AFL Teams 2023: Round 21

Thursday – Early news

Round 21 Teamsheets have dropped! Early news, we get to see round 5 selected draft pick for the dons with Elijah Tsatas (Mid $292k). He does come with a hefty price tag for this stage of the season, but his numbers are elite in VFL (93 and 102 last 2 games) and if you have the spare cash could be a great back up or quick money maker with Eagles and North in next 2 weeks. James Borlase (Def $200k) will also debut for Crows. The coach has confirmed that Brandon Ryan (Fwd $222k) will get another run for the hawks this week. Jayden Short will be back for the tigers as will ruckman Toby Nankervis.
