Coopa Steele will once again feature for the under 18s side while Angus Crelley will fly the flag for the Crows in the under 16s.
Both Steele and Crelley were in the squad for their respective sides for their round one clashes with the Sydney Swans Academy.
Steele's under 18s side fell to a 49-34 defeat while the futures side also lost with the Swans taking a 64-27 victory.
The academy matches will be a rare opportunity for elite junior talent to try to impress recruiters this season, as many junior competitions across the country have been suspended or cancelled, including all competitions in Victoria, because of COVID-19.
The two Crows players weren't the only to feature last weekend with Griffith's Harry Rowston also selected in the futures side while Coleambally's Jack Cullen was named in the under 18s side.
The four MIA juniors have maintained their spot while Griffith's Taine Morashi has been added to the futures side for this weekend's Futures squad.
This weekend will see the Giants under 18s side take on Brisbane Lions while the Futures side will take on the Swans.
The selection does mean that Steele and Crelley will miss the Crows clash with GGGM Lions on Saturday at Leeton Showgrounds.
Crelley has played well for the Crows under 17s who has started the season strongly while Steele has been a critical component of the Crows first-grade midfield.
