The West Coast Eagles have settled on three changes for Sunday’s trip to face Hawthorn, with Tom Cole and Noah Long recalled to the 23 alongside Oscar Allen.
Cole is back in the line-up after one match for the WAFL Eagles, where he led the disposal count with 34 touches.
Long has had 19 and 17 disposals in his past two WAFL appearances, as well as four tackles in each match.
Cole and Long join co-captain Allen in returning to the side for the 4.45pm bouncedown (2.45pm AWST) at Marvel Stadium.
Gun onballer Tim Kelly has been forced out of the team by a toe issue, with full-back Harry Edwards dropped.
Emerging midfielder Tom Gross was also omitted after a bright start to his AFL career.
Gross was the starting sub for the Good Friday clash against Essendon and is an emergency for Sunday’s game, alongside Tyler Brockman and tall backman Sandy Brock.
Hawthorn started its season with four-straight wins before losing the past two to finals contenders Port Adelaide and Geelong, while West Coast fell short of a first win for 2025 by just two points against the Bombers.
