THREE premiership players are among West Coast's four inclusions for its clash with Port Adelaide at Subiaco Oval on Sunday.

Swingman Adam Hunter will play his first game of 2009, along with 2006 flag-winners Adam Selwood and Brett Jones.

Young forward Ben McKinley, the side's leading goalkicker last year, also gets his chance to impress as the Eagles search for their first win of the season.

Ryan Davis, Mark Seaby and Brent Staker are the emergencies.

Port Adelaide, in a bid to cover the loss of suspended ruckman Dean Brogan, has opted for height by recalling versatile Toby Thurstans for his 100th game.

Matt Thomas, Wade Thompson and Tom Logan will all be on standby for the clash.

For the early match on Sunday, Essendon has made four changes with coach Matthew Knights giving his youngsters the nod.

Irishman Michael Quinn, secured by the club in December, has enjoyed a fast ride to his AFL debut while draftee David Zaharakis also plays his first game.

Darcy Daniher and David Myers, who has overcome an ankle complaint, are others to join the 22.

Fremantle has recalled experienced pair Dean Solomon and Scott Thornton to face the Bombers.

Marcus Drum and Ryan Murphy make way but are emergencies for the clash, along with Roger Hayden, who is under a cloud with a hamstring strain.

The Western Bulldogs will blood elevated rookie Liam Picken in one of two changes to the side that downed Fremantle by 63 points last week.

Picken, the son of former Collingwood star Billy, is also the cousin of Brisbane Lions captain Jonathan Brown.

Tim Callan is the other Bulldog to come into the team, with Andrejs Everitt, Jarrod Harbrow and Stephen Tiller all awaiting late changes on the emergency list.

North Melbourne will have a fourth ruck option after bringing in Todd Goldstein for his fourth career game.

He replaces forward Josh Smith, who's now an emergency with Daniel Harris and Ben Ross.
