Geelong star forward Steve Johnson will miss another week after the MRP handed down a one week suspension following a reckless knee to the chest of Demon Nathan Jones.
The Kangaroos will welcome back their leading goal kicker, Lindsay Thomas, along with Scott McMahon, when they clash with the Blues on Friday night at Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, Michael Firrito will be missing from the line-up as he deals with an ongoing knee problem, while Levi Greenwood has been named as an emergency for the Roos. Carlton’s team list remains unchanged.
On Saturday, Will Langford (son of Chris Langford) will make his debut for the Hawks, as Shaun Burgoyne serves a two match ban for rough conduct against Tom Logan (Port Adelaide). For the Bulldogs, Clay Smith will undergo a knee reconstruction after injuring his ACL last weekend, which sees the return of Jack Macrae to the team following a week on the bench.
When St Kilda battles Port Adelaide in a Saturday night blockbuster, Justin Westhoff will be one of several players returning for the Power. Westhoff was suspended for one week when he unsuccessfully appealed a rough conduct charge for striking Cale Hooker (Essendon) in Round 15. However, his teammate Kane Cornes will sit out having received one week suspension for a behind-play hit on Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn) last weekend. For the Saints, 20 year old Tom Curren will make his debut and Sam Fisher will be missing due to a foot injury.
