But it's the Western Bulldogs that have shaken things up, naming key defenders Alex Keath and Josh Bruce after a stint at in the VFL at the expense of Ryan Gardner and Tim O'Brien. Wingman Oskar Baker has also been dropped.

The pair will have a difficult first-up assignment, with Port Adelaide recalling full-forward Charlie Dixon after he missed a month with a quad injury, while Travis Boak also returns from two weeks out with a rib problem.

Coleman is one of three changes for the Lions team that lost against the Crows before their bye, with Deven Robertson in for the suspended Dayne Zorko and Jack Payne returning from concussion.
