SAM Walsh will play his first game for Carlton in 10 weeks, overcoming a foot injury and selected to face Port Adelaide on Saturday afternoon.
Adelaide is not mucking around for its bumper clash with Collingwood, recalling veteran Taylor Walker as one of four changes.
After playing his first game in more than two years last week, Tom Doedee has picked up another injury and will be missing for Brisbane’s match against Fremantle on Friday night.

In other round 23 team news Bailey Humphrey (injured) is out for Gold Coast and Steven May is back from suspension for Melbourne.
While the Crows have made four changes, the Magpies have made a few of their own, dropping Tom Mitchell and Will Hoskin-Elliott, but regaining Beau McCreery from his hamstring problem.
Walsh will play his first match since round 13 against Essendon, coming up against a Port team that has recalled Lachie Jones.
Doedee is one of four changes for Brisbane, with the Lions recalling Ryan Lester (concussion) and Brandon Starcevich, who missed last week’s loss to Sydney with “hamstring awareness”.
Kyle Langford is back for Essendon on Friday night to face a St Kilda team that has made three changes.
Sydney has named Will Hayward for Sunday’s match against Geelong, who have Patrick Dangerfield back in its 22 after the veteran was managed last week.
