ROUND 6 TEAM TIPS AND FIXTURE (all times AEST)
BRISBANE LIONS v COLLINGWOOD
Thursday April 17, 7:30pm at the Gabba
Lions’ Round 5 side
B: D.Zorko, J.Payne, R.Lester
HB: N.Answerth, H.Andrews - C, D.Wilmot
C: J.Fletcher, Z.Bailey, J.Berry
HF: C.Cameron, E.Hipwood, H.McCluggage
F: C.Rayner, S.Day, L.Morris
FOLL: O.McInerney, J.Dunkley, L.Neale
I/C: C.Ah Chee, W.Ashcroft, L.Ashcroft, B.Reville, W.McLachlan (sub)
EMG: S.Marshall, D.Gardiner, D.Fort
Team Tips: The comeback Lions pulled off their latest masterpiece after trailing the Bulldogs by 39 points in Norwood, and you’d think there wouldn’t be too many changes to their winning formula ahead of an Easter Thursday blockbuster against Collingwood back on their home deck. That being said, AFL Media’s Michael Whiting reports that PIck #25 from last year’s draft Sam Marshall will make his debut for Chirs Fagan’s side on Thursday night. Small forward Will McLachlan started as the sub and replaced Bruce Reville in the fourth quarter after the utility collected 14 disposals in just under a half of game time. Livewire Kai Lohmann (ankle) will push to prove his fitness in time for Brisbane’s meeting with the Pies, which would likely come at the expense of McLachlan. Rebounder Keidean Coleman (knee) might still be a month away from returning.
Magpies’ Round 5 side
B: B.Maynard, B.Frampton, J.Howe
HB: J.Daicos, D.Moore - C, H.Perryman
C: P.Lipinski, S.Sidebottom, J.Crisp
HF: B.Hill, B.Mihocek, L.Sullivan
F: B.McCreery, D.McStay, T.Membrey
FOLL: D.Cameron, N.Long, N.Daicos
I/C: I.Quaynor, J.Elliott, S.Pendlebury, W.Hoskin-Elliott, E.Allan (sub)
EMG: C.West, O.Markov, M.Cox
Team Tips: Coming off a rousing Gather Round win over Sydney, and despite managing without numerous stars in the process, the Magpies will head to Brisbane to play the undefeated Lions with plenty of confidence — especially after star midfielder-forward Jordan De Goey (ankle/Achilles) was on Tuesday cleared to return in time for the blockbuster. Meanwhile, livewire forward Lachie Schultz will spend another week or two on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, and dual All-Australian defender Dan Houston (suspension) isn’t available until Round 7. With De Goey set to get up for the crucial Gabba fixture, it could come at the expense of substitute Ed Allan (one disposal after coming on as the sub) or Lachie Sullivan (15 disposals and a goal), who were inclusions ahead of the Swans game. Jeremy Howe returned to Victoria after Gathter Round to be with family, but is expected to join his Mapies teammates in Queensland on Wednesday.
NORTH MELBOURNE v CARLTON
Thursday April 18, 3:20pm at Marvel Stadium
Kangaroos’ Round 5 side
B: C.Comben, A.Corr, G.Logue
HB: L.McDonald, C.Daniel, D.Tucker
C: F.O’Sullivan, T.Powell, C.McKercher
HF: P.Curtis, N.Larkey, H.Sheezel
F: C.Zurhaar, J.Darling, J.Konstanty
FOLL: T.Xerri, L.Davies-Uniacke, J.Simpkin - C
I/C: Z.Duursma, D.Stephens, Z.Fisher, L.Parker, R.Hardeman (sub)
EMG: B.Scott, T.Pink, B.Teakle
Team Tips: The Roos hung with the Suns but were ultimately outclassed at the Barossa last Saturday, and more changes may be coming after Gold Coast hit them with 21 goals. Intriguingly, dashing half-back-flanker Colby McKercher was tactically subbed out after eight disposals in 60 per cent time-on-ground. Fellow youngster Riley Hardeman replaced him at three-quarter-time and posted three disposals in 30 minutes of footy. Zane Duursma played his first senior game of the season and booted two goals from nine disposals and four marks. Midfield bull George Wardlaw, who is plotting a return from a hamstring injury, was sighted limping towards the end of an internal match sim at the weekend after an ankle-roll — but thankfully he is expected to pull up OK and put his hand up to play the Blues on Good Friday. Eddie Ford (hamstring) could return for Friday, while Jackson Archer (hamstring) is likely another week away.
