ADELAIDE'S All Australian Rorys – Sloane and Laird – are back from extended stints out, but the Crows' injury crisis shows no sign of ending.
Sloane (foot) will play his first match since round four and Laird (broken hand) resumes from a month on the sidelines in Adelaide's must-win home clash with West Coast on Saturday.
Marc Murphy, Rory Lobb and Harry Taylor are among round 15's other confirmed high-profile inclusions.

Luke Brown, Darcy Fogarty, Cam Ellis-Yolmen and Curtly Hampton round out the Crows' six changes.
Eddie Betts (hamstring), Andy Otten (Achilles), Sam Gibson (hamstring) and dumped trio Patrick Wilson, Rory Atkins and Myles Poholke make way, while Tom Lynch will miss after suffering a mild concussion at training on Wednesday.
Brandon Ah Chee and Brayden Ainsworth come in for the Eagles, who lost Mark LeCras (wrist) and dropped Jackson Nelson.
Matthew Suckling (Achilles) is back for the Western Bulldogs' Friday night clash with Geelong, while defender Brad Lynch will make his AFL debut.
The Dogs pair come in for Mitch Honeychurch (omitted) and Caleb Daniel (knee soreness)
Taylor, Cam Guthrie – for his first AFL game since ankle surgery – and debutant Quinton Narkle are in for the Cats, with Zach Guthrie and Cory Gregson omitted and Lincoln McCarthy (hamstring) out.
Murphy is one of five incoming Blues for their MCG date with Port Adelaide on Saturday, which doubles as veteran Kade Simpson's 300th game.
Jarrod Pickett (wrist) will play his first match of the season, with Levi Casboult Nick Graham and ruckman Andrew Phillips are the other inclusions.
Phillips replaces Matthew Kreuzer (ankle), who joins Lachie Plowman (knee) and Dale Thomas (suspended) as a forced out, while Lochie O'Brien and Cameron O'Shea were axed.
Jack Trengove will make his Power debut in what will be just his eighth game in the past five seasons.
Jack Hombsch is the club's other addition in place of Darcy Byrne-Jones (club suspension after being late for training) and in-form defender Tom Jonas (hamstring).
Gold Coast has regained one co-captain and lost another ahead of its Saturday night encounter with Collingwood at Metricon Stadium.
Steven May (ankle) will play for the Suns, as well fellow defender Rory Thompson (hamstring), Brayden Crossley and the club's top pick last year Wil Powell.
But Tom Lynch (knee) won't play again this season and is one of four outs, including Sam Day (shoulder), Jack Leslie (omitted) and Callum Ah Chee (personal).
Brayden Sier will make his debut for the Magpies, who also rewarded Ben Crocker for his five goals in the VFL last week.
Levi Greenwood (concussion) and Adam Treloar (hamstring) are significant outs.
Lobb was supposed to be as far as a fortnight away from action, but is Greater Western Sydney's sole inclusion to face Hawthorn in place of suspended spearhead Jeremy Cameron.
Fellow big man Jon Ceglar (quad) returns for the Hawks, who will be without Shaun Burgoyne (hamstring) for the next month.
Melbourne will continue to experiment in Jake Lever's injury absence, with first-year key defender Harrison Petty confirmed to make his senior debut against St Kilda.
Saint Darragh Joyce will become the 22nd Irishman to play an AFL match in the same game, while captain Jarryn Geary is back from a calf complaint.
Aaron Francis, who was last sighted in the AFL in round seven last year, is in the mix to come in for Essendon's showdown with North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Ben Jacobs (delayed concussion) is the most likely player to replace Billy Hartung (hamstring) for the Roos.
Mitch Robinson and Dan McStay are among seven possible inclusions for Brisbane's contest against Fremantle, with gun defender Harris Andrews (concussion) one of three confirmed outs.
Alex Pearce (thumb) and Michael Walters (suspension) will bolster the Dockers for Sunday's match.
