Meanwhile, Essendon has named defender Jordan Ridley for his third senior match of the season, along with first-round draft pick Dyson Sharp to face a Dees team it beat at Gather Round.

In other round 14 team news, No.1 draft pick Willem Duursma will be an absentee for West Coast's match against North Melbourne, out with a calf injury.

The Kangaroos, playing a 'home' match at Optus Stadium, have made three changes from the team flogged by Fremantle, omitting Wil Dawson and Zac Fisher.

Gold Coast has dropped veteran ruckman Jarrod Witts for a second time this season as it prepares to face Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Friday night.

The Suns have opted to go with Ned Moyle as their main man, recalling experienced defender Charlie Ballard to bolster the tall stocks in the back six.

The Cats have Lawson Humphries back after he missed last week, while Gryan Miers is rested.

Joel Hamling comes in to replace the concussed Tom McCartin for Sydney, facing a Port Adelaide team that is still without Jack Lukosius after he failed to pass a fitness test.

Eric Hipwood has been named in Brisbane's extended squad to face Richmond on Sunday and is in line to play his 200th game after overcoming a second knee reconstruction, although Linc McCarthy (hamstring) has not been named.

In the final match of the round, Greater Western Sydney has regained spearhead Jesse Hogan, who is back from a hip injury after missing four matches.
