\nGame 1: Crows vs Pies<\/a> | Wednesday \u2013 Early news<\/p>\n Early News: There were plenty of big injury concerns coming out of last round. Max Holmes suffered a nasty ankle injury and is now expected to miss 8-10 weeks, while Toby Greene is sidelined for 3-4 weeks with a quad injury after looking like one of the best forward premium options. Rory Laird has now been confirmed to miss three weeks, while Josh Daicos is a test after hurting his ankle last week. Tanner Bruhn is also a test and could emerge as a sneaky DEF option with Holmes unavailable. Jason Horne-Francis returns from suspension, but popular POD Joe Richards is out for 3-4 weeks with a finger injury. Karl Amon has been upgraded to 2-3 weeks away, while Will Day is expected to return this week. Richmond rookie Jasper Alger is expected to miss two weeks with an ankle injury, and there are alarm bells for Rowan Marshall owners with Tom De Koning listed as a test.<\/p>\n Important times to remember<\/p>\n Thursday game teamsheets ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Friday\/Saturday\/Sunday game teamsheets ~6:20pm AEST Friday<\/p>\n Sunday extended bench selection ~5:00pm AEST Friday<\/p>\n GAME 1: Adelaide Crows vs Collingwood Notes: Partly cloudy conditions are forecast for Thursday night, with the high chance of showers expected mainly during the early morning. Brayden Cook has been excellent cover for some coaches over the past few weeks, but unfortunately he has been managed. Sam Swadling has been dropped for the Magpies. The good news for Josh Daicos owners is that he has been named. As this is the opening game of the round, make sure you keep an eye on any late-out news.<\/p>\n Adelaide Crows INS OUTS **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Backs Half Backs Centre Half Forwards Forwards Followers Interchange Emergencies Backs Half Backs Centre Half Forwards Forwards Followers Interchange Emergencies GAME 2: Melbourne vs Geelong Cats Notes: Cloudy conditions and a slight chance of a shower are forecast for Friday night.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 3: Fremantle vs West Coast Eagles Notes: Clear conditions and light winds are forecast for Friday night.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 4: Carlton vs Gold Coast Suns Notes: Marvel Stadium\u2019s roof should be closed, with showers forecast outside during the morning and afternoon.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 5: Hawthorn vs Essendon Notes: A high chance of showers is forecast during the morning and afternoon, with northwesterly winds also expected.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 6: GWS Giants vs Sydney Swans Notes: Sunny conditions and light winds are forecast for Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 7: Western Bulldogs vs Richmond Notes: Marvel Stadium\u2019s roof should be closed, with showers forecast outside during the day and evening.<\/p>\n **CLICK HERE** Show \/ Hide Full Teams \u00bb<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n Teams updated ~6:20pm AEST Thursday<\/p>\n GAME 8: Brisbane Lions vs Port Adelaide Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended bench selections at approximately 5pm on Friday.
