Injury-hit Collingwood have made five changes to their team for Friday night’s clash with Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium.
Jeremy Howe, Oleg Markov, Jack Bytel, Ash Johnson and Finlay Macrae were all named in the side on Thursday night with Scott Pendlebury (arm), Brody Mihocek (hamstring), Mason Cox (concussion/leg), Joe Richards (foot) and Edward Allan (omitted) going out of the side.
The Bulldogs named big man Rory Lobb, Lachlan McNeil and James O’Donnell as inclusions with Anthony Scott, Aaron Naughton and Ed Richards all out injured.
St Kilda regained Tim Membrey, Hunter Clark and Dan Butler for its visit to Perth to face West Coast on Saturday with Liam Stocker injured and Cooper Sharman and Lance Collard omitted.
The Eagles made four changes with former GWS ruckman Matt Flynn making his club debut while Harry Edwards, Jack Petruccelle and Andrew Gaff also came in.
Josh Rotham (illness), Jayden Hunt (injured), Tyrell Dewart and Jack Williams (both omitted) went out.
Nate Caddy is out due to illness for Essendon’s clash with Gold Coast on Sunday but Harrison Jones, Nick Bryan, Archie Roberts and Jye Menzie join the extended team.
Hawthorn made one change with ruckman Ned Reeves replacing the injured Lloyd Meek for the clash with Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday. The Crows are unchanged.
Geelong named Gary Rohan and Mark O’Connor to replace suspended pair Mark Blicavs and Jhye Clark for their home game against Richmond at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night.
Rhyan Mansell, Jack Graham and debutante defender Kaleb Smith come in for the Tigers, while Shai Bolton (injured), Dion Prestia (managed) and Steely Green (omitted).
Richmond coach Adem Yze surprised young Tiger and unofficial team barista Smith with news of his debut on Thursday.
Yze asked the 19-year-old defender to make him a coffee and the coach attempted to write “I’m in” in the milk froth.
“What does ‘I-N’ spell?” Yze asked with a big smile while the Tigers media staff filmed the pair.
Smith took a moment before realising what he was being told, then gave his coach a hug and said a warm thank-you.
Michael Frederick leads the returns for Fremantle for their clash with Melbourne on Sunday following his concerning concussion against St Kilda weeks earlier, with Neil Erasmus and Sam Sturt joining the extended bench.
Forward Jacob van Rooyen is out injured for the Demons with Jack Billings, Bailey Laurie, Ben Brown and Daniel Turner on the extended bench.
