WEST Coast will send out 17 premiership players, including Norm Smith medallist Luke Shuey, for its JLT Community Series opener against Geelong in Perth on Friday night.

Andrew Gaff returns for his first competitive hit-out since his infamous strike on young Docker Andrew Brayshaw, while Brad Sheppard is back after missing the Grand Final with a hamstring injury.

Ex-St Kilda recruit Tom Hickey was also named.

JLT FULL FIXTURE Where your team's playing its warm-up games

The only missing Eagles from the 2018 Grand Final are Josh Kennedy (leg/shoulder), Jamie Cripps (toe), Will Schofield, Scott Lycett (Port Adelaide) and Mark LeCras (retired).

The Cats have also selected a strong squad, headlined by Patrick Dangerfield, Joel Selwood, Tom Hawkins and Tim Kelly, but Gary Ablett is an emergency for the game at Leederville Oval.

Elsewhere, Jamie Elliott and Darcy Moore are set to play for Collingwood against Fremantle on Monday.

The Pies also named top draftee Isaac Quaynor and recruit Jordan Roughead, with Mason Cox and Adam Treloar the notable emergencies.

Former Demon Jesse Hogan will appear for Ross Lyon's Dockers, alongside fellow big-name newcomer Rory Lobb.

Richmond looks likely to take a star-studded line-up to Shepparton to face Melbourne.

Brownlow medallists Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin, plus Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance, are in the Tigers' squad, but Toby Nankervis may turn to Noah Balta for ruck support.

Tom Lynch (knee), Shaun Grigg (knee) and Josh Caddy (ankle) won't play.

The Demons named Braydon Preuss as their starting ruckman, with dual All Australian Max Gawn not in line to play as an emergency.

Co-captains Nathan Jones (hamstring) and Jack Viney (foot) are among a long list of Melbourne players unavailable.

Oft-injured midfielder Brad Crouch is a welcome sight in Adelaide's side to face the Power at Memorial Oval on Saturday.

Eddie Betts, Rory Sloane and Matt Crouch are also in the line-up, while Jack Watts will hope to put his headline-grabbing summer behind him when he plays for Port Adelaide.

Lycett and Paddy Ryder will get their first chance to combine as a ruck duo.

Brisbane selected recruits Lachie Neale and Lincoln McCarthy for its clash with Hawthorn at Moreton Bay Sports Complex on Sunday.

Emerging onballer Jarrod Berry is also in for the Lions despite his recent glandular fever setback.

The Hawks turned to youth, with new additions Jack Scrimshaw, Jacob Koschitzke, Mathew Walker, Will Golds and Damon Greaves among them.

North Melbourne will roll out Jared Polec, Dom Tyson, Jasper Pittard and Aaron Hall against St Kilda at Avalon Airport Oval.

Coleman Medal runner-up Ben Brown is also set to play after off-season hip surgery.

Saints fans will also get a look at their fresh additions, including ex-Demon Dean Kent, Matthew Parker, Nick Hind and Callum Wilkie.

Greater Western Sydney will be without Toby Greene (ankle), Nick Haynes (back), Adam Tomlinson (calf) and Jon Patton (knee) for its derby with the Swans at Blacktown on Saturday night.

However, the Giants' top two draft picks from last year, Jye Caldwell and Jackson Hately, are in the squad.

Lance Franklin is Sydney's biggest-name absentee, but the news is mostly good, with valuable tall Sam Reid in and draftees Nick Blakey and James Rowbottom also playing.

Tom Liberatore will start his potentially career-defining season for the Western Bulldogs against Gold Coast at Great Barrier Reef Arena.

Joining him in the Bulldogs' team are top-10 draft pick Bailey Smith, father-son selection Rhylee West, premiership Hawk Taylor Duryea and mature-ager Ben Cavarra.

The Suns are similarly full of fresh faces, including Jordan Murdoch, Sam Collins, George Horlin-Smith and Chris Burgess and blue-chip draftees Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine and Ben King.
