AFL Teams 2025: Round 18

Round 18 Teams have dropped!

Thursday – Early news

Teamsheets have dropped! Early news, Thursday teams are already in with no major ins or outs. The Dons confirmed another debutant with Oskar Smartt (Fwd $230k). Caldwell is out for 6-8 weeks, Zach Reid is done for the year, and Parish is still TBC. That means more opportunity for Dons rookies. BAZ should return from illness, Whitfield is cleared to play, and LDU will miss with concussion. Rookie Alger (Tigers) is out 3-4 weeks with an ankle injury.

Important times to remember:

Thursday game Teamsheet ~6:20pm EST Wednesday

Weekend Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Thursday

Sunday games Extended bench selection ~5:00pm EST Friday

 

GAME 1: Carlton vs Brisbane Lions

Thursday, July 10, 7:30pm EST Marvel Stadium, Melbourne 🌙🌦🌬

Notes: No real DT-relevant changes. Cincotta returns and could tag a Lions mid.

TEAM IN OUT
Blues Corey Durdin, Alex Cincotta Francis Evans (Omitted), Blake Acres (Omitted)
Lions Oscar McInerney Sam Day (Personal Reason)

GAME 2: Gold Coast SUNS vs Collingwood

Friday, July 11, 7:40pm EST People First Stadium, Gold Coast 🌙🙂

Notes: Not many DT-relevant changes. Steele Sidebottom returns, which might shake up midfield roles slightly.

TEAM IN OUT
Suns David Swallow, Jarrod Witts Alex Sexton (Omitted), Ned Moyle (Omitted)
Magpies Steele Sidebottom, Lachie Schultz, Mason Cox Patrick Lipinski (Managed), Brody Mihocek (Managed), Wil Parker (Omitted)

GAME 3: Western Bulldogs vs Adelaide Crows

Saturday, July 12, 1:20pm EST Marvel Stadium, Melbourne ☀🙂

Notes: Another game without DT relevance. Josh Dolan could be a downgrade option, while Sam Davidson returns but is unlikely to be on many benches.

TEAM IN OUT
Bulldogs Josh Dolan, Sam Davidson Taylor Duryea (Omitted), Lachlan McNeil (Omitted)
Crows Brayden Cook, Chayce Jones, Wayne Milera Brodie Smith (Omitted), Josh Rachele (Injured), Lachlan Murphy (Omitted)

GAME 4: GWS GIANTS vs Geelong Cats

Saturday, July 12, 4:15pm EST ENGIE Stadium, West Sydney ☀🌬

Notes: Two huge ins with Whitfield and Bailey Smith. Any small hope owners had of Leake being a cash making rookie dashed with him out again. Gruzewski has had to have a record scoring a 1 in his last two games.

TEAM IN OUT
Giants Lachie Whitfield, Jesse Hogan James Leake (Omitted), Max Gruzewski (Omitted)
Cats Bailey Smith Mitch Duncan (Injured)

GAME 5: Richmond vs Essendon

Saturday, July 12, 7:35pm EST MCG, Melbourne 🌙🙂

Notes: Blast from the past, Jayden Short is finally back in. Not an option in my opinion. Two debuts with both Smartt for Dons and Hotton for Tiges. We knew Caldwell and rookie Alger were out.

TEAM IN OUT
Tigers James Trezise, Tylar Young, Taj Hotton, Jacob Koschitzke, Jayden Short Noah Balta (Personal), Jasper Alger (Injured), Sam Lalor (Injured), Hugo Ralphsmith (Injured), Jacob Blight (Omitted)
Bombers Mason Redman, Elijah Tsatas, Oskar Smartt Archie Perkins (Omitted), Jye Caldwell (Injured), Jade Gresham (Omitted)

GAME 6: Fremantle vs Hawthorn

Saturday, July 12, 8:10pm EST Optus Stadium, Perth 🌙☁

Notes: Nothing DT relevant in the changes.

TEAM IN OUT
Dockers Sam Switkowski, Oscar McDonald Neil Erasmus (Omitted), Alex Pearce (Injured)
Hawks Calsher Dear, Finn Maginness Max Ramsden (Omitted), Seamus Mitchell (Injured)

GAME 7: Melbourne vs North Melbourne

Sunday, July 13, 1:10pm EST MCG, Melbourne ☁🌬

Notes: LDU and Larkey out for North. Potential debut for Tom Campbell as ruck cover.

Melbourne North Melbourne
IN – Jack Henderson, Tom Campbell IN – Luke Parker, Jack Darling, Zac Fisher, Callum Coleman-Jones, Charlie Comben
OUT – Blake Howes (omitted), Harry Sharp (omitted) OUT – Luke Davies-Uniacke (injured), Nick Larkey (injured)

GAME 8: St Kilda vs Sydney Swans

Sunday, July 13, 3:15pm EST Marvel Stadium, Melbourne ☁🌬

Notes: Lots of familiar cashcows on the extended bench here. Boxshall gives a glimmer of hope for those still holding, while others like Liam Henry and Max Heath are also in the mix. Riley Bice and Matt Roberts find themselves back on the extended bench too – if either is still in your squad at this point, it’s probably time to let go.

GAME 9: Port Adelaide vs West Coast Eagles

Sunday, July 13, 4:40pm EST Adelaide Oval, Adelaide 🌦🌬

Notes: Mani Liddy is back in contention via the extended bench, along with Tom Gross for the Eagles. Unfortunately for coaches still holding out hope, rookie Bo Allan has been dropped.










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 Twitter @shagbags2023 ~REMEMBER: Friends don't let friends DT TEAMS become ghost ships.
