In other round 20 team news, Essendon has named Darcy Parish, first-year star Colby McKercher (soreness) is one of three outs for North Melbourne and Lachie Schultz and Mason Cox are back to bolster Collingwood.

However, the Magpies opponents Richmond will again be without Dustin Martin.

McGovern is back for the Blues following two weeks out, to face a Port team that is still missing Todd Marshall (hip), but has regained Kane Farrell.

The Western Derby has some added spice with the Eagles recalling Yeo, McGovern, Jake Waterman and Jack Darling to face the red-hot Dockers.

McKercher has been joined on the sidelines by Zac Fisher (foot) and Eddie Ford (ankle) for the Kangaroos, who face a Geelong outfit that has named Tanner Bruhn.

Chris Fagan has named Jaxon Prior to bolster Brisbane's ailing defence for Saturday's QClash against Gold Coast, adding young forward Logan Morris in a sign that Eric Hipwood could switch ends.

Damien Hardwick has made three changes from the team beaten by Greater Western Sydney, with co-captain Jarrod Witts back for the first time in a month.

After being dropped last week, Peter Wright and Dyson Heppell are also back for the Bombers alongside Parish.

In Sunday's games, Nick Vlastuin will return from a back injury to face the Magpies.

Callum Mills is back for Sydney after being rested last week to face a Western Bulldogs team that has managed young gun Ryley Sanders.

Adelaide has named veteran Taylor Walker to take on Hawthorn.
