Footy Tragic

Plenty of changes this week for Port, with O’shea and Thomas the only two missing through injury. They will miss Thomas!
Pearce comes back after 30-odd touches in the SANFL on the weekend, whilst the likes of Shultz gets a reprieve with some good SANFL form.
Boak will be a welcome addition after he was injured last week.
Phillips will get his debut – he is a mature aged small forward with some senior experience at Norwood and was traded to Port through Gold Coast’s pre-listing scheme as he had spent two years on Sydney’s lists, where he averaged just 20 DT points. Should be better now after having some senior experience, but I would want to have a look at him first before trading him in.

Hawthorn

B: Brent Guerra, Stephen Gilham, Paul Puopolo

HB: Rick Ladson, Josh Gibson, Grant Birchall

C: Xavier Ellis, Sam Mitchell, Clinton Young

HF: Shane Savage, Lance Franklin, Liam Shiels

F: Shaun Burgoyne, Jarryd Roughead, Chance Bateman

Foll: Brent Renouf, Luke Hodge, Brad Sewell

I/C: Jordan Lewis, Brendan Whitecross, David Hale, Isaac Smith

Emg: Ryan Schoenmakers, Thomas Murphy, Kyle Cheney

In: Brendan Whitecross, Isaac Smith, Paul Puopolo

Out: Cyril Rioli (Hamstring), Matt Suckling (Knee), Cameron Bruce (Knee)

New: Isaac Smith (North Ballarat), Paul Puopolo (Norwood)

The big story here seems to be the two heavily hyped debuts, but what shouldn’t be missed are the three big outs – Bruce (5 weeks), Rioli (1 week) & Suckling (TBA).
Smith and Puopolo are both mature-aged picks for Hawthorn in last year’s draft, with Smith being picked up in the first round. They have both been in great form in the VFL and deserve their inclusions, although it must be remembered who they are coming in for – unless they really prove their capabilities immediately, they may find themselves making way for Suckling and Rioli next week.
Smith will likely be the sub as he played in the VFL on Sunday, giving him just a five day turnaround. Puopolo and Whitecross were both rested from the game in anticipation of selection this week.

WESTERN BULLDOGS V SYDNEY SWANS

MO – Sat May 07, 1:10pm

Western Bulldogs

B: Liam Picken, Lukas Markovic, Dale Morris

HB: Lindsay Gilbee, Tom L. Williams, Robert Murphy

C: Daniel Cross, Matthew Boyd, Justin Sherman

HF: Callan Ward, Liam Jones, Josh Hill

F: Jarrad Grant, William Minson, Daniel Giansiracusa

Foll: Ben Hudson, Adam Cooney, Ryan Griffen

I/C: Brennan Stack, Brodie Moles, Mitchell Wallis, Zephaniah Skinner

Emg: Dylan Addison, Nathan Djerrkura, Jayden Schofield

In: Daniel Giansiracusa, Brennan Stack, Ben Hudson, Zephaniah Skinner

Out: Dylan Addison, Brian Lake, Jordan Roughead, Thomas Liberatore (Soreness)

New: Zephaniah Skinner (Northern Territory)

Some big changes for the Dogs this week, with Hudson, Gia and Stack coming back in and Skinner set to debut.
Libba is the big out for DTers, but Lake’s relegation to the VFL is the real talking point from a DT perspective!
Good to see Mitch Wallis hold his spot!
Skinner is an enigmatic Jurrah-like forward – he is a tall indigenous player with a huge leap and showed in the pre-season that he is more than capable at senior level. He may just be a stop-gap until Hall returns, although he is a unique enough player to still keep his spot, even when BBBB does return.

Sydney Swans

B: Martin Mattner, Ted Richards, Andrejs Everitt

HB: Tadhg Kennelly, Heath Grundy, Nicholas Smith

C: Craig Bird, Josh P. Kennedy, Nathan Gordon

HF: Ben McGlynn, Sam Reid, Daniel Hannebery

F: Rhyce Shaw, Adam Goodes, Ryan O’Keefe

Foll: Shane Mumford, Jude Bolton, Jarrad McVeigh

I/C: Jarred Moore, Mike Pyke, Lewis Jetta, Alex Johnson

Emg: Brett Meredith, Lewis Johnston, Luke Parker

In: Heath Grundy, Nathan Gordon, Alex Johnson

Out: Paul Bevan, Kieren Jack (Ankle), Jesse White

New: Nathan Gordon (East Coast Eagles)

Kieren Jack is out with an ankle injury that will sideline him for approximately 6 weeks. White and Bevan have been dropped.
Grundy returns after a week off and Johnston gets another chance.
Parker will debut – he is a tough medium sized midfielder with reasonable ball-winning ability. The Swans seem quite excited to see him come in and he should be given Jack’s role in the midfield, which could certainly be beneficial from a DT perspective! Keep an eye on him over the next fortnight.