Blues’ Round 5 side
B: J.Silvagni, J.Weitering, N.Haynes
HB: A.Saad, M.McGovern, Z.Williams
C: M.Carroll, P.Cripps - C, A.Cerra
HF: L.Fogarty, H.McKay, S.Docherty
F: M.Cottrell, C.Curnow, J.Motlop
FOLL: T.De Koning, G.Hewett, S.Walsh
I/C: O.Hollands, B.Kemp, C.Durdin, W.White, C.Lord (sub)
EMG: E.Hollands, L.Young
Team Tips: The Blues finally claimed their first win of the season, but it’s come at a significant injury cost. In his just first game back from personal issues, star forward Harry McKay exited with concussion after a head clash; set to miss at least a week as he enters the league’s protocols. But the big blow is to emerging attacker Brodie Kemp, who also went down against the Eagles, with it since being revealed the forward suffered a ruptured Achilles injury that will cost him the rest of the year. It’ll mean the Blues are once again undermanned in the forward line, and we know all about their scoring problems early this season — currently ranking dead-last in the competition for shots at goal per inside-50. Lewis Young shapes as a near-certain inclusion, having been named an emergency last week. Marc Pittonet appears to have recovered from a calf injury and could come straight back in to spell Tom De Koning in the ruck with McKay out. Elsewhere, wingman Blake Acres should return for Michael Voss’ side against the Roos after he was a late exclusion due to illness. Acres was replaced in the selected side by Cooper Lord, who raked in 15 disposals, five marks and a goal from 64 per cent game-time. Elijah Hollands played in the VFL two weekends ago after missing the start of the season due to personal reasons, but 7 News reporter Mitch Cleary on Tuesday night said Hollands was “in the frame” for an AFL re-call on Good Friday.
WEST COAST EAGLES v ESSENDON
Thursday April 18, 6:10pm at Optus Stadium
Eagles’ Round 5 side
B: B.Hough, H.Edwards, R.Ginbey
HB: J.Hunt, S.Brock, R.Maric
C: T.Dewar, L.Duggan, J.Graham
HF: J.Cripps, J.Waterman, M.Owies
F: A.Reid, O.Allen - C, L.Ryan
FOLL: B.Williams, L.Baker, H.Reid
I/C: T.Gross, C.Hall, J.Williams, J.Hutchinson, H.Davis (sub)
EMG: H.Johnston, M.Flynn, T.Cole
Team Tips: Another disappointing loss added to the Eagles’ 2025 tally. In what could maybe be the return to help turn the tide, West Coast have listed Jeremy McGovern as a test to return from his adductor injury. All things going well, a successful training on Wednesday will see him named. Potentially joining him could be Elijah Hewett, who looks to have overcome a low-grade calf strain. Key forward Jack Williams was tactically subbed out after going goalless with three disposals in half a game, with his replacement Hamish Davis chipping in with five disposals after coming on in the third quarter. The key selection decision will revolve around whether or not midfielder Tim Kelly will return after being omitted after the Eagles’ Round 4 loss to GWS. In his first WAFL match in eight years, Kelly gathered 20 disposals and laid five tackles against Subiaco — but young ball-getters Tom Gross and Clay Hall are putting their best feet forward in keeping their spots. And when will top draftee Bo Allan make his debut? The uncapped 19-year-old was a late withdrawal from last week’s WAFL game against Subiaco, but he surely can’t be far off playing with the way his new club has been playing.
