Waubra has named Geordie Lukich to play his first game of the 2019 season in the top-of-the-table showdown with Rokewood-Corindhap.
Lukich, a top ruckman in the Central Highlands Football League, has been cautiously managed by the club after having off-season knee surgery.
"He had a knee clean-out in early January so we have just been super patient until he's been fully 100 per cent," coach Matt James said.
While Lukich is in, the club has decided to rest big man Ryan Head.
Head has a slight hamstring strain, which he picked up in the team's win over Hepburn before the Easter break.
Veteran recruit John Coleman is also among the ins after recovering from a calf issue.
Meanwhile, the news is not good for Rokewood-Corindhap defender Jono Willey, who is still feeling unwell from his head knock in round three.
Willey suffered concussion following a tackle in the team's win over Carngham-Linton and hasn't been able to return to work.
He will be missing for the Grasshoppers this Saturday, as will the important Mitch McLaughlin (unavailable).
Clunes has taken the unusual step of playing an in-season practice game to tune-up for the round four battle with Learmonth.
The Magpies, which had the bye in round three and another break the following weekend for Easter, took on Talbot in a clash at Smythesdale on April 13.
Forwards Matt Newton (hamstring) and Nick Hogan (concussion) will miss for Clunes this weekend, while veteran Jason Yole has been named to play his first senior game of 2019 after recovering from a foot issue.
The Magpies will come up against a Learmonth outfit that gets back handy pair Richard Zelencich and Nick Martin.
Skipton will be missing last season's best and fairest Kal Dubbeldam for the battle with Hepburn on Saturday.
Dubbeldam has other commitments and can't play against the Burras.
Hepburn will get back top defender Segifili Asa Leausa, who missed against Waubra through illness, but is likely to be without gun onballer Tommy Horne for the next month or so. Horne suffered a badly broken nose against the Roos and coach Clive Raak expects him to miss about six weeks.
Beaufort coach Rohan Brown has declared the season over for forward Tim Haase due to a foot injury and said top players Heath Black and Ben Hayes would be missing for the clash with Bungaree this Saturday.
Gordon is likely to debut young recruit Isaac McCabe in the battle with Newlyn, but is likely to be missing key figures Tye Murphy and Matt Hoy through injury.
Carngham-Linton has welcomed back a string of key players for the encounter with Creswick, while other games see Springbank and Dunnstown lock horns and Daylesford and Ballan go head-to-head.
