Geelong regain Mitch Duncan, Collingwood name Jordan de Goey, Richmond name Dion Prestia

HAWTHORN rookie David Mirra has finally got his AFL chance almost 10 years since first nominating for the draft while St Kilda has made four changes. SUNDAY TEAMS CONFIRMED

DAVID Mirra has waited almost 10 years for his AFL chance.

The Hawthorn rookie will finally make his debut on Sunday against Melbourne at the home of football, the MCG. Mirra, 27, was drafted after excellent form for the Hawks’ VFL affliate Box Hill. BIG OUT: SUPERCOACH SHOCK! KELLY INJURED BRERETON: DERM’S ADVICE FOR NO.1 PICKS SEE THE ROUND 4 TEAMS IN OUR BLOG BELOW ROUND 4: SEE THE HERALD SUN EXPERTS’ TIPS PATIENCE? ESSENDON FANS WON’T LIKE THIS James Sicily returns from suspension for Hawthorn while Conor Glass also earns a recall with Kaiden Brand, Will Langford and Ryan Burton out. After a week of criticism, St Kilda has made four changes for its clash against Geelong. Jimmy Webster, Josh Bruce, David Armitage and Nathan Wright pay the price for the Saints’ lacklustre start to the season with Sam Gilbert, Tom Hickey, Jack Steele and Jack Lonie recalled. The Cats have also been forced to make four changes as injury continues to bite. Mitch Duncan returns from a one-week injury along with Rhys Stanley, Jordan Cunico and Jordan Murdoch. Gary Ablett, Cameron Guthrie and Nakia Cockatoo are all hurt while James Parsons has been dropped. Essendon will debut Matt Guelfi against Port Adelaide in place of the suspended Conor McKenna while the Power have named Trent McKenzie and Karl Amon. Richmond has regained key midfielders Josh Caddy and Dion Prestia for its clash against Brisbane on Saturday. Caddy served a one-week suspension while Prestia has proved his fitness after battling injury throughout the pre-season. Sam Lloyd and debutant Jack Higgins are omitted. Brisbane has regained captain Dayne Beams after he was a late out last week while Zac Bailey will make his AFL debut On Friday night, Collingwood has recalled Jordan de Goey after his impressive return in the VFL. Having served an “indefinite” club ban and then overcoming a hamstring injury, de Goey impressed in the Magpies massive win last week and replaces Taylor Adams. Adams - and forward Jamie Elliott - suffered hamstring strains at training during the week. The Magpies prime-time opponent, Adelaide, has made one change with top draft pick Darcy Fogarty replacing the injured Lachie Murphy. The biggest shock of the night was Josh Kelly’s groin injury at GWS. The reigning best-and-fairest will miss one week but the Giants have regained Toby Greene and Ryan Griffen for the clash against Fremantle in Canberra. The Dockers are unchanged after defeating Gold Coast last week. In Tasmania, Carlton have recalled Jack Silvagni as well as Cam O’Shea and have handed No.10 draft pick Lochie O’Brien his AFL debut. Caleb Marchbank, Cameron Polson and Jed Lamb are all out. North Melbourne has kept the faith in Majak Daw despite Robbie Tarrant’s return with Nathan Hrovat the only out after injuring his hand. Finally, St Kilda and Essendon have for the time being resisted mass changes. The under-pressure clubs will name their final 22 on Friday but Conor McKenna (suspension) is the only confirmed out at the Bombers while Jimmy Webster (injury), Nathan Wright (omitted) are the only outs at this stage at St Kilda. Geelong could hand Charlie Constable his AFL debut against the Saints while Hawthorn has included David Mirra and Mitch Lewis in their extended squad to face Melbourne.
