FREMANTLE has locked in Stefan Giro and Scott Jones to debut against Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday, with veterans Michael Johnson and Hayden Ballantyne among four omissions.

ALL THE TEAMS Check 'em out

The Dockers have made a total of six changes for the clash, with Michael Apeness, Tommy Sheridan, Taylin Duman and Shane Kersten returning to the line-up.

Off-season recruit Brandon Matera has also been axed, while Danyle Pearce (omitted), Stephen Hill (quad) and Aaron Sandilands (concussion) were the other outs confirmed on Thursday.

Daniel Wells will return from his one week's rest, while Brayden Maynard and debutant Brody Mihocek complete the Pies' replacements for injured trio Jeremy Howe (bone bruising), Ben Reid (leg), and Travis Varcoe (hamstring).

Jones will take the place of Sandilands, with the 204cm ruckman to go head to head with in-form Magpies big man Brodie Grundy.

Adelaide will bring back wingman Paul Seedsman after he was a very late withdrawal from the team that lost to Melbourne in Alice Springs.

Defender Luke Brown has passed concussion protocols and will take his place in the Crows' line-up along with rookie forward Lachlan Murphy.

Greater Western Sydney has named Sam Taylor (Swan Districts) to debut, while Sam Reid and co-captain Phil Davis return. Tim Mohr (shoulder) is out injured while Dylan Buckley and Matt Buntine have been dropped.

Jordan Gallucci and Myles Poholke have been omitted.

Meanwhile, North Melbourne's Paul Ahern will finally debut against Brisbane at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 1285 days after being drafted.

Majak Daw also returns with Ryan Clarke and Sam Durdin both making way.

Reality TV winner Matt Eagles (abdomen) is out of the Brisbane side after four games and Ryan Lester will play his first game for the Lions since round six after kicking two goals in the NEAFL last week.
