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 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.

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.

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.
