Tigers pair\u00a0Dion Prestia\u00a0and\u00a0Nick Vlastuin\u00a0are among four ins for the clash against Gold Coast, while\u00a0Mykelti Lefau will play his first game since suffering a knee injury in round 16 last year and a club-imposed suspension for drink driving which ruled him out of round one.<\/p>\n
Gibcus is something of a surprise omission, having just made his return to the senior team after a long run of injury problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlie Ballard\u00a0joins Humphrey among the Suns’ ins, with\u00a0Jy Farrar\u00a0and\u00a0Oscar Adams\u00a0making way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Saints have passed\u00a0Ryan\u00a0(shoulder) and\u00a0Phillipou\u00a0(quad) fit to face the unchanged Giants on Saturday, and have added\u00a0Rowan Marshall\u00a0and\u00a0Liam Stocker.\u00a0Jack Macrae\u00a0(knee) and\u00a0Isaac Keeler\u00a0(omitted) are out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rankine’s inclusion to face the Western Bulldogs after completing a four-game suspension for making a homophobic slur is the Crows’ only change, with young tall\u00a0Toby Murray\u00a0omitted. The Dogs have added tall forward\u00a0Jordan Croft\u00a0at the expense of\u00a0Will Lewis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Sunday’s teams news, West Coast has dropped\u00a0Tom Cole\u00a0and included\u00a0Tim Kelly among the extended bench to face North Melbourne, which has not selected George Wardlaw, while ruck Jordon Sweet\u00a0will come in for Port Adelaide’s clash against Essendon, which has added lively forward\u00a0Isaac Kako.\u00a0<\/p>\n
