There is plenty of backline carnage to deal with this week. Along with the already injured Nic Newman, both Wayne Milera (injury) and Dayne Zorko (managed) will also miss. The good news is Rowan Marshall returns after missing last week, while Finn Callaghan has been ruled out through injury. Ruck/forward rookie Aiden Schubert will make his AFL debut for Hawthorn.
Notes: Sorry this one is a little late, but there are no major DT-relevant changes here anyway. Despite illness concerns during the week, Jordan De Goey has been named. Cloudy conditions are forecast for tonight’s match.

Notes:Nic Newman is sidelined with injury for at least a couple of weeks (currently listed as TBC), while Dayne Zorko has been managed, creating more headaches for DT coaches trying to patch up their backlines. It will be cold and mostly clear outside, but conditions inside Marvel Stadium will not be a factor.

GAME 8: Gold Coast SUNS vs Melbourne
Sunday August 2 – People First Stadium, Gold Coast 🌦
Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended bench selections at approximately 5pm on Friday. Max Heath has been named, but hopefully only as the emergency for Max Gawn owners. Christian Salem returns after a long injury layoff. With several players returning, there is some concern that Xavier Fitzgerald could miss the final team from the extended bench. Cash cow Lukas Cooke has been dropped. There is a medium chance of showers, with southerly to southeasterly winds expected to ease during the afternoon.

Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended bench selections at approximately 5pm on Friday. As reported earlier in the week, Wayne Milera is a big out through injury. Cash cow Hugh Robey has been dropped for Essendon and, after peaking in value, is well and truly ready to be cashed in if you still own him. Sam Berry is also sidelined through injury, while there are a couple of potential AFL debuts to keep an eye on when the extended benches are trimmed. Sunny conditions are forecast, with only a slight chance of an evening shower outside Marvel Stadium.
