ANDREW Swallow's future at North Melbourne is back in the spotlight, with the former skipper axed again ahead of Sunday's clash with Carlton at Etihad Stadium.
Meanwhile, wingman Lewis Jetta has been recalled by West Coast amid five Eagles changes following last Sunday's capitulation to Essendon, and top-10 pick Matt Scharenberg is back for Collingwood 630 days since his last appearance.
Swallow, who turns 30 next Friday, was recalled from Werribee for his first senior game in a month for last round's fighting win against Melbourne and gathered 17 touches while laying nine tackles.
But the three-time club champion has been demoted back to the VFL with coach Brad Scott recalling inside ball-winner Trent Dumont, who returns from concussion after a week on the sidelines, in the Roos' only change.
The Blues have lost Dale Thomas (concussion) and defender Sam Rowe (ACL), replacing the experienced duo with speedy forward Liam Sumner and Harrison Macreadie.
West Coast coach Adam Simpson has brought back Jetta for his first senior game since round three ahead of Sunday's battle with an undermanned GWS at Domain Stadium.
Jetta delivered 10 inside 50s and laid five tackles for East Perth last weekend and has finally earned a recall for the under-siege Eagles, alongside young defender Jackson Nelson, veteran Drew Petrie, Will Schofield and Josh Hill.
Simpson has dropped Kurt Mutimer, Tom Barrass, Jack Redden and Fraser McInnes, while Sharrod Wellingham (ankle) is out injured.
The injury-ravaged Giants have turned to Harry Himmelberg and fellow academy graduate Matt Kennedy to replace stars Steve Johnson (knee) and Rory Lobb (groin) for the trip west.
GWS will be aiming for the club's first win over the Eagles – the only side yet to lose to the Giants.
Collingwood has brought in defender Scharenberg and Tim Broomhead for its clash against the Brisbane Lions at the MCG.
Scharenberg has endured a wretched run with injuries – including two knee reconstructions - since he was drafted with pick six in 2013, and will make just his fifth appearance at senior level.
James Aish (cheekbone) and backman Henry Schade (omitted) make way for the Pies, who are gunning for their fourth win.
The Lions have made five changes as they bid to end an eight-game losing streak.
Daniel McStay, Tom Cutler, Ryan Bastinac, Rhys Mathieson and Archie Smith are into the line-up, while Josh Walker, Tom Bell, Ryan Harwood and Michael Close have been dropped.
Claye Beams has suffered a hamstring injury and will miss at least a week.