Bombers’ Round 5 side
B: A.McGrath, B.McKay, J.Ridley
HB: M.Redman, Z.Reid, J.Prior
C: X.Duursma, A.Perkins, A.Roberts
HF: J.Gresham, N.Caddy, N.Martin
F: H.Jones, S.Draper, I.Kako
FOLL: N.Bryan, Z.Merrett - C, S.Durham
I/C: B.Hobbs, D.Shiel, W.Setterfield, J.Menzie, S.El-Hawli (sub)
EMG: E.Tsatas, L.Hayes, A.Day-Wicks
Team Tips: The Bombers claimed their second-straight win last Saturday, but it came at a cost, with Nick Bryan (ACL) to miss the remainder of the season in an unfortunate blow. It’ll mean Sam Draper plays more ruck, with veteran Todd Goldstein to be a consideration for Brad Scott if he still wants two ruckmen in his side. Otherwise, Draper could do the tap-work solo against the Eagles’ Bailey Williams. Saad El-Hawli started as the sub but played 62 per cent of the contest after entering early for Bryan, collecting 18 disposals, five marks and four tackles. Elijah Tsatas was among the emergencies after recovering from his broken hand but given the Dons’ uptick in form and no VFL played at the weekend — and an impressive season debut from Will Setterfield (21 disposals, 10 tackles) — it’s hard to imagine many unforced changes to this side.
MELBOURNE v FREMANTLE
Friday April 19, 1:20pm at the MCG
Demons’ Round 5 side
B: J.Bowey, S.May, H.Petty
HB: T.Rivers, T.McDonald, C.Salem
C: K.Chandler, J.Viney, E.Langdon
HF: J.Henderson, B.Fritsch, K.Pickett
F: J.Melksham, J.van Rooyen, C.Spargo
FOLL: M.Gawn - C, C.Petracca, H.Langford
I/C: C.Windsor, C.Oliver, X.Lindsay, T.Sparrow, H.Sharp (sub)
EMG: D.Turner, J.Billings, T.Fullarton
Team Tips: Another disappointing loss for the Demons, who again couldn’t get bang for buck from their centre-bounce work. They managed just two goals from 28 inside-50s and had 16 centre-bounce clearances for just one point, with Simon Goodwin and his match committee set to consider alternatives at the selection table this week. Jack Henderson was subbed out tactically after managing four disposals in half a game, and he could be set for a spell in the reserves as a result. Jake Melksham had seven disposals and went scoreless in 76 per cent game-time, while Charlie Spargo was also quiet. However, the Demons could be forced into changes with Steven May (plantar fasciitis) and Kysaiah Pickett (ankle) under clouds, but Goodwin said on Tuesday he believes both will suit up to play the Dockers. Promisingly, Xavier Lindsay got through unscathed after returning from a knee injury, and there weren’t any injuries to report from the match. Matt Jefferson could be considered after recovering from a hand injury, while handy defender Judd McVee (hamstring) is nearing a return.
Dockers’ Round 5 side
B: J.Draper, A.Pearce - C, B.Cox
HB: H.Chapman, L.Ryan, J.Clark
C: M.Reid, H.Young, J.O’Meara
HF: M.Frederick, S.Switkowski, S.Bolton
F: P.Voss, J.Treacy, J.Amiss
FOLL: S.Darcy, C.Serong, A.Brayshaw
I/C: M.Johnson, J.Sharp, B.Banfield, K.Worner, I.Dudley (sub)
EMG: O.McDonald, L.Reidy, J.Aish
Team Tips: The Dockers made it three wins on the trot after trumping the Tigers, and this side might finally be starting to hit its straps. Sean Darcy was quiet but got through his first AFL game of the season unscathed, as did Hayden Young. Meanwhile, unless Fremantle challenges, forward Patrick Voss (suspension) will be unavailable for three weeks after breaking Nick Vlastuin’s nose with a swinging strike. Voss was playing a pinch-hitting role in the ruck with Luke Jackson (hamstring) out of the side. Livewire small forward Isaiah Dudley played a cameo role as the sub. Elsewhere, veteran Nat Fyfe can’t catch a break after suffering a moderate-grade hamstring strain in the WAFL at the weekend.