GEELONG CATS V NORTH MELBOURNE

SS – Sat May 07, 2:10pm

Geelong Cats

B: Josh Hunt, Matthew Scarlett, Tom Lonergan

HB: Corey Enright, Harry Taylor, James Kelly

C: Andrew Mackie, Joel Corey, Mathew Stokes

HF: Jimmy Bartel, Cameron Mooney, Daniel Menzel

F: Paul Chapman, James Podsiadly, Mitch Duncan

Foll: Brad Ottens, Travis Varcoe, Joel Selwood

I/C: Steve Johnson, Darren Milburn, David Wojcinski, Tom Hawkins

Emg: Allen Christensen, Josh Cowan, Nathan Vardy

In: Josh Hunt, Cameron Mooney

Out: Cameron Ling (Hamstring), Taylor Hunt (Knee)

Nothing too exciting here – Hunt will miss around a month and Ling about half that.
Mooney returns, as does the Hunt with the much bigger legs.

North Melbourne

B: Brady Rawlings, Nathan Grima, Scott Thompson

HB: Daniel Pratt, Michael Firrito, Jamie Macmillan

C: Benjamin Speight, Brent Harvey, Samuel Wright

HF: Scott McMahon, Lachlan Hansen, Lindsay Thomas

F: Kieran Harper, Drew Petrie, Jack Ziebell

Foll: Todd Goldstein, Andrew Swallow, Daniel Wells

I/C: Leigh Adams, Liam Anthony, Ben Cunnington, Shaun Atley

Emg: Aaron Edwards, Cruize Garlett, Cameron Pedersen

No changes for the Roos, despite the injury scares to Hansen and Ziebell. Edwards and Garlett wait in the wings for a possible late withdrawal. Make sure you have cover in place if you have either of these guys.

RICHMOND V FREMANTLE

MCG – Sat May 07, 4:10pm

Richmond

B: Chris Newman, Alex Rance, Jake Batchelor

HB: Brett Deledio, Luke McGuane, Dylan Grimes

C: Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Shane Edwards

HF: Jake King, Tyrone Vickery, Shaun Grigg

F: Matthew White, Jack Riewoldt, Brad Miller

Foll: Angus Graham, Daniel Jackson, Nathan Foley

I/C: Robin Nahas, Ben Nason, Reece Conca, Bachar Houli

Emg: Jayden Post, Jeromey Webberley, Bradley Helbig

In: Daniel Jackson

Out: Shane Tuck (Soreness)

Tuck is back out and Jackson returns from his suspension. No point changing a winning thing!

Fremantle

B: Greg Broughton, Antoni Grover, Garrick Ibbotson

HB: Michael Johnson, Luke McPharlin, Paul Duffield

C: Matthew de Boer, Matthew Pavlich, Nathan Fyfe

HF: Adam McPhee, Kepler Bradley, Jay Van Berlo

F: Hayden Ballantyne, Christopher Mayne, Stephen Hill

Foll: Aaron Sandilands, Nick Lower, David Mundy

I/C: Rhys Palmer, Clancee Pearce, Dylan Roberton, Jayden Pitt

Emg: Ryan Crowley, Jesse Crichton, Jack Anthony

In: Clancee Pearce, Greg Broughton

Out: Ryan Crowley, Jesse Crichton

Pearce was elevated from the rookie list today in place of Morabito, who is set to miss the year. He has never proven to be an amazing dream teamer, so it’s nothing to get too excited about. Although, he will likely take up a defensive post, hopefully freeing up the likes of Broughton or Duffield.
Broughton IS an exciting return for many… Now let’s keep our fingers crossed for no smoke or mirrors!

