AFL Teams Round 16 2024 – MASHAHER

The Eagles are set to welcome back star duo Harley Reid and Tim Kelly as they look to put a stop to Hawthorn’s epic purple patch of form.

St Kilda have been bolstered by the inclusion of Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, while Port Adelaide have added veteran Travis Boak and debutant Will Lorenz to the side as Ken Hinkley looks to snap a three-game losing streak.

Meanwhile, Collingwood are back on track to a near-fully healthy list, Geelong called on the kids for a crunch clash with a reinforced Essendon, and the hot Lions and Dogs regained stars. Round 16 teams!

The Pies welcomed back a whopping five ins for their clash against Gold Coast, with Jordan de Goey, Scott Pendlebury, Brody Mihocek, Oleg Markov and Joe Richards all returning from injury.

Conversely, Lachie Schultz (illness) has been deemed underdone for the match, while Charlie Dean, Finlay Macrae, Reef McInnes and Tew Jiath have been forced to made way for the quintet.

As for the Suns, they welcome back Ben King and Nick Holman in place of an injured Brandon Ellis and omitted Jake Rogers.

As flagged by Adam Kingsley on Thursday morning, the Giants will take Stephen Coniglio, Harry Perryman and Isaac Cumming on board for their flight to Adelaide, with the latter playing his first game at the top level this season.

James Peatling, Ryan Angwin and Xavier O’Halloran were all omitted in their place.

The Crows will welcome back the all-important Taylor Walker from a back injury, while Matthew Nicks has reverted back to Reilly O’Brien as the preferred ruck over 28-year-old Kieran Strachan.

Elliott Himmelberg was also included, with James Borlase and Harry Schoenberg will join Strachan in the SANFL this weekend.

Chris Scott has pulled the trigger on youth at the Cattery for this Saturday night against Essendon, handing mature-aged 2023 draftee Lawson Humphries his first AFL game.

Shannon Neale and Mitch Knevitt come into the side alongside Humphries, with Knevitt playing his first game since Round 2.

Tom Hawkins’ foot issue is well-documented, with Ollie Henry also to miss the clash through injury.

As for brother Brad Scott at the Bombers, Todd Goldstein and Jade Gresham return to the senior side after missing last week’s match against West Coast.

Despite his two goals as Goldstein’s replacement on Sunday, Nate Caddy has been dropped alongside sub Jye Menzie.

All-Australian Caleb Daniel has once again been dropped from Luke Beveridge’s Bulldogs side, in another twist for his longevity at the club.

Buku Khamis and Anthony Scott have also been sent back to the reserves, making way for tall forwards Aaron Naughton and Sam Darcy – as well as Oskar Baker.

Intriguingly, Rory Lobb has kept his spot in the side despite questions over whether Beveridge can keep four key forwards in his best 23.

Marcus Bontempelli has also been named, but will no doubt still be a close watch given his back spasms at training on Wednesday.

Their opponents the Kangaroos have made just the one change, with George Wardlaw’s concussion at training on Thursday forcing him out of the side – replaced by Kallan Dawson.

St Kilda have a trio of inclusions – Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Jimmy Webster and Cooper Sharman, with Ross Lyon swinging the axe at selection.

Travis Boak, Lachie Jones and Will Lorenz will make the trip to Melbourne, while Esava Ratugolea and Jase Burgoyne will both miss with hamstring injuries.

Star midfielder Jacob Hopper returns for the Tigers, while mid-season draftee Jacob Blight will make his AFL debut against Carlton just 32 days after being drafted by the club. In a blow however, gun forward Tom Lynch will miss with a hamstring issue.

The Blues are set to welcome back midfield jet Adam Cerra in place of Corey Durdin (omitted).

The Eagles regain star midfielders Harley Reid and Tim Kelly at the expense of Jack Petruccelle (hamstring) and Jack Hutchinson, while Hawthorn have recalled Harry Morrison for veteran Luke Breust.

Brisbane named Will Ashcroft for his first game back from an ACL tear suffered last year, with opponents Melbourne regaining star backman Jake Lever while naming Andy Moniz-Wakefield for his AFL debut.
