Todd Goldstein makes his return to the line-up this week to take on the Cats on Saturday night at Etihad Stadium.

The All-Australian ruckman was unable to take his spot against Richmond in Hobart with a knee complaint, but got through training on Thursday and declared himself a certain starter.

The man who replaced him last week, Majak Daw, comes out of the side and has been placed on the emergency list.

Aaron Mullett has been selected for his fourth game of the season so far, with Sam Wright out for an extended period with an ankle injury.

Farren Ray and draftee Corey Wagner have also been named as emergencies.
