Hampden league round 16 teams: Forwards to bolster teams

The 30-year-old, who has kicked 14 goals from 12 matches this season, returns to the side after missing the previous match against Warrnambool and will be a key magnet on coach Dan Casey's whiteboard.

Important goal kicker Jack Hutt comes out of the side for the Bombers after injuring his knee and has been playing with a significant ACL injury.

Bombers assistant coach Jake Evans said the group had plenty to play for over the course of the remaining three matches with finals likely out of the equation.

The Bombers sit sixth on the table with three games to play, 12 points adrift of Warrnambool in fifth.

"We've set a standard now at the club so the last three games are our finals now," he said.

"We'll treat it like finals, the boys are hungry to finish off the season strong.

There was 40 guys on the track (on Thursday night) so there's plenty of numbers and the energy is great.

"The mood is up and the boys are really keen to play to a high standard, we just have to finish off games when it's there to be won, that's our challenge."

Camperdown will make three changes to its side for the clash against Warrnambool at home on Saturday.

Gun captain Sam Gordon will return to the Magpies' side, coach Neville Swayn confirmed.

The Magpie sharpshooter - who has kicked 49 goals from 13 matches this season - missed the loss against Koroit and will provide plenty of leadership and starpower.

"Sam's a huge in for us, which is good," Swayn said.

Young gun Myles Sinnott and Zach Anderson also return to bolster the Magpies' team. Tom Baker (unavailable), Archie McBean (thumb) and Nick Jones (omitted) come out of the side.

The Magpies mentor said Blues were a big challenge for his group to overcome but was confident they could be competitive.

"That's the mindset we've got to go in with - we've proven over the last month if we can string four quarters together we can play great footy," he said.

"We went away from that last week against Koroit so that's the challenge for us this week - if we play our style we'll give ourselves a chance to win."

Warrnambool has been forced into four changes for its clash with the Magpies, with skipper Sam Cowling a big loss for the Blues.

Cowling - who returned after a long layoff from a knee injury last round - will miss Saturday's clash with coach Ben Parkinson confirming it had "flared up" and not re-injured.

"That finals position is probably guaranteed so it's not worth injuring it and putting him in doubt for finals," he said.

Damien Mccorkell, Brad Bull and Cooper Hoffmann are the others to come out of the Blues' side, with Tom Ludeman, Tim O'Keefe, Lochie Worden and Amon Radley returning to the side.
