LENNY Hayes, Simon Black and Tom Hawkins lead the inclusions ahead of round two of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season, while Terry Wallace has made five changes at Richmond after a disappointing start to the year.

Adelaide regains experienced pair Scott Thompson and Graham Johncock for Friday night's clash against the Saints, but loses swingman Scott Stevens.

The 27-year-old complained of hamstring soreness following Wednesday's training session while Myke Cook, who made his debut in last week's win over Collingwood, also exits the side.

Cook is an emergency with Jonathon Griffin and Robert Shirley.

St Kilda has made just the one change with Hayes coming in for Raphael Clarke, who injured his hamstring in the win over the Sydney Swans.

Colm Begley, Robert Eddy and Ben McEvoy are the emergencies.

Hawkins' five second-half goals in the VFL last week were enough to kick him into Geelong’s senior side against Richmond at Skilled Stadium on Saturday.

The Cats made two changes to the side that beat the reigning premiers, with Hawkins replacing Tom Lonergan and young midfielder Simon Hogan earning a debut in place of small forward Mathew Stokes.

Both Stokes and Lonergan go out of the side with general soreness.

Richmond will have two debutants – Alex Rance and Robin Nahas – after Wallace swung the axe in the wake of his team’s disappointing first-up effort against Carlton last Thursday night.

The Tigers have made five changes – two of them forced – as they look for a far superior performance against the competition’s form team of the past two seasons.

Ben Cousins (hamstring) and Andrew Raines (knee) are out with injury, but Jordan McMahon, Will Thursfield and young ruckman Andrew Browne will have to re-earn their positions at senior level after being dropped.

Defender Rance and newly-elevated rookie Nahas will be joined by former Bomber Tom Hislop, who will also play his first game for the club and provide some extra grunt.

Jake King and Angus Graham are the two others recalled for what is arguably the toughest road trip in the competition.

Collingwood has important defender Heath Shaw recovered from a hamstring injury, however, the inclusion of two other players for Saturday's clash with Melbourne will create greater interest for Magpie fans.

Former North Melbourne big man Leigh Brown, who has been named at full-forward, plays his first game in the black and white while the exciting Brad Dick comes into the team for his first game since round eight, 2007.

Dick has been on the comeback trail from a knee reconstruction and has played at VFL level in recent weeks.

Chris Bryan, Tyson Goldsack and Ben Reid have all been omitted and it appears veteran Anthony Rocca will have to wait at least one more week before contemplating a return to AFL action.

Melbourne has been forced to make two changes to the side that lost to the Kangaroos last week.

Colin Sylvia, sanctioned by his teammates for being out late during the pre-season, returns to the line-up while Stefan Martin also comes in for his first match of 2009.

The Demons will be without Colin Garland (foot) and Simon Buckley (groin).

Carlton's match committee couldn't find room for Shaun Grigg and Andrew Walker and will go unchanged into Saturday night's match against the Lions. The pair missed the 83-point thumping of the Tigers and could not dislodge any of last week's four debutants.

They have been named as emergencies along with ruckman Shaun Hampson.

Brownlow Medallist Simon Black is back for the Brisbane Lions after a pre-season hampered by a raft of injuries, including a broken hand.

He comes into the side with Albert Proud, who gathered 40 possessions in an AFLQ practice match last weekend. Scott Harding and Tom Collier make way.

Tim Notting is the third emergency.

The Sydney Swans will take a punt on youth as they come up against the might of Hawthorn at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.

Brett Meredith, a midfielder and the club’s second-round pick in the 2007 NAB AFL Draft, will play his first senior match.

The Swans made two changes to the side that was kept goalless by St Kilda for more than two quarters last week.

Meredith and Luke Ablett, a late withdrawal last week, come into the team at the expense of the experienced Amon Buchanan and fellow midfielder Ed Barlow.

Hawthorn has regained premiership defender Xavier Ellis for Saturday night’s clash with the Swans.

The classy left-footer is one of four inclusions for the reigning premier, forced to swing the changes to accommodate injuries in the early part of the season.

The Hawks regain ruckman Robert Campbell from injury while Josh Kennedy and Jarryd Morton have been added to the senior line-up.

Simon Taylor (suspension), Travis Tuck (shoulder), Michael Osborne (hamstring) and Matthew Suckling (corked quad) will miss.

Essendon will make at least two changes to the side defeated by the Power with Sam Lonergan (finger) and Michael Hurley (quad) unavailable.

The Bombers could hand debuts to Irishman Michael Quinn and David Zaharakis, who was pick No. 23 at the 2008 NAB AFL Draft. Both have been named in the starting 18.

Darcy Daniher and David Myers have also been selected to start on the field with fellow inclusion Tom Bellchambers on the bench.

After serving an eight-match suspension, utility Dean Solomon goes straight into Fremantle's starting 18 while Roger Hayden and Scott Thornton have been included on an expanded bench.

The Western Bulldogs added three to a squad of 25 ahead of Sunday's match-up with the Kangaroos.

Tim Callan, Jarrod Harbrow and Liam Picken join the side that defeated Fremantle by 63 points last week. Rookie-listed Picken, 22, will make his AFL debut if he survives Friday's final selection.

North Melbourne also has a settled look about its line-up, having three fresh players on a seven-man bench. Ben Ross, Daniel Harris and Todd Goldstein are hopeful of breaking into the side that dispatched Melbourne in the opening round of the season.

Adam Selwood and Ben McKinley return for West Coast while Adam Hunter, Ryan Davis and Brett Jones are in the squad of 25.

Davis was elevated off the rookie list on Thursday to replace the long-term injured Beau Waters (elbow).

Rookie Wade Thompson is in the mix to play his first game as Port Adelaide ponders a change ahead of its clash with the Eagles.

The Power must replace suspended ruckman Dean Brogan with Thompson, Tom Logan, Matt Thomas or the taller Toby Thurstans.
