CARLTON midfielder George Hewett has missed the selection cut ahead of Sunday's blockbuster clash against Collingwood at the MCG as the Blues welcome back a pair of key players with their finals hopes on the line.
Defender Zac Williams will play his first game since round nine, and midfielder Adam Cerra will return after he was a late omission against Melbourne last week.
Hewett, however, was left out of the 22 when squads were trimmed on Friday afternoon having missed the past four matches with a back issue.

Ruckman Tom De Koning was also overlooked and named as an emergency alongside Hewett and omissions Lochie O'Brien and Jack Newnes.
Young Collingwood midfielder Finlay Macrae will play just his second game this season, and his first since round nine, after being included as one of two changes.
Star forward/midfielder Jordan De Goey also returns after he was a late withdrawal last week with a hip flexor injury, while Jack Ginnivan has also been named despite being subbed out of the loss to Sydney last Sunday.
The Western Bulldogs have axed midfielder Rhylee West and ruckman Stefan Martin for their clash against Hawthorn at UTAS Stadium on Sunday, with Lachlan McNeil already a confirmed omission.
Key forward Josh Bruce returns alongside veteran Taylor Duryea, with Tim O'Brien not making the final cut from the extended bench.
The Hawks have made five changes for the clash, handing debuts to midfield rookies Jack Saunders and Ned Long. Triple premiership player Liam Shiels is among the omissions.
St Kilda has finalised four changes for its clash against Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with Dan Hannebery locked in for his final game and ruckman Tom Campbell named to support Rohan Marshall.
The Swans have named an unchanged team after their 27-point win against Collingwood.
