Jy Simpkin and Hugh Greenwood are locked and loaded for Sunday's match against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.

The experienced midfield duo missed last weekend’s clash with Greater Western Sydney following head knocks suffered against Essendon in Round 12.

They will bolster a midfield rotation featuring this week’s Rising Star in George Wardlaw and emerging talent Will Phillips.

Key defender Aidan Corr keeps his spot in the side after coming on as the tactical substitute against the Giants.

Darcy Tucker, Aaron Hall and youngster Miller Bergman make way this week.

Spearhead Nick Larkey starts at full-forward after turning his back on free agency to sign a new five-year contract extension on Friday morning. The huge deal will keep Larkey at the club until at least the end of 2029.

Tucker, Hall, Bergman and Kayne Turner are the emergencies for Sunday’s game, with one of them to be named as the tactical substitute an hour before the bounce.
