BOTH West Coast and Fremantle will welcome back a host of big names this weekend as they face testing assignments.
The Eagles have swung five changes after last weekend’s hiding at the hands of Geelong, with skipper Darren Glass and midfield trio Chris Masten, Luke Shuey and Matt Rosa all coming in to face Port Adelaide at Patersons Stadium on Saturday night.
Mark Hutchings will play his first game of the season after impressing for WAFL side East Perth.
Scott Lycett, Will Schofield, Sam Butler, Brant Colledge and Patrick McGinnity have all been dropped.
At Fremantle, Nat Fyfe (suspension) and Chris Mayne (ankle) will both make returns when the Dockers take on struggling Sydney at the SCG.
Fyfe boasts a fine record at the ground, polling nine of a possible 12 Brownlow votes in four games at the venue.
Josh Simpson and Hayden Crozier – both thought to be battling for a small forward berth in Michael Walters’ absence – have been dropped.
