AFL Team Selection: Round 17 v West Coast

Adelaide has made one change to its team for its clash against West Coast at Optus Stadium on Friday night.

Forward/ruck Toby Murray has been named in the line-up, and will make a return to the side for the first time since Round 14.

Murray’s inclusion comes off the back of a dominant display in the Crows’ SANFL win against Port Adelaide last weekend.

The 22-year-old finished the match with 20 disposals, 10 hit-outs, seven marks, four clearances and four goals.

“Toby showed exactly what we needed to see last week in what was a dominant performance at SANFL level,” Executive General Manager Football Adam Kelly said.

Eagles call on veteran, debutant to bolster midfield ahead of Crows

Tim Kelly returns for West Coast while Oliver Francou gets named for his first game

WEST Coast will be bolstered by the return of star on-baller Tim Kelly from a hamstring injury, while mid-season recruit Oliver Francou will make his AFL debut to add more midfield grunt ahead of its clash with Adelaide on Friday night.

The Eagles (4-11) were blitzed in the midfield during last week's 53-point loss to Carlton.

Francou, the son of former Port Adelaide midfielder Josh Francou, has starred in the WAFL since being picked up by West Coast, averaging 24 disposals and eight tackles per game across his four matches.

The Saints will make one change to the side as they look to bounce back and claim their sixth win of the year.

Veteran small forward Dan Butler returns to the side after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered against the Blues in Round 8. Butler played a vital role in the St Kilda VFL side's thrilling win over the Swans, with 23 disposals and the game-sealing goal.

Watch the best moments from St Kilda's VFL win over Sydney.

Mattaes Phillipou has been omitted, and will be named an emergency alongside Hugh Boxshall and Alex Dodson.

Giants gun ready to fire after 'mini pre-season'

A short break and GWS' bye has Jesse Hogan prepared for the second half of the season, says Adam Kingsley

WITH a planned bye-week break and "mini pre-season" under his belt, Greater Western Sydney spearhead Jesse Hogan is fully fit for the remainder of the season, according to coach Adam Kingsley.

Hogan has not featured since the Giants' round eight loss to Gold Coast, having been initially sidelined for two weeks with a hip pointer injury before undergoing a three-week reconditioning block that included the club's round 13 bye.

After successfully overcoming the injury, Hogan has been named in the extended squad for Sunday afternoon's match against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium.

WAFL team selection: Mid-season draftees to debut

The WAFL Eagles have confirmed their team for Sunday’s round eight clash with Peel Thunder

The WAFL Eagles have confirmed their team for Sunday’s round eight clash with Peel Thunder at Mineral Resources Park, with mid-season recruits Marcus Herbert and Oliver Francou set to make their first appearances in blue and gold.

All eyes will be on the exciting new additions, with Herbert (Geelong FC) and Francou (North Adelaide FC) named to debut after being selected in Tuesday’s AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft. The pair add fresh energy to the line-up and will be eager to make an immediate impact in their first outings for the club.

WAFL 2026: West Coast Eagles confirm mid-season draftees Marcus Herbert and Oliver Francou will debut

West Coast have confirmed mid-season draftees Marcus Herbert and Oliver Francou will debut in the WAFL on Sunday and revealed where they fit in to the club’s plans.

Geelong VFL recruit Herbert will slot in on the halfback line and look to replicate the success of last year’s top mid-season recruit Tom McCarthy, while South Australian Francou is set to line up alongside Elijah Hewett and Tom Gross in the engine room.

The pair were surprise selections by the Eagles at Tuesday’s draft, with many expecting the rebuilding club to opt for size to assist their undermanned defence.

Patience pays off for new Eagle after years of state-league toil

Marcus Herbert hopes to follow the same path as two former VFL teammates when he embarks on a six-month contract with West Coast

LOOKING around GMHBA Stadium, across the carpark and down the hallway inside the Geelong Football Club reminded Marcus Herbert to remain patient. Stay the course. Your time will come.

The Cats have mastered the art of mature-age recruiting better than anyone else this century. Before Tom Stewart and Tom Atkins were full-time footballers, they were in the same VFL program Herbert has spent the past six seasons.

But now the 23-year-old from Warrnambool has his chance, just on the opposite side of the country, after West Coast selected the half-back/midfielder at pick No.13 in Tuesday night's Telstra AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

SANFL Team Selection: Round Seven v Glenelg

Adelaide veteran Taylor Walker will feature in his first SANFL game for Kuwarna since 2014, after being named in the line-up for the team’s clash against Glenelg on Saturday afternoon.

Walker’s inclusion in the team comes after he had missed the past two AFL matches with a minor hamstring strain.

Mitch Hinge will also make his return to competitive football after sustaining a moderate hamstring strain during the AFL side’s Gather Round win against Carlton last month.

