Ben Brown is set for his first game at VFL level since August 2014, after being omitted from the North side.
The big man will return to familiar territory at Werribee, where he spent the season being drafted by the Roos in 2013.
With Daniel Currie ruled out for another week due to a foot injury, Brown is set to share the ruck duties with fellow Kangaroo Eric Wallace.
The American rookie was only promoted from the Development League last week, but has another big job on his hands with Majak Daw called up to the AFL.
Kayne Turner and Kieran Harper loom as dangerous options around the goals for John Lamont's side, with Mason Wood likely to spend time between the midfield and attack.
Scott McMahon will lead the defensive unit for the clash against Coburg, with Luke McDonald and Will Fordham through the midfield - the former's availability dependent on whether he travels as the AFL emergency.
The Tigers are fifth on the table, just one win behind ladder-leader Box Hill.
Meanwhile, North Ballarat is desperate to get on the board with a victory against the 14th-placed Richmond outfit.
Aaron Black has been in strong form in recent weeks, but will need to improve his finishing around the goals to be considered for a call-up.
The Roosters will also boast a good contingent of North-listed players in their defensive half, with Max Warren, Joel Tippett and Aaron Mullett (North emergency) all named.
Ryan Bastinac and Brad McKenzie are among the on-ball brigade for Gerard FitzGerald's team, with the former a chance to travel as an AFL emergency.
The pair will be joined by ruckman Braydon Preuss in the middle of the ground.
Taylor Garner (hand) faces a test at training to determine his availability.
