Saturday August 15 – Gabba, Brisbane

Notes: The Q Clash. The only notable change is Zeke Uwland being dropped. Bailey Addinsall could be a downgrade target, although there isn’t as much need for playing rookies at this stage of the season who aren’t $230k.

GAME 5: Hawthorn vs Collingwood

Saturday August 15 – MCG, Melbourne 🌙

GAME 8: Western Bulldogs vs Carlton

Sunday August 16 – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne 🏢

Notes: Make sure you check Sunday extended bench selections at approximately 5pm on Friday. The huge out here is Marcus Bontempelli, who has been managed, while Tim English is out injured again. Jack Ison is on Carlton’s extended bench, which is particularly relevant if you’re using him as a loop. Ryley Sanders could be a sneaky forward option, named on ball in Bont’s absence.
