Waite was dropped for round four against Melbourne, a game the Blues lost by 23 points.
Dennis Armfield has also been dropped, while Marc Murphy returns after hamstring tightness forced the skipper to withdraw from last Sunday's loss to Greater Western Sydney.
The Blues have also named Blaine Johnson for his AFL debut. The 18-year-old was pick No. 43 in the 2014 rookie draft and was elevated to the main list earlier this year following the retirement of Heath Scotland.
Collingwood welcomes back Steele Sidebottom from suspension with Tyson Goldsack also returning. Marley Williams has been ruled out after rolling his ankle at training.
The Western Bulldogs’ injury woes continue with Jarrad Grant failing to recover from a hit to the nose. The Dogs have already lost Daniel Giansiracusa (suspension), Ryan Griffen (back) and Jordan Roughead (shoulder).
Impressive youngster Mitch Honeychurch will make his AFL debut for the Bulldogs. Sam Darley, Jake Stringer, and Lachie Stringer have also been included to face Melbourne.
The Demons have made four changes from the side that lost to North Melbourne. Dom Barry makes his AFL debut in his second year on Melbourne's list. Max Gawn, Daniel Nicholson and Dean Terlich also come in for Daniel Cross (leg), Jordie McKenzie (suspension), Aidan Riley and Tom McDonald.
Tom Lynch and Brad Crouch have been included for Adelaide in Sunday's vital Showdown at Adelaide Oval. Ben Rutten has been rested due to match-ups and David Mackay has also been withdrawn due to concussion.
Hamish Hartlett returns for the Power after missing last week with an ankle problem while Jarman Impey has also been included.
Geelong and Essendon have each made four changes for Friday night's crunch clash at Etihad Stadium, with ruckmen Hamish McIntosh and Tom Bellchambers both set to watch from the stands.
McIntosh, who will miss for the Cats with an ankle injury, has been replaced by Dawson Simpson, while the Bombershave dropped Tom Bellchambers and recalled tall utility Jake Carlisle.
Geelong will be boosted by the return of defender Harry Taylor, with George Horlin-Smith and Jed Bews recalled as the Cats look to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the Suns in round 15.
Matthew Stokes, who was subbed out of last week's loss with an ankle problem, will be a significant loss, with Billie Smedts and Josh Walker both omitted.
Star Bomber Paul Chapman is set to face his old team after being rested in round 15, with Kyle Hardingham and Jackson Merrett also named after impressive VFL performances.
As well as Bellchambers, the Bombers will be without Jason Winderlich (suspension), Elliot Kavanagh (omitted) and Mark Baguley (back).
The Hawks have made just one change for Saturday's clash with Gold Coast at Aurora Stadium, with defender Ben Stratton replacing omitted rookie Ben Ross.
The Suns have also made one change to the team that beat Geelong in round 14, with midfielder Jesse Lonergan replacing injured small forward Brandon Matera (groin).
West Coast ruckman Dean Cox will return for Saturday's Derby clash with Fremantle, replacing
Scott Lycett, who was linked to a possible move to Port Adelaide on Thursday.
The Eagles also included hard-nosed Patrick McGinnity, who replaces Patrick Cripps.
The Dockers made just one change but it was significant, with key defender Alex Silvagni not named because of a rib injury and replaced by young tall Matt Taberner.
His absence leaves the backline short, with Garrick Ibbotson possibly set to play tall. Comeback kid Anthony Morabito has been named as an emergency.
In the Sydney derby, GWS has recalled All Australian forward Jeremy Cameron, with Tom Boyd making way after his teammate recovered from an ankle injury.
The Swans have made two changes, with imposing tall Kurt Tippett and nippy forward Ben McGlynn replacing half-back Rhyce Shaw (ankle) and ruckman Tom Derickx (omitted).
S Kilda and Richmond have both been strengthened as they look to avoid the bottom of the ladder in Saturday's clash at Etihad Stadium.
The Saints regain senior midfielder Leigh Montagna, gun youngster Luke Dunstan and tall forward Rhys Stanley, with Farren Ray, Tom Lee and Brodie Murdoch all omitted.
The Tigers have dropped ruckman Shaun Hampson and lost goalkicker Aaron Edwards, with Ty Vickery and former skipper Chris Newman coming into the team.
The Brisbane Lions have swung the axe after their crushing loss to Fremantle in round 15, dropping Nick Robertson, Tom Cutler and Zac O'Brien, with Darcy Gardiner rested.
Young midfielder James Aish returns to face North Melbourne alongside Ash McGrath, Ryan Lester and Daniel McStay.
The Kangaroos have made one forced change, with debutant rookie Max Warren replacing injured small forward Robin Nahas (shoulder).