GOLD COAST SUNS V BRISBANE LIONS

G – Sat May 07, 7:10pm

Gold Coast Suns

B: Matt Shaw, Nathan Bock, Karmichael Hunt

HB: Nathan Krakouer, Jack Hutchins, Jarrod Harbrow

C: Sam Iles, Michael Rischitelli, Trent McKenzie

HF: Jared Brennan, Tom Lynch, Daniel Stanley

F: Brandon Matera, Sam Day, Daniel Gorringe

Foll: Zac Smith, David Swallow, Gary Ablett

I/C: Joseph Daye, Josh Toy, Daniel Harris, Liam Patrick

Emg: Marc Lock, Luke Russell, Steven May

In: Nathan Krakouer, Joseph Daye, Sam Day, Nathan Bock, Tom Lynch, Daniel Gorringe

Out: Luke Russell, Josh Fraser (Back), Charlie Dixon (Calf), Harley Bennell, Steven May, Seb Tape (Rested)

New: Joseph Daye (), Sam Day (Sturt, SA), Tom Lynch (Dandenong Stingrays, VIC)

Whoa… a few changes here! Fraser and Dixon come out injured, with the rest presumably missing thanks to the Gold Coast rotation policy.
Krakouer gets another shot and Bock comes back from suspension.
Daye, Day and Lynch all get their chances, but none are really worth getting excited about – Day and Lynch are both tall forwards, who will likely take a while to have a significant impact (see Dixon), whilst Daye is a running half-back who averaged 13 disposals in the VFL last year. As with most Suns players, I would want to have a look at any of them before considering.
Iles plays his third game – get on now if you are keen!

Brisbane Lions

B: Cheynee Stiller, Daniel Merrett, Ashley McGrath

HB: Pearce Hanley, Matt Maguire, Jed Adcock

C: Tom Rockliff, Simon Black, Luke Power

HF: Claye Beams, Mitchell Clark, James Polkinghorne

F: Todd Banfield, Joel Patfull, Bryce Retzlaff

Foll: Matthew Leuenberger, Jack Redden, Andrew Raines

I/C: Josh Drummond, Tom Collier, Daniel Rich, Jesse O’Brien

Emg: Matt Austin, Amon Buchanan, Joshua Green

In: Josh Drummond, Bryce Retzlaff

Out: Broc McCauley, Jared Polec

New: Bryce Retzlaff (Labrador (QLD))

Drummond makes his long-awaited return from his ACL injury – Adcock owners, it’s time to hold your breath!!! Hopefully by now everyone knows the story with Drummond – as good as he looks, you just can’t trust his body!
Polec and McCauley are two pretty disappointing exclusions and Bewick is another who misses out.
Retzlaff does get his debut though and he is another key-position player (suggesting Leuenberger will likely spend more time in the ruck), so again, keep any expectations low. Has made the emergency list a few times already, so good to see him given his chance.

ESSENDON V WEST COAST EAGLES

ES – Sun May 08, 1:10pm

Essendon

B: Dustin Fletcher, Cale Hooker, Mark McVeigh

HB: David Zaharakis, Michael Hurley, Kyle Hardingham

C: Ben Howlett, Jobe Watson, Leroy Jetta

HF: David Hille, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Henry Slattery

F: Patrick Ryder, Stewart Crameri, Dyson Heppell

Foll: Tom Bellchambers, Heath Hocking, Jake Melksham

I/C: Sam Lonergan, Angus Monfries, Brent Stanton, Alwyn Davey, Kyle Reimers, David Myers, Michael Hibberd

In: Dustin Fletcher, Alwyn Davey, David Myers

And onto the Sunday extended benches… Fletcher is a definite in according to Hirdy, whilst Myers has really pressed his case in the VFL – Hibberd owners beware!!
Of that extended bench, you’d think Lonergan, Davey and one of Hibberd/Myers would miss.

