West Coast have named Chris Judd, Dean Cox and Andrew Embley to play Collingwood at Subiaco Oval on Saturday, despite fitness concerns over the star trio.

Cox (quadricep) and Embley (groin) were both late withdrawals from the side that beat Sydney by a point last Saturday night.

Captain Judd has also been named, despite limping off the field with a corked thigh after the win over the Swans and training sparingly during the week.

Jaymie Graham and Mark LeCras were the players omitted.

Collingwood named an unchanged side from the one that scraped home against the Kangaroos in the opening round.

Geelong named highly-rated key forward Tom Hawkins for his first game, among three changes to their side for Saturday's Telstra Dome meeting with Carlton.

The 18-year-old son of star Geelong defender Jack Hawkins was swooped on by the Cats at the national draft under the father-son rule.

Hawkins' round two debut comes despite a stress fracture in his leg early in the year which disrupted his pre-season training.

The club has high hopes he will eventually be a major part of their attack, with the key forward role having been a major problem area for the Cats in recent seasons.

Another first-gamer Travis Varcoe was also included, along with quick midfielder Shannon Byrnes.

The Cats lost skipper Tom Harley to a finger injury, with Josh Hunt and Kane Tenace dropped from the side that lost to the Western Bulldogs.

The Blues, who beat Richmond in the opening round, named an unchanged side.

Sydney lost forward Nick Davis to a foot injury, but welcomes back Adam Schneider from a hamstring strain, among three changes to their side to play Richmond at the MCG on Saturday.

Heath Grundy and Tim Schmidt were included at the expense of Simon Phillips and Luke Vogels.

The Tigers, still missing ruck combination Troy Simmonds and Trent Knobel, named an unchanged side.

Adelaide has included Simon Goodwin and Brett Burton in their 25-man squad to play the Western Bulldogs at the MCG on Sunday, despite concerns over their fitness.

The Bulldogs lost defender Brett Montgomery to a chest injury, the only omission from their squad so far.

Port Adelaide, who still have captain Warren Tredrea sidelined with a knee injury, welcomed back star midfielder Peter Burgoyne from a thigh injury for Sunday's AAMI Stadium clash with the Kangaroos.

But goalsneak Daniel Motlop is out with an ankle injury.

The Kangaroos named former West Coast player Aaron Edwards on an extended bench in what would be his first game for the club.

Fremantle has lost Steven Dodd to suspension, but regains Matthew Carr for Sunday's Telstra Dome meeting with Essendon.

The Bombers added Ricky Dyson, Jason Laycock and Chris Heffernan to their squad, but were yet to omit any players.

Hawthorn added a large dose of experience to their squad for Monday's MCG clash with Melbourne.

Former captain Shane Crawford and hard-nosed defender Campbell Brown both return from suspensions handed out in the pre-season.

Forward Ben Dixon, the club's second-highest goalscorer last season, has also been included after off-season knee surgery set back his start to the year.

Melbourne lost young gun midfielder Brock McLean with a foot injury and dropped defender Ben Holland.

Mobile defender Jared Rivers was included, after missing the opening round with a hamstring injury, with Paul Wheatley, Nathan Brown, Clint Bizzell and Simon Godfrey also named in the squad.
