There was also plenty of big injury news last week. Jason Horne-Francis will miss one match through suspension, while Rory Laird suffered a significant ankle injury. Geelong have been hit hard, losing both Jeremy Cameron (shoulder, at least four weeks) and Tanner Bruhn. Hawthorn will also be without Karl Amon and Will Day, but the biggest blow of all is to Zak Butters, who suffered a serious ankle injury and is set for an extended stint on the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A moment to remember ??<\/p>\n<p>Jay Polkinghorne is set to make his AFL debut tomorrow night! ??<\/p>\n<p>?? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZuHilrFT73\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZuHilrFT73<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0fFVc2GiC0\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/0fFVc2GiC0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Geelong Cats (@GeelongCats) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GeelongCats\/status\/2077213503400931366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WA &gt; Tassie VFL &gt; AFL Debut in the Sash.<\/p>\n<p>What a journey it has been for Jaxon ??<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p2sTKdOSz5\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/p2sTKdOSz5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Essendon FC (@essendonfc) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/essendonfc\/status\/2077642627298754833?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The big time awaits ??<\/p>\n<p>Defender Balyn O&#8217;Brien will debut in front of a home crowd on Saturday! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ao1esiRgo7\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/Ao1esiRgo7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Port Adelaide FC (@PAFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PAFC\/status\/2077294596590027014?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">July 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Important times to remember<\/p>\n<p>Thursday game teamsheets ~6:20pm AEDT Wednesday<\/p>\n<p>Friday\/Sat\/Sun game teamsheets ~6:20pm AEDT Thursday<\/p>\n<p>Sunday extended bench selection ~5:00pm AEDT Friday<\/p>\n<p>GAME 1: Geelong Cats vs St Kilda<br \/>\nThursday July 16 \u2013 AEST: 7:30pm GMHBA Stadium, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bom.gov.au\/places\/vic\/geelong\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Geelong \u2601<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Notes: Cloudy and cool conditions are forecast for tonight in Geelong.

Clear conditions are forecast, although with the game at Marvel Stadium weather is unlikely to play a significant role regardless. Jye Artemis will make his AFL debut after being named on the field, while Jordan Ridley returns. As expected, Lachie Whitfield is back after clearing concussion protocols. Unfortunately, after a monster game last week, Kieren Briggs is sidelined through injury, with Nick Madden set to lead the Giants\u2019 ruck division.<\/p>\n<p>Essendon<br \/>\nGWS Giants<\/p>\n<p>INS<br \/>\nJ.