ADELAIDE CROWS v GWS GIANTS
Saturday April 19, 4:15pm at Adelaide Oval
Crows’ Round 5 side
B: M.Hinge, J.Worrell, R.Laird
HB: W.Milera, M.Keane, M.Michalanney
C: I.Cumming, J.Dawson - C, L.Sholl
HF: B.Keays, R.Thilthorpe, I.Rankine
F: D.Fogarty, T.Walker, A.Neal-Bullen
FOLL: R.O’Brien, J.Soligo, J.Peatling
I/C: D.Curtin, S.Draper, M.Crouch, L.Nankervis, Z.Taylor (sub)
EMG: S.Berry, J.Borlase, L.Pedlar
Team Tips: The Crows fell disappointingly to Geelong in the second half last Thursday night, but livewire Izak Rankine promisingly got through unscathed after initially being considered a possible late exclusion due to his corky. Key defender Nick Murray (knee) might be another week away from a potential return, while Josh Rachele (ribs) is still multiple weeks away from consideration. Zac Taylor (eight disposals and a goal) showed promising signs after coming on as the sub, replacing Lachie Sholl (seven disposals in a half). Emergencies Sam Berry and Luke Pedlar could be considered for their season debuts if Matthew Nicks desires a point of difference at selection.
Giants’ Round 5 side
B: C.Idun, S.Taylor, H.Himmelberg
HB: L.Whitfield, J.Buckley, L.Ash
C: J.Wehr, F.Callaghan, C.Ward
HF: D.Jones, J.Stringer, T.Bedford
F: T.Greene - C, J.Hogan, A.Cadman
FOLL: K.Briggs, J.Kelly, T.Green
I/C: C.Stone, C.Brown, J.Riccardi, H.Thomas, T.McMullin (sub)
EMG: C.Angove, J.Leake
Team Tips: The Giants seem unlikely to make many unforced changes to a winning formula, having won four of five matches to begin the year. Inclusion Harvey Thomas was decent in his season debut, kicking a goal from 13 disposals. Toby McMullin was the starting sub after coming in as the late inclusion for an ill Xavier O’Halloran, replacing Callum Brown tactically in the fourth quarter. Brent Daniels (abdomen) also missed against the Saints and is likely a test to play the Crows, while Stephen Coniglio (glute) will also have to pass a fitness test after missing the past two matches.
RICHMOND v GOLD COAST SUNS
Saturday April 19, 7:35pm at Marvel Stadium
Tigers’ Round 5 side
B: N.Vlastuin, B.Miller, N.Broad
HB: J.Short, L.Trainor, T.Brown
C: S.Banks, K.McIntosh, T.Sonsie
HF: J.Ross, S.Campbell, S.Green
F: M.Rioli, T.Lynch, J.Faull
FOLL: T.Nankervis - C, T.Taranto, J.Hopper
I/C: J.Blight, H.Ralphsmith, J.Trezise, T.Dow, J.Bauer (sub)
EMG: K.Smith, S.Ryan, C.Gray
Team Tips: Focus will again be directed at whether or not Richmond opts to select defender Noah Balta, whose court date is just a week away. The Tigers stressed that their choice not to play Balta against Fremantle was a ‘purely football decision’, with the key-position stopper subsequently lining up against the nation’s best under-18 players in a practice match at RSEA Park last Sunday. The question will again be asked in the lead-up to this week’s selection, with key defender Ben Miller providing little resistance as Dockers star Josh Treacy did whatever he wanted at the Barossa en route to six goals, while Jacob Blight continues to play a swingman role. Spearhead Tom Lynch was subbed out ‘managed’ but appeared proppy all afternoon, with Jacob Bauer coming on after starting as the sub. If Lynch misses against Gold Coast, Bauer could slot back into the starting 22, with Harry Armstrong (hamstring) set for a lengthy stint out of action. Key forward Jonty Faull was competitive in a tough start to his AFL career, with Samson Ryan, Liam Fawcett and Tom Sims waiting in the wings for forward-half opportunity in the seniors. No.1 pick Sam Lalor (hip) has been labelled a test as he plots a recall after missing against Fremantle.
