PATRICK Dangerfield will have to wait a couple more weeks to return from his nagging hamstring injury after Geelong left the superstar midfielder out for Sunday's game against Sydney.

In Sunday's blockbuster at the MCG, Orazio Fantasia is out for the Blues due to a shoulder injury, while there's still no room for Brad Crouch in St Kilda's team despite his strong form in the VFL.

In other round 13 selection news, West Coast will debut mid-season rookie draft pick Jack Hutchinson, as opponent North Melbourne regains skipper Jy Simpkin (quad) but rests youngster Zane Duursma straight out of the bye.

Dangerfield has missed three of the past four matches with his hamstring niggle, but coach Chris Scott has decided to give the veteran another week off with the bye to follow.

The Cats have Mark Blicavs and Jhye Clark back in their squad after serving one-match suspensions, while the Swans have selected Tom McCartin in their 26-man squad.

Brisbane is getting closer to full strength, with Brandon Starcevich back from a calf problem to face the Western Bulldogs on Friday night, while Tom Liberatore is back following concussion to strengthen the midfield for Luke Beveridge's team.

Callan Ward comes straight back into Greater Western Sydney's team to face an unchanged Hawthorn after overcoming illness.

Crouch had 31 disposals in the VFL last week, but Ross Lyon has opted to go in with the same team that beat the Eagles last week against Gold Coast on Saturday night.

The Suns are also unchanged, with small forward Malcolm Rosas jnr needing to further prove himself at the lower level after returning from a hamstring injury last week.

The Eagles regain in-form forward Jake Waterman, with Jai Culley also coming in as Jack Williams and Zane Trew are omitted and Harley Reid misses through suspension.