West Coast Eagles

B: Sam Butler, Darren Glass, Shannon Hurn

HB: Andrew Embley, Eric Mackenzie, Scott Selwood

C: Bradley Ebert, Matthew Priddis, Matthew Rosa

HF: Luke Shuey, Josh Kennedy, Mark Nicoski

F: Mark LeCras, Quinten Lynch, Jack Darling

Foll: Dean Cox, Daniel Kerr, Adam Selwood

I/C: Will Schofield, Nic Naitanui, Thomas Swift, Ashley Smith, Patrick McGinnity, Gerrick Weedon, Ashton Hams

In: Will Schofield, Thomas Swift, Gerrick Weedon, Ashton Hams

Out: Andrew Gaff

New: Gerrick Weedon (Clontarf College)

Gaff comes out of the side so he can get some full game time into his legs, according to Woosha. You wouldn’t expect too many other changes to the side though.
There has been talk of Schofield coming in to help with the tall Bombers side, meaning Swift, Hams and Weedon would be the likely emergencies. Hopefully Smith can get another run after I talked him up last week…

MELBOURNE V ADELAIDE

MCG – Sun May 08, 2:10pm

Melbourne

B: James Frawley, Matthew Warnock, Clint Bartram

HB: Nathan Jones, Colin Garland, Luke Tapscott

C: Ricky Petterd, Jack Grimes, Colin Sylvia

HF: Jack Watts, Liam Jurrah, Addam Maric

F: Brad Green, Matthew Bate, Aaron Davey

Foll: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jack Trengove

I/C: Lynden Dunn, Michael Newton, Austin Wonaeamirri, Neville Jetta, Rohan Bail, Jordan Gysberts, Joel Macdonald

In: Matthew Bate, Michael Newton, Matthew Warnock, Ricky Petterd, Addam Maric, Neville Jetta, Joel Macdonald

Out: Jared Rivers (Ankle), Cale Morton, Stefan Martin, Jamie Bennell

Geez, these Sunday benches do my head in! Anyone else??? The Dees have at least four changes to the side – only one of them forced!
Of the list of ins, Bate, Warnock, Petterd and Maric have all been named on the field, suggesting that if there are no other changes, Macdonald, Newton and Jetta will make up the emergencies.

Adelaide

B: Michael Doughty, Ben Rutten, Graham Johncock

HB: Nathan van Berlo, Luke Thompson, Matthew Jaensch

C: Ricky Henderson, Brent Reilly, Brodie Smith

HF: Richard Douglas, Shaun McKernan, Chris Knights

F: Matthew Wright, Kurt Tippett, Taylor Walker

Foll: Sam Jacobs, Scott Thompson, Patrick Dangerfield

I/C: Ivan Maric, James Sellar, Brad Symes, Jared Petrenko, Rory Sloane, Christopher Schmidt, Jack Gunston

In: Ivan Maric, James Sellar, Jared Petrenko, Rory Sloane, Christopher Schmidt, Jack Gunston

Out: Brodie Martin, Phil Davis (Shoulder), Richard Tambling (Suspension)

Three outs for the Crows – Davis is out indefinitely with his shoulder injury, whilst Tambling will miss one game with suspension. Martin is dropped after a rather average start to the year.
Of the names added to the list, Sloane will definitely play, with Sellar/Schmidt (defence) and Petrenko the likely inclusions.

ST KILDA V CARLTON

ES – Mon May 09, 7:20pm

St Kilda

B: Sean Dempster, Jason Blake, Steven Baker

HB: Jason Gram, Sam Fisher, James Gwilt

C: Brendon Goddard, Leigh Montagna, Sam Gilbert

HF: Andrew McQualter, Nick Riewoldt, Adam Schneider

F: Stephen Milne, Justin Koschitzke, Arryn Siposs

Foll: Ben McEvoy, Nick Dal Santo, Clinton Jones

I/C: Raphael Clarke, David Armitage, Jack Steven, Brett Peake, Nicholas Winmar, Jamie Cripps, Ryan Gamble

In: Raphael Clarke, Justin Koschitzke, Brett Peake, Nicholas Winmar, Arryn Siposs, Ryan Gamble

Out: Alistair Smith, Zac Dawson (Suspension), Will Johnson (Concussion)

New: Nicholas Winmar (Scarborough), Arryn Siposs (Dandenong Stingrays)

The Saints are (finally) another team to swing the axe, although they have swung it on two kids and Dawson, who is out suspended.
In comes Siposs, named on the field for his debut game – he was the Saints fourth pick in the draft last year and is another medium sized forward option. He has been consistent so far this year at Sandringham kicking a couple of goals a game and has impressed with his ability to harass and tackle in the forward line. Winmar is named on the extended bench, but I don’t think he will make it though.
Clarke will likely play, after getting BOG for Sandy on the weekend (the Saints will also need all the speed they can get in defence against the Blues), with Kosi also named on the field.
Final emergencies will likely be Winmar, Peake and Gamble.

