Teamsheets are dropping Soon! Early news, be aware there are two Good Friday games this round, and also be wary of the Easter Monday game, we won’t know selected players before Sunday.
Some prior news before tonight’s teams: James Peatling has received a one-week suspension. At the Bombers, Nick Bryan has unfortunately done a knee and will miss the season potentially opening the door for Draper to shine as a solo ruck. Tom Stewart is listed as available, but with a Monday game, we won’t know his selection status until Sunday night. Meanwhile, Miles Bergman has been cleared for Port, and Tigers rookie Sam Lalor is also available. And finally, Luke Beveridge has confirmed Marcus Bontempelli should be good to go for the Dogs this week.
Important times to remember:
Thursday Game teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Wed
Weekend Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Thurs
Sunday games Extended bench selection ~5:00pm EST Friday
Notes: Teams were already announced on Wednesday for tonights game. Sam Marshall (Mid $268K) is a debut for the Lions, but could be the Sub. UPDATE: He is the sub, and Edward Allan the sub for the pies. JDG is always worth a watch, and could influence the role of some Pies players.

GAME 2: North Melbourne vs Carlton
Friday, April 18, 3:20pm AEST Marvel Stadium Melbourne 🌦🌡
Notes: 1st of 2 Friday games and an early game at 3:20pm ? beware. Shock for those who had him, Sam Docherty has been dropped. George Wardlaw is back which could affect the midfield roles of other Roos mids. Likely the bigger news is a non inclusion, with Pittonet not being selected for blues meaning TDK is still solo ruck

GAME 3: West Coast Eagles vs Essendon
Friday, April 18, 6:10pm AEST (Local Time 4:10pm) Optus Stadium Perth 🌦🌡
Notes: Matt Flynn is back in to be main ruck for the Eagles, Peter Wright is back for the Dons ? possibly impacting Sam Draper as a main ruck. For me, it’s a watch only. Elijah Hewett is in if he’s been stuck on your bench, but this has sub written all over it. Saad El-Hawli also looks the most likely player to be sub on the bench ? have a backup plan if he’s in your trades.

A windy cold day in 2015, I was bored, sick with the flu, and decided to start a blog about Teamsheets. I was immediately recruited by Warnie and somehow am now a DTTALK author.
NOTE; Im Back in 2022! woooo

~REMEMBER: Friends don't let friends DT TEAMS become ghost ships.
Note: If you’re wondering why Emergencies aren’t listed this week, it’s because the AFL quietly changed their team format and just… left them out. Great move if your goal is to confuse fantasy coaches everywhere.
