Hawthorn has regained James Sicily after the captain missed three matches with a hip problem, with James Worpel also back in to face St Kilda on Saturday night.
In other round 17 team news, Jack Lukosius will play his first game in three months for Port Adelaide and will be joined for the trip to the Gabba to face Brisbane by Brownlow medallist Ollie Wines.
The Lions have again overlooked ruckman Oscar McInerney in favour of Darcy Fort, with the ‘Big O' set to play his third game in the VFL.
Coleman medallist Jesse Hogan will miss Greater Western Sydney's trip west to face the Eagles due to a foot injury, while Jordan Ridley is back for Essendon and No.1 draft pick Sam Lalor is in for Richmond.
With Carlton making wholesale changes to face its bitter rival, the Magpies have also been forced to make four changes, although Norm Smith Medal winner Bobby Hill is not among them, still missing through personal reasons. Veteran Tom Mitchell has been named along with debutant Roan Steele.
Gold Coast has opted to rest ruckman Jarrod Witts in favour of Ned Moyle, as the Suns plan for a six-day break following their match against the Bombers on Saturday afternoon.
In Sunday's game, Fremantle will regain skipper Alex Pearce to face Sydney, with the Swans naming bookends Joel Amartey and Tom McCartin after hamstring and illness respectively.
After one week in the VFL, Melbourne has named Jake Lever to face Adelaide in Sunday's other game.
