Riley BonnerRyan Byrnes and Hunter Clark come into the side against Richmond. 

Dow's axing means he'll miss the chance to face off against his brother Thomson, who is one of four inclusions for the Tigers. 

Samson RyanJacob BauerKaleb Smith are the others to come in, while injured trio Liam BakerSteely Green and Tom Brown join the retired Dustin Martin out of the side.