Suns’ Round 5 side
B: W.Powell, S.Collins, B.Uwland
HB: J.Noble, M.Andrew, D.Rioli
C: L.Weller, M.Rowell, S.Clohesy
HF: B.Ainsworth, T.Miller, S.Flanders
F: B.King, B.Humphrey, E.Read
FOLL: J.Witts, W.Graham, N.Anderson - C
I/C: J.Walter, B.Long, J.Rogers, J.Sudar-Jeffrey, N.Holman (sub)
EMG: B.Fiorini, N.Moyle, C.Graham
Team Tips: This undefeated Gold Coast train keeps rolling, and there won’t be many, if any, unforced changes after Damien Hardwick’s side dropped 21 goals on North Melbourne en route to a 52-point win. The Suns will take a cautious approach with Connor Budarick (ribs), who missed the Roos clash and more likely than not will be given another week instead of being risked against Richmond. Second-year forward Jake Rogers came into the starting 22 and logged 14 disposals and a goal, with veteran Nick Holman included as the sub and managing five disposals and a goal in a quarter of play.
SYDNEY SWANS v PORT ADELAIDE
Sunday April 20, 3:20pm at the SCG
Swans’ Round 5 side
B: J.Hamling, D.Rampe, N.Blakey
HB: S.Wicks, M.Roberts, O.Florent
C: B.Campbell, I.Heeney, J.Lloyd
HF: H.McLean, W.Hayward, J.Jordon
F: J.Amartey, T.McCartin, Co.Warner
FOLL: B.Grundy, Ch.Warner, J.Rowbottom - C
I/C: R.Bice, P.Ladhams, T.Hanily, C.Cleary, A.Sheldrick (sub)
EMG: B.Paton, A.Francis, C.Mitchell
Team Tips: The Swans were outplayed by the Magpies last Friday night, and they’ll be forced into at least one change with Joel Amartey (hamstring) expected to miss four weeks, per Nine’s Tom Morris on Tuesday. It’s a blow for Sydney’s attack, with Amartey coming off a four-goal outing against North Melbourne in Round 4. Could swingman Tom McCartin shift back into the forward line with key backman Aaron Francis among last week’s emergencies, or will Dean Cox’s side go smaller against the Power? Midfielder Angus Sheldrick was impressive as the sub in 38 per cent game-time, notching 13 disposals, six tackles and a goal in that time. There was no VFL football played at the weekend, so it will be interesting to see whether Harry Cunningham (foot) returns via the reserves this weekend, with Riley Bice (21 disposals and 466 metres gained vs. Collingwood) and Caiden Cleary (18 disposals and seven tackles) playing good footy across the half-backline and the flanks.
Power’s Round 5 side
B: J.Sinn, A.Aliir, M.Bergman
HB: La.Jones, E.Ratugolea, K.Farrell
C: C.Moraes, C.Rozee - C, J.Burgoyne
HF: J.Mead, M.Georgiades, W.Rioli
F: S.Powell-Pepper, O.Lord, J.Richards
FOLL: J.Sweet, J.Horne-Francis, Z.Butters
I/C: T.Cochrane, O.Wines, W.Drew, T.Boak, J.Berry (sub)
EMG: I.Soldo, L.Evans, W.Lorenz
Team Tips: The Power surged to an upset victory over the Hawks to once again ease pressure on Ken Hinkley in the short term, and it might mean a relatively unchanged line-up going into a preliminary final rematch against Sydney. Gun defender Miles Bergman battled a knee issue against the Hawks and was eventually subbed out in the third quarter. There’ll be a watch on his availability this week, and if he can’t get up, Logan Evans — who was omitted ahead of the Hawks clash — looms as a potential replacement. Elsewhere, livewire forward Willie Rioli (personal) took a leave of absence on Tuesday following racial abuse in reaction to his social media comments. The club, however, expects him to play this weekend.
WESTERN BULLDOGS v ST KILDA
Sunday April 20, 7:20pm at Marvel Stadium
Bulldogs’ Round 5 side
B: B.Khamis, L.Jones, L.Bramble
HB: J.Johannisen, R.Lobb, B.Dale
C: B.Williams, T.Liberatore - C, S.Davidson
HF: C.Hynes, A.Naughton, R.Sanders
F: J.O’Donnell, S.Darcy, J.Harmes
FOLL: T.English, M.Kennedy, E.Richards
I/C: L.Cleary, J.Freijah, L.McNeil, R.West, J.Dolan (sub)
EMG: J.Busslinger, H.Gallagher, C.Poulter
Team Tips: After leading at one point by 39 points against the reigning premiers, the Bulldogs lost to the Lions in disappointing fashion. James Harmes suffered a foot injury in the opening minutes last Saturday and faces a stint on the sidelines, but in news Dogs fans have desperately been hoping for, star skipper Marcus Bontempelli (calf) is on track to play this weekend against the Saints, should he get through the club’s main training. Taylor Duryea and Laitham Vandermeer (knee) could be selection considerations if deemed fit for selection, with Cooper Hynes (three disposals in 60 per cent game-time) quiet in his debut.