The pair will be joined in the team alongside fellow AFL-listed players including Archie Ludowyke, Chayce Jones, Tyler Welsh, Mitchell Marsh, Lachlan Sholl, Charlie Edwards, Hugh Bond, Finnbar Maley, Oscar Ryan, Nick Murray, Indy Cotton, Billy Dowling and Reilly O’Brien.

Round 7 Hostplus SANFL League Match Previews

Adelaide's Taylor Walker will play his first Hostplus SANFL League game on Saturday since Round 5 of 2014, when the Crows and Magpies did battle at the Clare Oval.

The Eagles had been averaging a league-best 98 points per game when the Tigers set their sights on the top-placed side.

So what a huge effort from Matthew Clarke’s men to keep them to a mere 52.

The Bays hadn’t been happy with their performance the week before in a loss to South, so their response would have delighted Clarke.

“This was a positive reinforcement of what we have done so far this season,” he said of the 23-point win that left his men level at the top of the table with the Eags with impressive 5-1 records.

Team selection: Key trio in for Derby

West Coast's final 23 has been confirmed ahead of Western Derby No.62

Important trio Elliot Yeo, Jamie Cripps and Milan Murdock are locked in to return for Western Derby No.62 at Optus Stadium.

Yeo and Murdock are both back from injury lay-offs, while Cripps was managed from the Gather Round clash against Geelong.

Midfielders Deven Robertson (knee) and Jack Graham (shoulder) have both been forced out of the team, while forward Matt Owies has been omitted.

West Coast leads the overall Western Derby record 33-28 and will be aiming to notch an upset on Sunday in front of their home crowd.

Eagles ruckman Williams relishes chance to take on Dockers’ ruck giants

West Coast ruckman Bailey Williams is facing one of the toughest tests of his career as he prepares to shoulder an immense burden in the biggest game of the Eagles’ season.

For Williams, western derby 62 will be all about trying to stop Fremantle’s dynamic and different ruck duo that threaten to be one of the biggest differences between the bitter rivals.

The Dockers have arguably the most talented and athletic ruckman in the game, Luke Jackson, whose form has been pivotal to their bright start to the season.

And they will unveil their trump card in former Collingwood cult hero Mason Cox in Sunday’s epic derby clash.

Young Crow to debut

Young Crow Charlie Edwards will make his AFL debut against St Kilda at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night.

The 20-year-old was selected as a midfielder with pick No.21 at the 2023 AFL Draft, before making a switch to half-back last year in the SANFL.

Edwards, however, returned to the Crows’ midfield fold this pre-season, and earned an AFL debut after putting together a strong bout of form in the Club’s recent SANFL games.

Across the opening two SANFL games this season, Edwards has averaged 24.5 disposals, six clearances and eight inside-50s.

Crows Executive General Manager Football Adam Kelly said Edwards deserved an opportunity after consistent hard work and dedication since he arrived at the Club.

Team Selection: Round 6 v Adelaide

St Kilda has finalised its team to face Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday.

The Saints will make just one change to the side that defeated Port Adelaide at the same ground on Sunday, as they look to take their third win of the season.

St Kilda coach Ross Lyon speaks to media ahead of the Saints' clash with the Adelaide Crows, thanks to Westinghouse.

Liam Stocker will return to the side, replacing Alix Tauru (managed). Stocker makes his way back into the side after entering concussion protocols following the VFL Easter Sunday clash with the Tigers.

The game will be played at 7:35pm AEST on Saturday, and will be broadcast live on Fox Footy and Kayo.

Team selection: Debutant, key returns boost Bombers for Gather Round

Essendon fans will get a first introduction to Sullivan Robey on Saturday afternoon, the exciting debutant one of four inclusions to take on Melbourne for Gather Round.

The Bombers' defensive unit will be bolstered by Jordan Ridley, with the former Crichton Medallist back in action after a solid buildup via the VFL in his comeback from injury. Midfielder Elijah Tsatas has also earned a recall for his first senior game of 2026 following a 36-disposal, eight-clearance effort against Footscray last week.

After missing last week due to concussion protocols, Nate Caddy is raring to go and has reclaimed his spot in the forward half.

AFL debut: Another young Bomber ready to launch

Essendon on Saturday will unveil its fifth debutant of 2026, with Sullivan Robey to play his first game at the highest level.

Robey joins Jacob Farrow, Dyson Sharp, Max Kondogiannis and Hussien El Achkar from last year's draft class to debut for the Bombers in their first season.

The 18-year-old was selected by Essendon with its first pick, No. 9, after an impressive top-age year in the Coates Talent League for Eastern Ranges, which included a 40-disposal, three-goal domination of the Western Jets in their Wildcard match-up, before a four-goal game in the Grand Final.

"Yeah, it's pretty surreal to be picked up by such an awesome club. It's going to be really exciting for 2026 and I can't wait to crack in," Robey said on draft night last November.
