GEELONG star Tom Hawkins has been named to play against North Melbourne, just a week after the death of his mother.

Hawkins was a late withdrawal for the game against Gold Coast last Sunday as he spent time with his family but he has been listed to return against North Melbourne at Simonds Stadium.

Jared Rivers and George Horlin-Smith have also been included in place of injured trio Jimmy Bartel (knee), Tom Lonergan (concussion), Matthew Stokes (Achilles strain).

The Kangaroos have made just one change with Jamie Macmillan replacing Ben Jacobs (omitted).

Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has made a big statement by dropping 2013 All Australian ruckman Will Minson. Brett Goodes has also been omitted while Dale Morris (pectoral) and Mitch Wallis (back)
are unavailable.

The Dogs welcome back Marcus Bontempelli, Matthew Boyd, Easton Wood and Clay Smith.

Adelaide has made just one change with youngster Charlie Cameron making way for midfielder Jarryd Lyons.

Brisbane Lions captain Tom Rockliff has made a remarkable recovery to be named to face West Coast after missing just two matches with a punctured lung.

He is one of four changes for the Lions. Mitch Golby, Nick Robertson and Tom Cutler have been included in place of Brent Staker (omitted), Matt Maguire (omitted), Sam Mayes (foot) and Jaden McGrath (foot).

West Coast big man Fraser McInnes will become the fourth Eagle to make his debut this season. McInnes was drafted with pick No.28 in the 2011 NAB AFL Draft. The 197cm key position player has replaced a small type in Patrick McGinnity. Jeremy McGovern has been named despite concerns surrounding a knee injury he suffered last week.
