THE MENZEL brothers will face each other for the first time in the AFL in Sunday's JLT Community Series clash between Adelaide and Geelong at Richmond Oval.

Adelaide forward Troy Menzel will get a chance to press his claims for a round one berth with star duo Eddie Betts and Josh Jenkins rested for the club's second pre-season hit-out. 

Menzel's older brother Daniel retains his spot in the Cats' forward line after having a strong season last year in his return from serious knee injuries. 

Cats captain Joel Selwood will have his first game of the year after missing his side's opening match with Hawthorn a fortnight ago. 

Lincoln McCarthy and Jordan Murdoch also come into the side. 

Ryan Gardner, Jed Bews and Jordan Cunico drop out of the Cats' 29-man squad named earlier in the week. 

Midfielder Jordan Gallucci, picked 15th overall in the 2016 NAB AFL Draft, will make his debut for the Crows, as will former US college basketball star Hugh Greenwood.

Small forward Ben Jarman, son of Adelaide great Darren, key position prospect Elliott Himmelberg and rookie Paul Hunter are the Crows' emergencies.
