PORT Adelaide key forward Todd Marshall will sit out Port Adelaide's match against Adelaide on Friday, although Mitch Georgiades has been named for his first serious hitout since he suffered an ACL injury last season.

Marshall will miss due to a bruised foot while Willem Drew (shoulder) and Quinton Narkle (back) are also absent.

But Port fans will get a first look at their new recruits after a busy Trade Period last year, with Esava Ratugolea, Ivan Soldo, Jordon Sweet and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher all named.

The Crows are missing the likes of Rory Sloane, Wayne Milera, Jordon Butts and Jake Soligo as they continue to nurse injuries suffered in the pre-season, but they will get a first look at top draftee, Dan Curtin.

The Western Bulldogs have split their leading players into two sides that will play Hawthorn across two matches at the Whitten Oval on Friday.

The likes of Marcus Bontempelli, Tim English, Adam Treloar, Taylor Duryea, Bailey Dale, Alex Keath, Ed Richards, Cody Weightman and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will all play the second match alongside some VFL players, while new faces Ryley Sanders, Nick Coffield, James Harmes and Lachlan Bramble will play the first game.

Jack Macrae is the only notable absentee as he manages a hamstring injury.

The Hawks have named an extended squad but have not yet specified which players will play which game.

Luke Breust and Karl Amon (both managed) will miss for the Hawks, joining the injured group Chad Wingard, Dylan Moore, Will Day, Changkuoth Jiath, Denver Grainger-Barras and James Blanck on the sidelines.

As reported on Tuesday, Essendon will be without key forward Peter Wright, defender Jordan Ridley, midfielder Ben Hobbs and No.10 draft pick Nate Caddy for its match against St Kilda, but all are expected to face Geelong in the AAMI Community Series next week. Sam Draper, Jake Kelly and Dylan Shiel are also nursing various injuries.

But the Bombers' big haul of trade recruits – Xavier Duursma, Todd Goldstein, Jade Gresham and Ben McKay – have all been named.

The Saints will be missing Jack Sinclair – who the club hopes will be fit for round one – as well as Dan Butler and Paddy Dow, with the latter pair in some doubt for the start of the season proper. Hunter Clark and Zak Jones are both sidelined due to concussion.
