They look likely to welcome back \ufeffoff-season recruit James Worpel from a finger infection that kept him out of the clash, which would create a squeeze that could leave the likes of recent debutant Mitch Edwards and Jhye Clark on the fringes. In the reserves\u2019 Round 1 VFL clash, emergency Ollie Henry kicked 5.2 to push for a recall after his axing. He was well-assisted up forward by Jay Polkinghorne (4.6) and Oli Wilthsire (4.1), while George Stevens and Mitch Knevitt were unsurprisingly among the best midfielders with stuffed stat lines to show for it. With the exception of Tyson Stengle (personal reasons\/conditioning), the club\u2019s best 30 or so players are all fit and firing in ominous signs for Adelaide this Thursday night. <\/p>\n<p>Crows\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: W.Milera, J.Butts, M.Michalanney, <\/p>\n<p>HB: N.Murray, J.Worrell, R.Laird<\/p>\n<p>C: B.Cook, J.Dawson (c), I.Cumming<\/p>\n<p>HF: I.Rankine, R.Thilthorpe, J.Rachele<\/p>\n<p>F: A.Neal-Bullen, T.Walker, D.Fogarty<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: L.McAndrew, S.Berry, B.Keays<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: J.Peatling, C.Ah Chee, L.Pedlar, J.Soligo, C.Jones<\/p>\n<p>EMG: R.O\u2019Brien, J.Borlase<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: In a frustrating blow for the club and their star off-season recruit, Callum Ah Chee will spend an extended stint on the sidelines. The two-time premiership Lion left the field in the last quarter with what is a high-grade hamstring strain, which will see him miss six-to-eight weeks of football. Foxfooty.com.au understands Luke Nankervis is firming as Ah Chee\u2019s replacement on a wing, having spent most of pre-season training higher up the ground. Meanwhile, Rory Laird and Josh Worrell, who both played out last Friday night\u2019s loss, sustained calf issues. It appears that Laird\u2019s calf worry is the more serious of the two, with the veteran set for one-to-two weeks out, while Worrell has been listed as a \u2018test\u2019 by Adelaide. The Crows revealed on Monday that Finnbar Maley would make his club debut after crossing over in the offseason. Maley, who kicked three goals in the SANFL side\u2019s trial game at the weekend, is set to provide ruck support to Lachie McAndrew and roll forward. Pre-game last Friday, Hugh Bond was a late withdrawal due to illness and would seem likely at this stage to retain his place in the side. His replacement, Chayce Jones, was solid despite the 11th-hour call-up. In theory, Jones could replace Ah Chee\u2019s role in the side, which would then allow the club to manage Jake Soligo as they had initially planned last week. That plan became void once they opted to manage one-game ruck Toby Murray with a back injury. The 200cm ruck-forward seemingly won\u2019t return this Thursday night, given Maley seems destined to play the second ruck role against Geelong. Should the Crows need an extra defensive reinforcement in the absence of Worrell, James Borlase would be well-placed to earn a call-up for his first AFL game of 2026. Uncapped third-year midfielder Charlie Edwards and exiled ruck Reilly O\u2019Brien were among the SANFL side\u2019s best in their trial game against South Adelaide. <\/p>\n<p>COLLINGWOOD v GWS GIANTS<\/p>\n<p>Friday March 27, 7.40pm at Marvel Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Magpies\u2019 Round 1 team<\/p>\n<p>B: B.Frampton, I.Quaynor, B.Maynard (c)<\/p>\n<p>HB: D.Houston, J.Daicos, J.Crisp<\/p>\n<p>C: E.Allan, N.Daicos, P.Lipinski<\/p>\n<p>HF: L.Schultz, J.De Goey, B.McCreery<\/p>\n<p>F: T.Membrey, J.Elliott, D.McStay<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: D.Cameron, S.Pendlebury, H.Perryman<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: W.Parker, S.Sidebottom, N.Long, J.Buller, R.Steele<\/p>\n<p>EMG: O.Steene, C.West, L.Sullivan<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: Coming off the early bye, the Magpies should be able to welcome back skipper Darcy Moore and fellow important defender Jeremy Howe for a big