Experienced West Coast Eagles midfielder Jack Graham will play his first game since Gather Round amid four changes to the line-up to face Carlton on Saturday.

Graham has been joined in the team by half-back Tom McCarthy, exciting youngster Willem Duursma and tough utility Jack Hutchinson.

Graham returns from a shoulder injury that required surgery and an extended stint on the sidelines, while Duursma (calf) and McCarthy (hamstring) have both been included after missing the round 14 clash with the Kangaroos before the bye.

Hutchinson will play his first game since picking up a hamstring injury six weeks ago in the win over the Giants.

The quartet of returning Eagles come into the team for young trio Josh Lindsay, Harvey Johnston and Tom Gross, who have been omitted, and experienced midfielder Tim Kelly (hamstring tightness).

Kelly was ruled out after pulling up sore from training on Thursday morning.

Lindsay, Gross and Jack Williams have been named as emergencies.

Saturday’s clash at Marvel Stadium gets underway at 1.15pm (11:15am WST) and will be broadcast live on Channel 7 and 7plus in WA, and nationally on Fox Footy and Kayo.
