- Eagles lose Scott Selwood to injury, first-round pick to debut
- Swans bring back co-captain Jarrad McVeigh
- Magpies pick Steele Sidebottom replacement
WEST Coast vice-captain Scott Selwood will miss Friday night's game against Carlton with an ankle injury, but the Sydney Swans will be bolstered for their clash against Port Adelaide by co-captain Jarrad McVeigh's return from a calf injury.
Earlier on Thursday, Geelong coach Chris Scott announced star midfielder Steven Motlop would miss Sunday's clash against Fremantle after failing to meet the club's off-field standards.
Other big names to return this round include Hawthorn playmaker Grant Birchall and Gold Coast spearhead Tom Lynch.