Carlton

B: Jordan Russell, Michael Jamison, Christopher Yarran

HB: Nick Duigan, Simon White, Bryce Gibbs

C: Heath Scotland, Chris Judd, Kade Simpson

HF: Andrew Walker, Jarrad Waite, Andrew Carrazzo

F: Eddie Betts, Setanta O’hAilpin, Jeffrey Garlett

Foll: Robert Warnock, Edward Curnow, Marc Murphy

I/C: Dennis Armfield, David Ellard, Aaron Joseph, Mitch Robinson, Lachlan Henderson, Jeremy Laidler, Matthew Watson

In: Christopher Yarran, Lachlan Henderson, Matthew Watson

Three good ins for the Blues, although I can’t see Watson or Henderson actually making it into the final team.
Ratten declared Yarran will play… All I can say is, He damn well better!!
Joseph or Armfield will likely be the ones to make way for Yaz.

Emg: Will Schofield, Thomas Swift, Gerrick Weedon

In: Mark LeCras, Ashley Smith, Patrick McGinnity

Out: Mitch Brown (Hand), Will Schofield, Bradd Dalziell

LeCras is the miraculous return here after apparently suffering a 6-10 week injury only a fortnight ago.
No one too serious make way

Melbourne

B: James Frawley, Jared Rivers, Clint Bartram

HB: Jack Grimes, Colin Garland, Luke Tapscott

C: Brad Green, Nathan Jones, Rohan Bail

HF: Jordan Gysberts, Colin Sylvia, Aaron Davey

Foll: Mark Jamar, Brent Moloney, Jack Trengove

I/C: Lynden Dunn, Cale Morton, Stefan Martin, Jamie Bennell

No changes, but how the hell is Petterd not in Melbourne’s best-22????

SYDNEY SWANS V CARLTON

Sydney Swans

B: Paul Bevan, Ted Richards, Rhyce Shaw

HB: Tadhg Kennelly, Heath Grundy, Nicholas Smith

C: Craig Bird, Kieren Jack, Martin Mattner

I/C: Jarred Moore, Jesse White, Lewis Jetta, Andrejs Everitt

Emg: Lewis Johnston, Mike Pyke, Luke Parker

In: Tadhg Kennelly, Jarred Moore

Out: Gary Rohan (Knee), Alex Johnson (Hamstring)

Kennelly comes in for his first game of the year after spending 3 weeks in the reserves.
Johnson and Rohan make way… meh

Carlton

B: Christopher Yarran, Michael Jamison, Simon White

HB: Nick Duigan, Jeremy Laidler, Jordan Russell

C: Heath Scotland, Chris Judd, Kade Simpson

HF: Mitch Robinson, Jarrad Waite, Andrew Walker

F: Andrew Carrazzo, Shaun Hampson, Jeffrey Garlett

Foll: Robert Warnock, Bryce Gibbs, Marc Murphy

I/C: Eddie Betts, David Ellard, Aaron Joseph, Edward Curnow

Emg: Setanta O’hAilpin, Dennis Armfield, Zach Tuohy

No changes here, but it means that Yarran keeps his spot!

NORTH MELBOURNE V PORT ADELAIDE

North Melbourne

B: Brady Rawlings, Nathan Grima, Scott Thompson

HB: Daniel Pratt, Michael Firrito, Daniel Wells

C: Shaun Atley, Brent Harvey, Samuel Wright

HF: Scott McMahon, Lachlan Hansen, Lindsay Thomas

F: Leigh Adams, Drew Petrie, Jack Ziebell

Foll: Todd Goldstein, Andrew Swallow, Liam Anthony

I/C: Benjamin Speight, Ben Cunnington, Jamie Macmillan, Kieran Harper

Emg: Aaron Edwards, Cruize Garlett, Cameron Pedersen

In: Benjamin Speight, Jamie Macmillan, Kieran Harper

Out: Robert Tarrant, Cruize Garlett, Cameron Richardson

New: Kieran Harper (Eastern Ranges)

Harper, an enigmatic half-forward comes in for his debut. He is quite fast with good skills – not a huge ball-winner though.
Richardson is OUT – big news. Tarrant also makes way. Neither are emergencies, so will play VFL.
Ziebell keeps his spot, despite all the talk of him being dropped.

