Senior Roos Will Phillips and Jaidyn Stephenson will return to bolster the VFL side for the Roos's final home-and-away fixture against Southport on Saturday.
Stephenson returns after recovering from the hand injury that forced him out of last weekend's AFL side.
Phillips will compete at Reserves level after being omitted from the AFL team that was overrun by West Coast at Blundstone Oval.
The pair are joined by midfielder Tom Cappellari in this week's selected team.
Kallan Dawson and Miller Bergman come out of the side, having being called into duty for the AFL side, while key forward Lachlan Wynd also misses out.
Forward flyer Finnbar Maley is named up front after impressing in the Reserves' last outing against Williamstown in Round 19.
