STAR flag Tigers Trent Cotchin, Shai Bolton, Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy are among six changes made by Richmond ahead of its clash with Adelaide.

Young tall Callum Coleman-Jones is set to play his first game since a 10-match ban for a COVID-19 breach last year, while David Astbury is out with Achilles soreness and Daniel Rioli has been dropped ahead of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

The Crows go in unchanged.

Carlton has lost patience with Marc Murphy, dropping the former skipper, while Jack Martin will return after injuring his PCL in round two.

Opponent Sydney has omitted youngster Nick Blakey, while in-form ruck Tom Hickey will miss with a knee injury and has been replaced by Cal Sinclair.

Port Adelaide has been ruthless at selection, dropping the experienced Hamish Hartlett, with small forward Orazio Fantasia has recovered from minor knee soreness.

Andy Brayshaw will return from a calf injury for Fremantle.

Brandon Zerk-Thatcher has come into the 22, with Nick Bryan added to the emergencies.
