DUAL-PREMIERSHIP defender Dayna Cox will play her first game for the season in Adelaide's must-win clash against Collingwood.
With a top-two spot on the line, Cox has been named after missing the vast majority of the season with a hamstring injury.
Renee Forth makes way for Cox, with opponents Collingwood adding some height to their line-up, recalling draftee Bella Smith for Kristy Stratton.
EXPLAINER How will the top-six finals series work?
Carlton's finals hopes are done and dusted, but the Blues will go down swinging, bringing back Charlotte Wilson after the important key back was rested last week.
GWS has brought back an important defender itself, with Tanya Hetherington returning after a month on the sidelines with an ankle injury.
Sarah Halvorsen has also broken through for her second game of the year after last playing in round one, with Libby Graham and Jodie Hicks dropped.
West Coast will now be without its three best midfielders after Aisling McCarthy did not recover in time from a knee injury.
Also joining Dana Hooker (foot) and Emma Swanson (suspension) on the sidelines are Shanae Davison (injured) and Maddy Collier (concussion).
The Eagles have gone tall in response, naming Sophie McDonald, Kate Orme and Demi Liddle.
Opponent St Kilda has made just one change for its final game of the season, adding some run in Claudia Whitfort in place of tall forward Tamara Luke.
