Co-coach Shane Threlfall said forward Aaron Searle, who has kicked 43 goals this season, would miss with a hamstring injury he sustained against Kolora-Noorat on the weekend.
Ruckman Inoke Ratu is unavailable and Daniel Craven is out for the week after he suffered concussion in the loss to the Power.
The Tigers have two changes.
Jye Wilson (calf) and Oliver Watson will miss with soreness with Josh Keilar and Josh Sobey to replace them.
Sobey has played two matches in the seniors this season.
Meanwhile, Panmure has lost Brad Cook (hamstring) and Liam Bishop (groin) to soft tissue injuries ahead of its must-win match against Russells Creek.
"They've been carrying them for the past three or four weeks and they're (the injures) gradually getting worse and worse,' coach Chris Bant said.
Thomas White and Tommy Jones come in for their injured teammates.
Creek is coming off a bye.
Allansford, the other side fighting the Bulldogs fifth-spot, has one change with Matthew Lenehan coming in for injured assistant coach Nick Johnstone.
The Cats mentor injured his hamstring against Panmure last week.
Allansford meets fourth-placed Old Collegians in its important clash.
Warriors coach Nick Sheehan has been able to put some big-names back on the clipboard this week.
Josh Reichman is back from a sore calf and Daniel Weel returns from a hamstring complaint.
Zachary Pickett and Jamie McKenzie are also back in the line-up while Lachlan Young, Tim Lewis and Connor Barby are outs.
Barby will miss after suffering concussion against East Warrnambool.
Dennington will welcome its coach, Mick Phillips, back to the field for the first time since round nine.
Since his knee injury Phillips has coached from the sidelines.
The playing coach will be joined by John Vincent, Tully Allwood, Ethan Dowd, Dillon Paton and Josh Keen.
Vincent is back from a knee injury, Allwood a groin and Paton a foot.
Ben Moor, Lachlan Waters, Jack Honan, Caleb Arthur and Jack Lock make way.
East Warrnambool's Roy Oakley is unavailable this week and will miss the Dogs' clash.
But Jesse Cruickshank, Corey Brown and Reihana Heremaia are ready to go for Saturday.
Timboon Demons welcome back Ewan Flanagan, Nathan Gillingham and Brandon Barnett to take on South Rovers.
The Lions regain Trent Harman, Eamon Dowd, Thomas White and Joseph Higgins.
