Essendon v Sydney
Preview
There will be at least one change for the Bombers with Paul Chapman to miss through suspension. Ben Howlett is the logical replacement after he was rested last week. Tom Bellchambers has been in the mix for the past month with coach Mark Thompson saying 'he is a chance'. David Myers is another who could return having recovered from a hamstring injury. Youngsters Martin Gleeson, Jackson Merrett, Kurt Aylett and Patrick Ambrose are all in the gun.
Hard to see the Swans making too many changes after their confidence-boosting win over Hawthorn, but they do have plenty pushing for selection. Ryan O'Keefe, Tom Mitchell, Gary Rohan and Lewis Roberts-Thomson could all come in if John Longmire wants to make a change. Jake Lloyd appears the only one likely to make way.
Richmond v Melbourne
Preview
The Tigers will need to find a replacement for Chris Newman after the veteran injured his calf against Geelong two weeks ago. Ricky Petterd should be the man to come in, but top draft pick Ben Lennon has been on the cusp for a number of weeks now and might finally get his chance this week. Nathan Foley is also in the mix with Nathan Gordon a strong chance to be dropped.
Paul Roos rarely makes changes to his side and this week should be no different. Doubts surround the fitness of Dean Terlich and James Frawley, but both should be right to play. Jimmy Toumpas and Viv Michie might come in to add some spark, but an unchanged line-up looks likely for the Dees.
North Melbourne v Brisbane
A massive inclusion for the Roos with captain Andrew Swallow to play his first game of the season. But Daniel Wells will have to wait another week as he continues to battle a foot complaint. Majak Daw faces a nervous wait, while Luke McDonald and Joel Tippett were the substitutes against the Suns and could go back to the reserves.
One forced change for the Lions with Matt Maguire suspended for the clash. Expect key forward Michael Close to come in with Daniel Merrett to move back to defence. The likes of Clay Beams, Ryan Harwood and Mitch Golby could also be called upon if Justin Leppitsch wants to make changes.
Fremantle v Geelong
Preview
Hayden Ballantyne had surgery during the week, but Ross Lyon expects the small forward to play. Stephen Hill is also in doubt, but will be named. Key defender Zac Dawson will play but Luke McPharlin will miss again. Alex Silvagni might be squeezed out to account for Dawson's return.
The Cats will regain Andrew Mackie for the clash, but lose Mathew Stokes to suspension. Jed Bews will also come in for his debut with Jackson Sheringham the man most likely to be dropped.
St Kilda v Gold Coast
Preview
Probably won't be any outs at this stage with just three names added to the 25-man squad. Terry Milera will be one of them, while the other two are likely to come from Brodie Murdoch, Seb Ross, Sam Dunnell, Dylan Roberton and Shane Savage.
The Suns have lost Tom Nicholls to injury, but will welcome back Zac Smith exactly a year after he ruptured his ACL. That is likely to be the only change, but don't be surprised to see Nathan Bock in the squad of 25 after a few strong performances in the reserves.
