NATHAN VAN BERLO will not play for the Crows in Saturday's Showdown XL at the Adelaide Oval.

He has been omitted from the side that lost to North Melbourne and will be replaced by defender Kyle Hartigan.

His height will be used by the Crows to try and cover the Power's three tall forwards Charlie Dixon, Jay Schulz and Justin Westhoff. 

Jake Lever and Daniel Talia are Adelaide's other tall backmen.

Port Adelaide earlier announced Jimmy Toumpas would make his club debut against the Crows as replacement for the injured Matt White.

Showdown XL will take place on Saturday 2 April at 1.15pm at the Adelaide Oval.