Port Adelaide

B: Tom Logan, Alipate Carlile, Jackson Trengove

HB: Michael Pettigrew, Troy Chaplin, Jasper Pittard

C: Travis Boak, Matt Thomas, Cameron O’Shea

HF: Matthew Broadbent, Chad Cornes, Robert Gray

F: Brett Ebert, Justin Westhoff, Daniel Motlop

Foll: Dean Brogan, Hamish Hartlett, David Rodan

I/C: Kane Cornes, Paul Stewart, Daniel Stewart, Cameron Hitchcock

Emg: Jacob Surjan, Mitchell Banner, Jason Davenport

In: Dean Brogan, Kane Cornes, Paul Stewart

Out: Steven Salopek, Jacob Surjan, Jason Davenport

Three pretty surprising exclusions after the massive loss last week – Salopek the biggest name of the three.
Kane Cornes is back and so is Brogan, although he is still under an injury cloud.

RICHMOND V BRISBANE LIONS

Richmond

B: Chris Newman, Alex Rance, Jake Batchelor

HB: Brett Deledio, Luke McGuane, Dylan Grimes

C: Trent Cotchin, Dustin Martin, Shane Edwards

HF: Jake King, Tyrone Vickery, Shaun Grigg

F: Matthew White, Jack Riewoldt, Brad Miller

Foll: Angus Graham, Shane Tuck, Nathan Foley

I/C: Robin Nahas, Ben Nason, Reece Conca, Bachar Houli

Emg: Jayden Post, Jeromey Webberley, Bradley Helbig

In: Jake Batchelor

Out: Daniel Jackson (Suspension)

Jackson is gone for a week with suspension, allowing Batchelor to play his third game.

Brisbane Lions

B: Tom Collier, Daniel Merrett, Jed Adcock

HB: Pearce Hanley, Joel Patfull, Ashley McGrath

C: Tom Rockliff, Simon Black, Jack Redden

HF: Luke Power, Mitchell Clark, Jesse O’Brien

F: James Polkinghorne, Matthew Leuenberger, Todd Banfield

Foll: Broc McCauley, Andrew Raines, Daniel Rich

I/C: Cheynee Stiller, Matt Maguire, Claye Beams, Jared Polec

Emg: Matt Austin, Amon Buchanan, Bryce Retzlaff

In: Matt Maguire, Claye Beams

Out: Aaron Cornelius, Rohan Bewick (Hip)

Bewick is out and will likely just miss the one week.
Maguire and Beams return, but no sign of Drummond, who will likely have another week in the QAFL.

ADELAIDE V ST KILDA

Adelaide

B: Graham Johncock, Ben Rutten, Phil Davis

HB: Richard Tambling, Luke Thompson, Michael Doughty

C: Brodie Smith, Richard Douglas, Brad Symes

HF: Chris Knights, Taylor Walker, Nathan van Berlo

F: Ricky Henderson, Kurt Tippett, Matthew Jaensch

Foll: Sam Jacobs, Scott Thompson, Brent Reilly

I/C: Patrick Dangerfield, Brodie Martin, Shaun McKernan, Matthew Wright

Emg: Ivan Maric, Christopher Schmidt, Jack Gunston

In: Phil Davis, Matthew Wright

Out: Bernie Vince, Andy Otten

Vince and Otten are both HUGE exclusions! Both appear to have been dropped and neither are named as emergencies.
Davis will return to play on Riewoldt.

St Kilda

B: Sean Dempster, Zac Dawson, Steven Baker

HB: Jason Gram, Sam Fisher, James Gwilt

C: Brendon Goddard, David Armitage, Sam Gilbert

HF: Leigh Montagna, Jason Blake, Adam Schneider

F: Stephen Milne, Nick Riewoldt, Jack Steven

Foll: Ben McEvoy, Nick Dal Santo, Clinton Jones

I/C: Andrew McQualter, Farren Ray, Alistair Smith, Will Johnson

Emg: Nicholas Winmar, Jamie Cripps, Arryn Siposs

In: Jason Blake, Will Johnson

Out: Justin Koschitzke (Ankle), Rhys Stanley

New: Will Johnson (Sandringham Dragons)

Kosi is out with an ankle injury (although Lyon said mid-week that it was fine). Stanley is also rightly out after no effect last week.
Will Johnson will debut at full-forward. He is a lively mid-sized forward, similar to Crameri, and has the capabilities of scoring relatively well for a KPP.

