West Coast will give Brayden Ainsworth his first senior chance in more than two years to help fill the void left by injured skipper Luke Shuey against Adelaide on Saturday.
Ainsworth was named for just his fourth AFL game, and his first since Round 16, 2018, for the clash with the lowly Crows.
Jarrod Cameron will also make his first appearance of the season on the Gabba turf where his brother, Brisbane star Charlie, often produces magic.
