Carlton have recalled Jarrad Waite for their AFL clash with the Western Bulldogs on Saturday after a month out through injury.

Waite suffered a knee injury last month and has not played since.

But the Blues have named the forward among four changes to their side, with ruckman Matthew Kreuzer out with a calf injury.

Geelong defender Jared Rivers has been named in the Cats side to play Port Adelaide at Simonds Stadium on Saturday.

The Melbourne recruit has played just three matches this season, but not since round five because of a knee injury.

West Coast have also recalled stars Matt Priddis, Mark LeCras and Chris Masten from injury to play Essendon at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
