WEST Coast has left veteran midfielder Tim Kelly out of its side to face Gold Coast on Sunday night, while Port Adelaide will go into its clash with North Melbourne without key forward Jack Lukosius. 

And young Suns forward Jed Walter has failed to win a recall after his one-game suspension in the pre-season for striking. 

As flagged on Thursday, the Eagles will hand debuts to first-round draftees Willem Duursma, Cooper Duff-Tytler and Josh Lindsay, while pre-season rookie Milan Murdock will also play his first AFL game.

Gold Coast goes into the clash at People First Stadium unchanged after its 56-point win over Geelong in Opening Round. 

Lukosius (groin) had an interrupted pre-season and is among the emergencies for the Power's game against North Melbourne, but Miles Bergman (foot) will play after missing the pre-season matches and Todd Marshall will line up for his first game since the 2024 semi-final. 

Small forward Lachy Dovaston will debut for the Kangaroos, squeezing out Robert Hansen jnr, while pre-season rookie signing Tom Blamires will also play less than a month after becoming an AFL-listed player. 

St Kilda has made just one change for its clash with Melbourne, replacing ruck Rowan Marshall (concussion) with Isaac Keeler. Demons recruits Brody Mihocek and Changkuoth Jiath will play their first games in red and blue, while Latrelle Pickett will make his AFL debut. 

Veterans Tom McDonald and Jake Melksham are among the Dees' emergencies, along with former St Kilda ruck Max Heath.
