Sydney have brought Brownlow Medallist Adam Goodes back from injury for their AFL clash with Geelong at the SCG on Friday night.

Goodes has been out for the Swans’ past six matches with a quadriceps tear.

But he has been named after training well this week, with small forward Ben McGlynn also returning to the side after suspension.

Nick Malceski and Trent Dennis-Lane have been omitted.

Brisbane have regained Simon Black for their clash with the Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium on Saturday after his recovery from a knee problem.

Essendon have recalled veteran ruckman David Hille for their match against Fremantle at Patersons Stadium on Saturday night, and omitted Tom Bellchambers.

But the Dockers will be without their giant ruckman Aaron Sandilands with a toe problem, while midfielder Stephen Hill is also missing through injury.