ESSENDON V GOLD COAST SUNS

Essendon

B: Henry Slattery, Dustin Fletcher, Cale Hooker

HB: Kyle Reimers, Kyle Hardingham, Mark McVeigh

C: Michael Hibberd, Jobe Watson, Angus Monfries

HF: David Hille, Patrick Ryder, Ben Howlett

F: Stewart Crameri, Michael Hurley, Leroy Jetta

Foll: Tom Bellchambers, Heath Hocking, Brent Stanton

I/C: Sam Lonergan, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Andrew Welsh, Alwyn Davey, David Zaharakis, Jake Melksham, Dyson Heppell

In: Andrew Welsh, Alwyn Davey, Michael Hibberd

New: Michael Hibberd (Frankston)

Hibberd will come in for his debut and has been named on the field, so will definitely play. He is a small defender with good ball-winning skills.
Heppell is named, although he is on the extended bench, which is a tad scary…

Gold Coast Suns

B: Seb Tape, Jack Hutchins, Karmichael Hunt

HB: Jarrod Harbrow, Steven May, Josh Toy

C: Sam Iles, Jared Brennan, Trent McKenzie

HF: Harley Bennell, Charlie Dixon, David Swallow

F: Luke Russell, Josh Fraser, Brandon Matera

Foll: Zac Smith, Michael Rischitelli, Gary Ablett

I/C: Maverick Weller, Hayden Jolly, Daniel Harris, Daniel Stanley, Matt Shaw, Liam Patrick, Daniel Gorringe

In: Hayden Jolly, Matt Shaw, Liam Patrick, Steven May

Out: Nathan Bock (Suspension)

New: Hayden Jolly (Glenelg, SA), Liam Patrick (), Steven May (Southern Districts)

Bock is out for a week with suspension, with May taking his spot in the backline
Jolly and Patrick are both named on the extended bench. You wouldnt think there would be too many changes this week though.
No Prestia named either, which is another blow to many teams!

COLLINGWOOD V WESTERN BULLDOGS

Collingwood

B: Chris Tarrant, Nick Maxwell, Heritier O’Brien

HB: Ben Johnson, Ben Reid, Heath Shaw

C: Dale Thomas, Dane Swan, Luke Ball

HF: Alan Didak, Travis Cloke, Leigh Brown

F: Leon Davis, Chris Dawes, Steele Sidebottom

Foll: Cameron Wood, Scott Pendlebury, Jarryd Blair

I/C: Alan Toovey, Brad Dick, Sharrod Wellingham, John McCarthy, Dayne Beams, Simon Buckley, Andrew Krakouer

In: Cameron Wood, John McCarthy, Simon Buckley, Andrew Krakouer

Out: Darren Jolly (Knee)

Darren Jolly is the big exclusion – Wood will come in for him.
You would think this will be the only change, with Krakouer likely just making it to the emergencies again.

Western Bulldogs

B: Lukas Markovic, Brian Lake, Lindsay Gilbee

HB: Dale Morris, Tom L. Williams, Robert Murphy

C: Daniel Cross, Matthew Boyd, Liam Picken

HF: Callan Ward, Jarrad Grant, Dylan Addison

F: Josh Hill, Liam Jones, Justin Sherman

Foll: William Minson, Ryan Griffen, Adam Cooney

I/C: Brennan Stack, Jordan Roughead, Brodie Moles, Nathan Djerrkura, Mitchell Wallis, Thomas Liberatore, Jayden Schofield

In: Dylan Addison, William Minson, Liam Jones, Brodie Moles, Nathan Djerrkura, Jayden Schofield

Out: Shaun Higgins (Soreness), Ben Hudson (Soreness), Barry Hall (Ankle)

New: Jayden Schofield (East Fremantle)

Three huge outs for the Dogs – Higgins, Hudson and Hall!!
Minson will play in the ruck, whilst Moles and Djerrkura are two other likely inclusions.
Wallis will definitely hold his spot, whilst Libba has been named on the extended bench.
