Talented young midfielder Joel Selwood, the 2007 NAB Rising Star and a member of last year's premiership team, has been replaced by Brent Prismall – who will play his second game of the season.
Selwood pulled up sore from last weekend's win over Carlton.
The Kangaroos will line up as named.
The two sides last met in last year's qualifying final, with the Cats winning by 106 points.
