- Knee outs Nick Riewoldt, Dogs dump Cloke and Redpath

- Gary Ablett to miss with shoulder as Suns turn to debutant

The Bulldogs have continued a cut-throat approach at selection, with forward Jack Redpath and Lukas Webb both dropped along with Cloke to make way for Jake Stringer, Shane Biggs and first-year ruckman Tim English.

The Saints have made two changes, recalling Shane Savage and Darren Minchington, with Luke Dunstan omitted for the clash against the reigning premiers.

In an intriguing night of selections, Gary Ablett has been left out with a shoulder injury, Carlton has lost Dale Thomas following concussion in round nine, and Drew Petrie has been named for the Eagles as Adam Simpson swings the axe.
