Former captain Jarrod Witts is among three inclusions for Gold Coast's massive AFL home game against Hawthorn.
Nick Holman also returns and Beau Addinsall will make his AFL debut as the Suns dropped Ben Jepson, Charlie Ballard and Lachlan Gulbin for Friday night's clash.
The Hawks regain star defender Tom Barrass from a hamstring injury for his first game since round 10, with coach Sam Mitchell under no illusions about what reception awaits them on the Gold Coast.
The Suns are on a three-game skid, sparking speculation this week about tension at the club.
Hawthorn also badly need a win, having blown a lead and losing to the Western Bulldogs before their mid-season bye.
"They're not going to be the last team that go down to GMHBA (Stadium) and don't come away with four points," Mitchell said of Gold Coast's loss last Friday night to Geelong.
