Skipper Nick Maxwell will miss after injuring his calf in the draw with Melbourne while Josh Fraser, Jaxson Barham, Brent Macaffer and Paul Medhurst have all been omitted.??
The Magpie midfield will be buoyed by the return of injured stars Ball (groin), Didak (hip) and Johnson (ankle), with all three players benefiting from the bye week to only miss just one match. For Ball it will be his first time playing on the ANZ Stadium surface having played on three previous occasions in Sydney all at the SCG.??
After booting five majors in the VFL loss last round, Dawes has earned a recall and will appear in his seventh senior game this year. The 22-year-old has looked comfortable at the highest level averaging 5.5 marks and 1.5 goals per game.??
Coming in for the injured captain is Goldsack for his first AFL game of the year. The 23-year-old has played in 45 senior games since his first season in 2007 and has been a standout in the VFL this year averaging 17 disposals in his last five games.??
Fraser, who is one game shy of notching 200 career games, is named as an emergency alongside Macaffer and Barham.??
