Taylor Walker isn’t playing tonight for the Crows with the sides starting as named.

Murphy Reid and Taylor Walker will miss the AFL blockbuster between Fremantle and Adelaide, with the Crows confirming mass changes.

The Western Bulldogs will rest captain Marcus Bontempelli for Sunday’s game against Carlton, while Geelong skipper Patrick Dangerfield will return on Saturday against North Melbourne.

Reid did not train on Wednesday after the Dockers young gun suffered a hit to his groin early in last weekend’s upset loss to Melbourne.

It will be the first game that Reid will miss since making his debut in round one last season.

Interesting report from Nine News Adelaide on the Crows team hotel being evacuated due to a fire alarm this afternoon.

G’day everyone and welcome to tonight’s AFL live blog.

I’m Roy Ward and I’ll be tapping the keys as we cover Fremantle v Adelaide in Perth.

Freo are locked into the top-two heading with tonight and next week still to play but Adelaide have everything to play for as they still fall outside the top six and into the wildcard matches if they can’t win their last two games.

First bounce is set for 8.10pm AEST.

Enjoy the hours to come.
