Melbourne have ruled ill forward Jesse Hogan out of Saturday night's AFL clash with Adelaide.
Hogan didn't make the trip to Adelaide on Friday with his teammates, after missing training on Thursday because of sickness.
The blow for the Demons comes as Adelaide coach Don Pyke says he's not jumping at the shadows cast on his side by their first loss of the season.
The ladder-leading Crows host Melbourne, seeking to rebound from their 59-point defeat to North Melbourne.
Pyke said his coaching panel and players learnt many lessons from the loss but wouldn't be over-reacting.
"We are very mindful of not jumping at shadows," Pyke told reporters on Friday.
"We understand we played some really strong powerful footy in the first six weeks - that got us to a position we're in.
"Last week wasn't the standard we want to play at but we get another chance tomorrow night."
Pyke said it would be ignorant not to heed the lessons from the loss to the Kangaroos.
"We were just off in our intensity around the ball and we paid a big price for that," he said.
"That is a good lesson to learn.
"This is a tough competition. Last week was the only time in AFL history the top five teams have been beaten. The bottom teams beat the top teams in every game.
"So the evenness, I know myself and the other coaches talk about it all the time - it's not just a fallacy and a throwaway (line). That is reality."
The Crows made two forced changes for the Adelaide Oval fixture against Melbourne with defender Jake Lever (hamstring) and midfielder Riley Knight (corked buttock) sidelined.
But forward Tom Lynch will play despite being concussed in last week's match.
Adelaide recalled Wayne Milera and Troy Menzel to play the 10th-placed Demons, whose midfielder Bernie Vince will play his 200th AFL game.
Vince started his career at the Crows, going on to win club champion awards with both sides.
"Obviously, Bernie has had history at our footy club and is a likeable character," Pyke said.
"... I don't expect there would be any negative backlash towards Bernie. It's a great achievement, 200 games of AFL footy, for anyone."
