Greater Western Sydney has welcomed back three stars for the Giants’ clash with Carlton.
Shane Mumford, Lachie Whitfield and Brett Deledio will all play as the Giants look to bounce back from last week’s horror performance against Hawthorn.
However, it’s not all good news for the club, with Stephen Coniglio to miss through injury.
The Blues have welcomed back Nic Newman and Harrison Macreadie for Tom Williamson and Lachie Plowman.

SUPERCOACH: MOST POPULAR ROUND 9 TRADES
Less than a week after missing a shot after the siren to win the game for Essendon, David Myers has been dropped.
He is one of five changes at the Bombers, with coach John Worsfold searching for answers after three straight losses.
Myers is joined by Brayden Ham, Zac Clarke who will play for Essendon VFL.
Meanwhile, Devon Smith and Orazio Fantasia will miss with injury.
Collingwood will wait until Saturday before deciding whether or not star Jordan De Goey will face St Kilda at the MCG.
De Goey was on Thursday night named in the Magpies side, although he is in doubt after leaving the track early with shin soreness halfway through the day’s training session.
Magpies coach Nathan Buckley said De Goey would be given every opportunity to prove his fitness.

“He’s been battling with that lower leg soreness for the majority of the year,” Buckley said.
“We’ve been able to manage it pretty well.
Midfield duo Dayne Beams and Travis Varcoe were both named to return, while Mason Cox (ankle) will miss again.
“He’s missed some sessions but we would have expected him to finish today’s session so the medicos will have a look at that.
“At this stage we’re likely to select him and give him a little bit more time, but we definitely thought he has going to do the session today and he didn’t complete it.”
Buckley denied the shin issue was the same bone stress injury that hampered De Goey last season.
“How’s his form looked? He’s moving alright, isn’t he?” Buckley said.
“It’s not the bone stress that he missed with late last year.”