clash with the Giants, pending any further setbacks. Oscar Steene and Charlie West could be options for the Pies to consider as they seek forward-half answers amid recruit Jack Buller\u2019s early struggles, while Dan McStay also went goalless against the Crows a fortnight ago. Meanwhile, Lachie Sullivan is waiting in the wings if Craig McRae wants a different look in the midfield, with Ed Allan managing two effective kicks in 65 per cent game time against Adelaide in Round 1. Reef McInnes is nearing a return from his knee injury, while Bobby Hill promisingly returned to Pies training on Monday. Collingwood\u2019s VFL side had the bye to start the season. <\/p>\n<p>Giants\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: J.Laverde, J.Buckley, C.Idun<\/p>\n<p>HB: L.Whitfield, H.Himmelberg, L.Ash<\/p>\n<p>C: R.Angwin, C.Oliver, H.Thomas<\/p>\n<p>HF: C.Brown, P.Gothard, X.O\u2019Halloran<\/p>\n<p>F: J.Stringer, J.Hogan, J.Riccardi<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: K.Briggs, T.Greene (c), F.Callaghan<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: J.Fonti, H.Rowston, M.Gruzewski, S.Coniglio, J.Delana<\/p>\n<p>EMG: C.Stone, J.Leake, O.Hannaford<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: A couple of GWS youngsters continue to press their case for a shot at the big time, led by Ollie Hannaford, who had a big-time impact in the VFL side\u2019s big win at the weekend. The dynamic forward-half player, who was an AFL emergency last Saturday, kicked 3.2 from 33 disposals and six marks. Meanwhile, Jack Ough was similarly impressive, kicking two goals from 36 possessions and six clearances. And there should be room this week for changes at selection after the Giants were sluggish early in a four-point loss to St Kilda. There\u2019ll be at least one forced change, with Jack Buckley in concussion protocols after an incident late in Saturday\u2019s loss \u2014 with Leek Aleer shaping as the replacement. Meanwhile, a host of names are nearing a return, with Adam Kingsley telling AFL 360 on Monday night that Toby Bedford (hamstring) was likeliest to return this week, while Aaron Cadman (pelvis) and Brent Daniels (hamstring) are \u201cevery chance\u201d. He said on Fox Footy: \u201cWe\u2019ll assess those as we get later in the week, probably Wednesday night or Thursday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ST KILDA v BRISBANE LIONS<\/p>\n<p>Saturday March 28, 12.35pm at Marvel Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Saints\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: J.Silvagni, C.Wilkie, A.Caminiti<\/p>\n<p>HB: J.Carroll, B.Hill, N.Wanganeen-Milera<\/p>\n<p>C: M.Windhager, M.Hall, D.Wilson<\/p>\n<p>HF: H.Garcia, M.Wood, M.Owens<\/p>\n<p>F: J.Higgins, C.Sharman, R.Marshall<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: T.De Koning, S.Flanders, J.Sinclair (c)<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: L.Stocker, M.Phillipou, A.Tauru, L.Ryan, H.Boxshall<\/p>\n<p>EMG: L.Collard, D.Howard, A.Hastie<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: The Saints are on the board for 2026! Their four-point win over GWS last Saturday evening did come at a slight cost, though, with Anthony Caminiti ruled out in the first half of the opening term due to a hamstring complaint. In-game, young guns Alix Tauru (44% game time) and Mattaes Phillipou (57%) were carefully managed in greasy western Sydney conditions, and would ideally play bigger roles this weekend against the reigning premiers. Defender Hunter Clark will be pushing to make himself available from an adductor injury, though he may be welcomed back through the VFL. The reserves fielded their first stand-alone outfit in the state league since 2000 on Saturday afternoon, and it was first-year draftee Kye Fincher who caught the eye the most with 23 touches and a goal. Young defender Tobie Travaglia was compact in defence during the 44-point loss to the Giants, while unfortunately, Pick No.41 from last year\u2019s draft, Charlie Banfield, was ruled out before quarter time with a shoulder