Mid-season draftee Robbie Hansen jnr is one of three ins for Sunday afternoon's clash with West Coast at Optus Stadium.

The small forward found out he would be making his AFL debut in his home state of Western Australia on Friday afternoon during the team selection meeting.

Co-captain Jy Simpkin returns after missing two weeks due to concussion protocols, while utility Kayne Turner has been named to make his first AFL start since Round 7.

Liam Shiels (calf), Daniel Howe and Cooper Harvey are the players to make way as the Kangaroos aim to end their long hunt for a win by completing a season double over the Eagles.

North Melbourne great Jack Ziebell will play as the tactical substitute in one of his final games for the club after he announced his retirement on Friday.

The former captain confirmed the selection news to reporters in Friday's press conference at Arden St.
