AFL Teams 2025: Round 21

Thursday – Early news

Teamsheets have dropped! Early news, Bombers have an incredible 14th debut with Jayden Nguyen (Def/Mid $230k), if you want a playing cheapie although he could easily be the sub. JDG is confirmed to beback for the pies this week. Greene has copped a 1 week snaction if you had him as a pod. If you still had cashcow Kai Lohmann its a good week to unload as he is injured with a calf for 3-4 weeks. If you did have Docherty in your team, reminder he has retired so you’ll need to trade. Touk Miller is a test and could be back this week. You might have to have cover for Rozee who had a few question marks with his hand injury. Lastly if you took a punt on Harley Reid, unfortunately he is ruled out for the rest of the season.

Important times to remember:

Thurs Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Wed

Weekend Teamsheets ~6:20pm EST Thurs

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

GAME 1: Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants

Thursday, July 31, 7:30pm EST Marvel Stadium Melbourne ☁🏢🌙

Notes: Josh Kelly is out for awhile giving an opportunity to cashcow Harry Rowston, but with a big sub red flag. As reported Greene has a 1 week suspension.

GAME 2: Adelaide Crows vs Hawthorn Hawks

Friday, August 1, 7:40pm EST (Local Time 7:10pm) Adelaide Oval Adelaide ☁🌙

Notes: A few would have had Laird as a Def premo, he’s unfortunately out rested this week.

GAME 3: Melbourne Demons vs West Coast Eagles

Saturday, August 2, 1:20pm EST Marvel Stadium Melbourne ☁🏢

Notes: As reported Harley Reid is out for the season. Flynn has been dropped as the ruck. Maybe the odd team still has Xavier Lindsay who is managed. If you have Tom Gross as a bench warmer he’s back in, but a big sub risk. Demons have a new Debut with Jai Culley, but he’s too pricey as a cashcow at this stage of the season imho.

GAME 4: Gold Coast Suns vs Richmond Tigers

Saturday, August 2, 4:10pm EST People First Stadium Gold Coast ☀

Notes: Touk Miller is officially back in for the Suns. Cashcow Jasper Alger is out injured.

GAME 5: Sydney Swans vs Essendon Bombers

Saturday, August 2, 4:15pm EST SCG Sydney ☀

Notes: Lots of changes here. Jayden Nguyen is an incredible 14th debut for the Dons, but screams sub to me. Archer May is also back in. But Dons lose cashcows Zak Johnson, Saad El-Hawli and more injuries with Ridley and Caddy. For Swans, Matt Roberts is dropped! Jesse Dattoli (Mid/Fwd $277k) is a debut for the Swans. Also screams sub though. Is Ladhams in a small red flag for Grundy owners?

GAME 6: Collingwood Magpies vs Brisbane Lions

Saturday, August 2, 7:35pm EST MCG Melbourne 🌙☁

Notes: Jordan De Goey is back in for the Pies, making way is former pig Tom Mitchell. Pendles is also back in. Fort gets the main rucking gig for Lions this week with Oscar rested.

GAME 7: St Kilda Saints vs North Melbourne Kangaroos

Sunday, August 3, 1:40pm EST Marvel Stadium Melbourne ☁🏢

Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended selections at ~5pm on Friday. Jy Simpkin is out injured for the Roos. Bench cashcow Finnbar Maley has been dropped. Georgie Payne is a possible debut if he makes the extended bench selection. Wardlaw is back which could remould the Roos midfield.

GAME 8: Geelong Cats vs Port Adelaide Power

Sunday, August 3, 3:15pm EST GMHBA Stadium Geelong 🌥

Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended selections at ~5pm on Friday. Miles Bergman is unfortunately out injured if you have him. Liddy is back onto the extended bench. Jack Whitlock is a possible debut etc. I doubt anyone still has him but midprice option Knevitt is back in for the Cats. If you were concerned about Rozee he is named, but I’d make sure you have bench cover for him as his hand is still sore.

GAME 9: Fremantle vs Carlton

Sunday, August 3, 5:10pm EST Optus Stadium Perth 🌦🌡

Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended selections at ~5pm on Friday. Docherty has retired so you will need to trade if you have him. Unfortunately Adam Cerra is officially out injured. Blast from the past DT wise, Will Brodie is on the extended bench for Freo.

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.