injury. <\/p>\n<p>Lions\u2019 Round 1 team<\/p>\n<p>B: K.Coleman, Z.Zakostelsky, R.Lester<\/p>\n<p>HB: D.Wilmot, J.Fletcher, D.Zorko<\/p>\n<p>C: B.Reville, W.Ashcroft, J.Berry<\/p>\n<p>HF: C.Cameron, O.Allen, L.Ashcroft<\/p>\n<p>F: S.Draper, C.Rayner, T.Gallop<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: D.Fort, J.Dunkley (c), L.Neale<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: K.Lohmann, L.McCarthy, D.Annable, J.Tunstill, N.Answerth<\/p>\n<p>EMG: S.Marshall, R.Torrent, D.Joyce<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: After starting their season 0-2, Brisbane\u2019s early bye couldn\u2019t have come at a much better time last week. Thankfully, they\u2019ll welcome back Zac Bailey and Darcy Gardiner from one-week suspensions as two of several potential inclusions. The club is confident both Hugh McCluggage (calf) and Logan Morris (hand) will have overcome their respective niggles before Saturday afternoon to further bolster the reigning premiers. It leaves coach Chris Fagan needing to drop several players, and it may be a case of \u2018last in, first out\u2019 for most. Debutant Daniel Annable may be one of those to exit the best 23 despite a decent debut in just 60% game time, while Zane Zakostelsky and James Tunstill could be unlucky omissions. Eight-gamer Ty Gallop was very quiet in their Round 1 loss to Sydney, with he or Lincoln McCarthy the likely player to be squeezed out to make room for Morris in their forward line.<\/p>\n<p>FREMANTLE v RICHMOND<\/p>\n<p>Saturday March 28, 4.15pm at Optus Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Dockers\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: O.McDonald, A.Pearce (c), H.Chapman<\/p>\n<p>HB: J.Clark, L.Ryan, J.McVee<\/p>\n<p>C: N.Erasmus, A.Brayshaw, M.Johnson<\/p>\n<p>HF: J.Amiss, P.Voss, S.Switkowski<\/p>\n<p>F: S.Bolton, J.Treacy, M.Reid<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: S.Darcy, L.Jackson, C.Serong<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: C.Scerri, I.Dudley, N.O\u2019Driscoll, K.Worner, C.Wagner<\/p>\n<p>EMG: M.Cox, J.Sharp<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: There are only good selection problems to come out of Cockburn this week ahead of a Saturday afternoon date with Richmond, but their biggest headache may revolve around the deployment of Sean Darcy. While Fremantle\u2019s second ruck has been heavily managed in the club\u2019s first two games this season, his impact around the ground has been far from his best when he has played. It would be a shock to see Justin Longmuir drop the 27-year-old, but with SSP signing Mason Cox waiting in the wings and in great form, it\u2019s now a genuine possibility. According to The West Australian, Cox compiled 17 disposals, 38 hit-outs, four marks and a goal in Peel Thunder\u2019s loss to Claremont in a WAFL pre-season fixture. Elsewhere, Brandon Walker (general soreness) was a late out for Dockers last weekend and replaced by two-time All-Australian Luke Ryan, who looked to make the most of his last-minute opportunity. That being said, it may be hard for Ryan to keep his spot with Brennan Cox (calf) expected to be listed as a test this weekend. 118-gamer Bailey Banfield also impressed off half-back in Peel\u2019s practice match, and will continue to be a consideration in future weeks. <\/p>\n<p>Tigers\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: N.Balta, B.Miller, N.Broad<\/p>\n<p>HB: S.Banks, J.Short, N.Vlastuin<\/p>\n<p>C: H.Ralphsmith, J.Ross, J.Trezise<\/p>\n<p>HF: S.Campbell, D.Prestia, M.Rioli<\/p>\n<p>F: S.Lalor, T.Lynch, H.Armstrong<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: T.Nankervis (c), T.Taranto, J.Hopper<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: M.Lefau, S.Green, T.Brown, S.Grlj, T.Sonsie<\/p>\n<p>EMG: C.Gray, Z.Peucker, P.Retschko<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: Aside from the 68-point loss, the two big losses for the Tigers are that of Toby Nankervis and Tom Lynch, who will miss a considerable period of footy after hamstring injuries last Saturday. Skipper