Primus has named eight possible inclusions - seven under the age of 23 - including potential debutant Jasper Pittard.
Young quartet Travis Boak, Alipate Carlile, Robbie Gray and Matt Thomas will return from injury alongside the recalled Daniel Stewart, while Andrew Moore has named on the bench, after a starring role in the SANFL on the weekend.

Veteran Chad Cornes has also been named on an extended bench after playing in the SANFL for the first time in more than 10 years last weekend.
Daniel Motlop is suspended, Steven Salopek is out for the year with a shoulder injury while Jason Davenport, Scott Harding and Jay Nash have been omitted after the loss to the Bulldogs.
Power senior coach Matthew Primus said he was pleased to welcome back some big names for the Showdown.
“Our midfield rotations look stronger with the likes of Boak, Gray and Thomas returning and we also look more settled down back with Alipate Carlile recovering from injury,” Primus said.
“Jasper’s a chance to play. He’s been in some good form in the SANFL and has been knocking down the door to play, so it’s exciting to see some new names in the team.”