Saints’ Round 5 side
B: R.Byrnes, C.Wilkie, J.Webster
HB: T.Travaglia, N.Wanganeen-Milera, J.Sinclair
C: M.Wood, J.Steele - C, M.Windhager
HF: B.Hill, J.Higgins, M.Owens
F: C.Sharman, A.Caminiti, D.Wilson
FOLL: R.Marshall, J.Macrae, H.Garcia
I/C: Z.Jones, L.Collard, L.Stocker, M.Hall, A.Hastie (sub)
EMG: A.Schoenmaker, H.Boyd, H.Boxshall
Team Tips: The Saints put up a fight against the Giants but were ultimately outclassed at Norwood. Tactical substitute Angus Hastie replaced Lance Collard (three disposals) in the third quarter, while Tobie Travaglia (eight disposals in 68 per cent game-time) was quiet in his third game. There might be a watch on the health of Rowan Marshall (12 disposals and two marks in 78 per cent game-time), who appeared a bit proppy last Sunday. He nursed a pelvic stress fracture in the pre-season. SSP recruit Harry Boyd is waiting in the wings if Marshall is unavailable. Hunter Clark (abdominal) is nearing a return, while Liam O’Connell (concussion) could be available but Max King (knee) remains without a timeline.
GEELONG CATS v HAWTHORN
Monday April 21, 3:20pm at the MCG
Cats’ Round 5 side
B: C.O’Sullivan, S.De Koning, M.Blicavs
HB: L.Humphries, M.O’Connor, Z.Guthrie
C: B.Smith, P.Dangerfield - C, O.Dempsey
HF: B.Close, S.Mannagh, G.Miers
F: S.Neale, J.Cameron, T.Stengle
FOLL: R.Stanley, M.Holmes, T.Atkins
I/C: M.Knevitt, O.Henry, J.Bowes, O.Mullin, T.Clohesy (sub)
EMG: M.Duncan, O.Wiltshire
Team Tips: Coming off a stirring Gather Round win over Adelaide last Thursday, the Cats are unlikely to make many changes heading into their traditional Easter Monday fixture with Hawthorn. Provided he’s overcome the gastro that forced him out of last week’s win, five-time All-Australian Tom Stewart will return for Chris Scott’s side. Ted Clohesy was the late inclusion in his place and may find himself the selection casualty after coming on as the sub and playing just 14 per cent of the game. Oisin Mullin managed just eight disposals in 73 per cent time-on-ground against the Crows and could be among the omission possibilities ahead of Monday’s clash with the Hawks. Jake Kolodjashnij is nearing a return from a groin injury but may still need another week before being in consideration — and even then, he may return through the VFL initially. There remain no definitive timelines on the returns of Cam Guthrie (Achilles) and Toby Conway (back).
Hawks’ Round 5 side
B: T.Barrass, B.Hardwick, J.Sicily - C
HB: J.Battle, J.Impey, J.Weddle
C: K.Amon, C.Nash, C.Jiath
HF: H.Morrison, N.Watson, J.Ginnivan
F: F.Maginness, M.Chol, D.Moore
FOLL: L.Meek, J.Newcombe, J.Ward
I/C: C.Mackenzie, J.Gunston, J.Worpel, M.D’Ambrosio, L.Breust (sub)
EMG: N.Reeves, J.Serong, H.Hustwaite
Team Tips: The Hawks rebound from a disappointing loss to Port Adelaide to cap Gather Round, and there may be a change or two coming this week. Midfielder Conor Nash exited the loss with a hand/wrist concern and will be a watch leading into Easter Monday. Connor Macdonald (ankle) could return if the club’s medical staff decides he’s fit. Henry Hustwaite should again be in selection considerations after being named in the emergencies last week.
