Teamsheets have dropped! It’s ANZAC Round, and there are two Friday games this week – including the traditional Pies vs Dons clash to kick things off.
Early news: Campbell Gray (Def/Fwd) will debut for the Tigers – with rookies drying up, some might consider him as an option. He’s a good chance to be the sub, but we’ll know before lockout. Adam Yze has confirmed “we’ll have a different sub this week,” meaning Luke Trainor is off the hook – at least for now. Ollie Wines, who was subbed last week with heart concerns, is expected to train and play. With both Draper and Bryan injured at the Bombers, veteran Todd Goldstein is tipped to return. He might be a risky but cheap solo ruck option if selected. Luke Jackson is listed as just 1 week away. A few other DT-relevant names – Callum Mills, Keidean Coleman, and Mattaes Phillipou – are all 1-2 weeks off and worth watching as potential value pickups.
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: We already knew Campbell Gray was debuting ・it screams sub to me, but as the first game we can always check before lockout. McVee and May both in as KPP defenders makes me think Rivers could be a smokey pick up.

GAME 3: Fremantle vs Adelaide Crows
Friday, April 25, 7:10pm AEST (Local Time 5:10pm) Optus Stadium Perth 🌦🌡
Notes: The second Friday game on ANZAC Day sees the Dockers take on the Crows. Peatling is back ・if you held as a mid-pricer, it might pay off. Quinton Narkle earns his first game for Freo, though isn稚 so DT relevant at this stage.

GAME 4: St Kilda vs Brisbane Lions
Saturday, April 26, 12:20pm AEST Marvel Stadium Melbourne 🌦🌡
Notes: Isaac Keeler is back in if you had him as a cashcow. The inclusion of Kai Lohmann raises concerns that Tunstill could be the obvious sub choice from that bench, if you were considering him as a downgrade option this week.

GAME 5: Port Adelaide vs North Melbourne
Saturday, April 26, 3:15pm AEST (Local Time 2:45pm) Adelaide Oval Adelaide 🌦🌡
Notes: No big DT relevant changes here. Hardeman might be a fringe cashcow option back in for North. Same with Joe Berry for Port. Boak out might give some players like Moraes more opportunities.

GAME 6: GWS Giants vs Western Bulldogs
Saturday, April 26, 6:35pm AEST Manuka Oval Canberra 🌦🌡
Notes: Likely the best downgrade option this week, Jedd Busslinger has very good numbers in the VFL. If you池e jumping on a basement rookie, he痴 your guy. Named on field, so very unlikely to be sub, but do beware he痴 a key position defender and GWS are a tough opponent.
Notes: Docherty is back in, but listed on the bench ・if you held after his drop, he痴 back on your radar. Oliver Wiltshire could debut for the Cats, and veteran Mitch Duncan appears on the extended bench for the first time this season. Still no inclusion of Pittonet if you are a TDK owner.

GAME 9: Hawthorn vs West Coast Eagles
Sunday, April 27, 3:45pm AEST Marvel Stadium Melbourne 🌦🌡
Notes: Tim Kelly is out with injury, which improves the chances of Tom Gross if selected from the extended bench. Elijah Hewett is also on the extended list and likely to hold his spot after an excellent showing last round. He could be a pricey but relevant downgrade target.

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.
