TEAMS | Blues drop four, Giants, Cats, Dogs and Saints get stars back

Carlton has swung the axe at selection, dropping four players following their loss to Geelong.

They have been bolstered by the returns of Adam Cerra and David Cuningham, while Collingwood loses star midfielder Jordan De Goey.

There's good news in western Sydney, with Sam Taylor and Toby Greene returning, meanwhile St Kilda gets Max King and Mason Wood back.

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan returns for the Dogs after a two-week absence and Tom Liberatore has also been named. But Luke Beveridge has again dropped Caleb Daniel.

It's clearly a week for big-name ins, with Tom Stewart, Harley Reid, Archie Perkins, Jye Amiss and Oscar McInerney also returning at AFL level.
