Melbourne utility Jack Watts will return in Sunday’s match against Fremantle, one of the AFL clubs rumoured to be interested in recruiting him.
Watts has missed the last three matches with a hamstring injury and is back along with Shannon Byrnes.
Jimmy Toumpas has an ankle injury and James Strauss was dropped for the Perth match.
The Dockers brought in Hayden Crozier to replace Michael Walters, who has an ankle injury.
Fremantle are said to be among eight clubs keen to lure Watts away from Melbourne, but Docker coach Ross Lyon said on Friday he wanted to re-sign current players first.
Hawthorn key defender Josh Gibson will return from an ankle injury for the Sunday MCG match against Gold Coast.
Sam Grimley will make his senior debut and Bradley Hill also returns.
The Hawks lost ruck-forward David Hale (ankle) and dropped Michael Osborne and Matt Spangher.
The Suns brought in Daniel Gorringe and Tom Murphy for Zac Smith (knee) and Harley Bennell (hamstring).
Adelaide brought in Jared Petrenko for Matthew Wright ahead of the Etihad Stadium clash on Sunday against North Melbourne, who are unchanged.
