They play West Coast for a second time this season after belting the Eagles by 71 points in Gather Round.

Despite some improved performances, the Eagles are 1-12 this season after losing to North Melbourne.

The No.1 pick in the AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, Tom McCarthy, will make his debut for the Eagles as Bailey Williams and Clay Hall also come in, replacing Tom Cole (hamstring), Brady Hough (illness) and Archer Reid (omitted).

Corey Durdin is back for the Blues in place of Will White, while Sam Walsh is sidelined with a foot injury.