Nankervis\u2019 is the worse of the two, set to miss six-to-eight weeks, while Lynch is expected to miss four-to-five weeks. An interesting watch will be on whether Richmond brings Samson Ryan \u2014 who\u2019s only just back available after a foot injury \u2014 straight back in, or if it\u2019s time to reward ex-basketballer Ollie Hayes-Brown with a debut. Campbell Gray played as a secondary ruck against Carlton before getting dropped, so don\u2019t expect him to come in as the first-choice tapster. Veteran defender Nathan Broad will also miss a week with a \u201csmall calf strain\u201d. Meanwhile, in terms of inclusions, Jonty Faull is eligible to return from suspension and will do so in place of Lynch, while Kane McAuliffe missed against the Suns due to illness, but late inclusion Tyler Sonsie was one of Richmond\u2019s better players. <\/p>\n<p>ESSENDON v NORTH MELBOURNE<\/p>\n<p>Saturday March 28, 7.35pm at Marvel Stadium<\/p>\n<p>Bombers\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: J.Prior, B.McKay, Z.Reid<\/p>\n<p>HB: A.Roberts, M.Redman, A.McGrath (c)<\/p>\n<p>C: X.Duursma, J.Caldwell, B.Fiorini<\/p>\n<p>HF: S.Durham, N.Caddy, A.Perkins<\/p>\n<p>F: I.Kako, P.Wright, K.Langford<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: L.Blakiston, D.Parish, Z.Merrett<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: D.Sharp, M.Kondogiannis, H.El Achkar, Z.Johnson, J.Nguyen<\/p>\n<p>EMG: J.Gresham, A.May, S.El-Hawli<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: In perhaps the understatement of the week, changes are coming at selection for Essendon. It\u2019s just a matter of how many Brad Scott elects to make, and whether he makes one or two \u2018statement\u2019 axings. But while there were some good performers at reserves level, the VFL Bombers also got whacked by 85 points in a worrying sign of the club\u2019s depth quality. Jacob Farrow could hold his head high after 31 disposals and a goal, and he could get a look-in for a debut with Mason Redman out for an extended period as he prepares to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus. However, given that Saad El-Hawli was an emergency last Sunday, he might be closer than Farrow to a call-up. Elijah Tsatas, a player of massive intrigue among Dons fans, had 23 disposals and eight clearances in the VFL, while in the forward half, Jade Gresham has been overlooked to start the year and might be a dynamic alternative for Scott to ponder over. Essendon\u2019s supporters will be pining for Sully Robey to get his first crack at AFL level sooner rather than later, though you\u2019d think he\u2019ll need a considerable ramp-up period after back stress hampered his start to AFL life. Jordan Ridley continues to inch closer to a return from his calf injury, while Tom Edwards is almost back healthy from his knee injury. From the bad Port Adelaide loss, aside from Redman\u2019s injury, Dyson Sharp left sore with an ankle injury and could be in some doubt this week. <\/p>\n<p>Kangaroos\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: T.Pink, G.Logue, C.Comben<\/p>\n<p>HB: F.O\u2019Sullivan, C.Daniel, T.Blamires<\/p>\n<p>C: J.Simpkin, T.Powell, D.Stephens<\/p>\n<p>HF: P.Curtis, C.Trembath, J.Konstanty<\/p>\n<p>F: C.Zurhaar, N.Larkey (c), L.Dovaston<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: T.Xerri, L.Davies-Uniacke, H.Sheezel<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: Z.Duursma, C.McKercher, L.McDonald, L.Parker, J.Darling<\/p>\n<p>EMG: C.Coleman-Jones, Z.Banch, R.Hansen Jr<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: After proceeding with caution last week, Alastair Clarkson will again have a decision to make over playing George Wardlaw. Following recovery from a hamstring injury, Wardlaw rested last week as the VFL side started its season with a bye, with Clarkson now to decide whether he wants to give his hard-edge midfielder a run in the reserves before recalling him to the seniors. Elsewhere, key defender Griffin Logue came away from the Eagles loss with a thigh issue and will be monitored throughout