As the Magpies battle the Crows on Friday night, Adelaide will take to the field without Shaun McKernan who was handed a two match ban for striking Eagle Brad Sheppard last weekend. Meanwhile, Dayne Beams will make his long awaited return to the ground for the first time this year, coming back from a niggling quad injury. His impressive performance of 28 disposals during a VFL match last weekend helped to secure his selection in the Collingwood side.
The Hawks have made an unexpected inclusion, replacing Brad Sewell with Brent Guerra ahead of their clash with Port Adelaide on Saturday. Guerra has recently recovered from a back injury, while Sewell has been named as an emergency. For the Power, John Butcher will replace Justin Westhoff who received a week suspension for striking Bomber Cale Hooker last Sunday.
Other important changes include Geelong’s Joel Corey, who sustained a concussion last weekend, and Corey Enright who is recovering from a foot injury. Both will be markedly absent when the Cats meet the Demons on Saturday, as Sam Blease returns to the Melbourne side.
Returning skipper Gary Ablett will lead the Gold Coast when they go head to head with the Tigers on Saturday afternoon. Also, Nick Riewoldt and Stephen Milne are set to replace Nathan Wright and Ahmed Saad when then Saints play Carlton at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.
