Will Walker is set to play his first game since Round 22, 2018, after overcoming a serious knee injury. 

Rhyce Shaw had hinted at changes during his weekly media conference, with managing player loads vital during a busy fixture in the coming weeks.

“We've got two four-day breaks, so we've got to make sure our team is fresh and ready to go for each of those games,” Shaw said. 

Nick Larkey, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Kyron Hayden are all being managed and will miss the game, while Curtis Taylor (knee) will be sidelined for three weeks.