the week. Small forward Charlie Spargo could finally make his club debut against the Bombers, with Jacob Konstanty among the quieter Roos names last Sunday. Zane Duursma was also rarely sighted with three effective kicks in 64 per cent game time. Young midfielder Luke Urquhart will come into calculations, likely at VFL level, after recovering from a knee issue. <\/p>\n<p>PORT ADELAIDE v WEST COAST EAGLES<\/p>\n<p>Sunday March 29, 12.3opm at Adelaide Oval<\/p>\n<p>Power\u2019s Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: J.Burgoyne, E.Ratugolea, T.Marshall<\/p>\n<p>HB: M.Bergman, A.Aliir, K.Farrell<\/p>\n<p>C: L.Evans, C.Rozee (c), J.Wehr<\/p>\n<p>HF: J.Horne-Francis, M.Georgiades, J.Berry<\/p>\n<p>F: D.Byrne-Jones, J.Whitlock, J.Richards<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: J.Sweet, Z.Butters, W.Drew<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: C.Durdin, E.Mackinlay, J.Watkins, J.Mead, J.Lukosius<\/p>\n<p>EMG: D.Visentini, J.Lai, W.Brodie<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: In highly disappointing news for the Power, Connor Rozee will miss an extended period with a high-grade hamstring tendon damage after pulling up lame against Essendon on Sunday. Port Adelaide says a specific timeline will become clearer \u201cfollowing surgical consultation\u201d, adding on Monday: \u201cHe also experienced significant numbness in his leg following the incident, caused by the forceful traction of the nerve.\u201d Rozee\u2019s absence is likely to be months-long. Meanwhile, Miles Bergman won\u2019t play in Josh Carr\u2019s side this Sunday after sustaining an ankle injury against West Coast. \u201cScans show the 24-year-old has a sprain to the medial ankle, along with bruising of the heel,\u201d Port Adelaide said, adding that he\u2019ll be assessed further next week. Positively, though, Ollie Wines is available for selection this week, following his suspension. <\/p>\n<p>Eagles\u2019 Round 2 team<\/p>\n<p>B: R.Ginbey, T.Young, B.Hough<\/p>\n<p>HB: L.Duggan, H.Edwards, L.Baker (c)<\/p>\n<p>C: H.Davis, E.Yeo, D.Robertson<\/p>\n<p>HF: J.Graham, J.Shanahan, W.Duursma<\/p>\n<p>F: A.Reid, J.Waterman, J.Cripps<\/p>\n<p>FOLL: M.Flynn, H.Reid, T.McCarthy<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: T.Kelly, C.Duff-Tytler, B.Allan, J.Newton, M.Murdock<\/p>\n<p>EMG: J.Lindsay, R.Maric, H.Schoenberg<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: How\u2019s this for a change \u2014 not too many changes expected at selection after a barnstorming win. The only loss is key defender Harry Edwards, who suffered another concussion in the win over North Melbourne and will now miss at least next Sunday against Port Adelaide. Sandy Brock could come into calculations as a like-for-like replacement, provided he\u2019s gotten over an ankle issue. Bailey Williams performed well in the ruck in the WAFL Eagles\u2019 practice game, but after a win, it might be hard back into Andrew McQualter\u2019s side this week. Midfielders Elijah Hewett (quad) and Tom Gross (hamstring) could return to the field this week after respective ailments, pending any setbacks, though likely through the WAFL. <\/p>\n<p>CARLTON v MELBOURNE<\/p>\n<p>Sunday March 29, 3.15pm at the MCG<\/p>\n<p>Blues\u2019 Round 1 team<\/p>\n<p>B: H.Dean, J.Weitering, L.Young<\/p>\n<p>HB: O.Hollands, M.McGovern, O.Florent<\/p>\n<p>C: C.Lord, P.Cripps (c), C.Chesser<\/p>\n<p>HF: W.Hayward, B.Kemp, E.Hollands<\/p>\n<p>F: Z.Williams, H.Mcay, B.Ainsworth<\/p>\n<p>R: M.Pittonet, J.Smith, S.Walsh<\/p>\n<p>I\/C: L.Cowan, G.Hewett, M.Carroll, L.Fogarty, H.O\u2019Keeffe<\/p>\n<p>EMG: T.Byrne, J.Boyd, A.Moir<\/p>\n<p>Team Tips: Some cavalry is on the way for the Blues in the next week or so, with Adam Cerra (hamstring), Matt Cottrell (knee), Frankie Evans (knee), Adam Saad (hamstring) and Billy Wilson (foot) all set to be back this week or next, pending any setbacks. Nic Newman is back available from his VFL suspension, but whether he\u2019s eased back in through the VFL or not remains to be seen. The reserves also had a bye at the weekend.
