AFTER a week out to deal with personal tragedy, Adelaide skipper Jordan Dawson is back for his team's trip to the Gabba to face Brisbane on Sunday.

He's not the only big name to return for round seven, with Collingwood welcoming back Jordan De Goey from concussion to face Essendon on Anzac Day and Hawthorn recalling Jack Scrimshaw.

Dawson's return for the Crows comes as Alex Neal-Bullen misses with a knee injury, facing a Lions outfit without injured duo Noah Answerth and Jarrod Berry.

Scrimshaw's inclusion in one of five changes for the Hawks, who face Gold Coast in Launceston, with suspended duo James Sicily and Dylan Moore among the outs.

Jack Gunston is back after having his corked calf managed last week.

The high-flying Hawks are taking on a Suns team that has two huge inclusions of their own, with skipper Noah Anderson (appendix) and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan both named.
