Hamish McIntosh will come in to the side to face the mammoth task of butting heads with Dockers giant Aaron Sandilands.
Making way for McIntosh is Dawson Simpson who has been omitted.
In their last battle McIntosh broke even with Sandilands finishing with near identical disposals, marks and hitouts.
The Cats will look to use the match against a fellow top four side to consolidate their double chance ahead of finals.
Fans at home and at the game will be able to tune into Home Ground Advantage presented by Carlton Draught pre-game from 6.30pm on the Simonds Stadium big screen and on the Cats website.
The panel of afl.com.au’s Adam McNicol, The Age’s Peter Hanlon and injured Cat Daniel Menzel will chat exclusively with Jimmy Bartel and Steve Johnson in the rooms, whilst Cats legend Billy Brownless will have a beer with former teammate Marty Christensen, and all the sides and analysis of the big game as well.
