AFL Teams – Round 13, 2012 – Goodes Ins and Brads Outs

I think most fans would agree with me that they are waiting for Round 14 and the best out of the year, being Out: Byes! But we have the last bye of the year but there are some great matches! Starting on Friday night with the Swans v Cats match and perhaps the potential biggest inclusion of the round is the return of Adam Goodes to the Swans line-up. He has missed five games already and would be a handy in for the match against the Cats. Another nice in will be Benny McGlynn who has served his suspension. Tony Armstrong and Andrejs Everitt would be the most likely to make way.

For the Cats, jPod (James Podsiadly) and Allen Christensen are among the players that could potientally return to the side. There is also talk that Dawson Simpson could get a call up to strength up the Pussies ruck stocks. If Simpson comes in, you would think that Orren Stephenson could be back to the VFL. Matty Stokes will be an out for the Cats.

The Other big match-up is the Saturday twilight game between top four teams in league leaders the Eagles and the Pies. West Coast will welcome back at least Beau Waters from suspension but will lose Will Schofield to a hammy injury. There is also some talk that Adam Selwood won’t play either. The Pies on the other hand will be strength by the return of Heath Shaw and Alan Toovey from injuries. Ben Reid could also strengthen their defence. They will lose Alan Didak to the abbuctor injury he suffered with his first kick in the Queens Birthday game. It seems that they will have to wait another week or two to get gun midfielder, Scott Pendlebury back from his cracked leg.

In other possible team news:

• Simon Black is a big chance to strength the Lions midfield. At the other end of the age/experience scale, number 12 pick, Sam Docherty could be close to making his debut for the Lions
• Bombers will try to bounce back from the Swans loss before the bye but will do so with out Alwyn Davey after he was Suspended. Micheal Hibberd and Kyle Reimers played well against the Box Hill Hawks in the VFL and could be in the Mix to return. David Hille is doing nothing wrong at VFL level but will need either an injury to the teams main rucks or a change of heart on playing 3 of them.
• Fremantle could have a few changes with Sandilands, Dawson and Ballantyne (Suspended) likely to miss. Stephen Hill is also in doubt. Zac Clarke is likely to return to the side and given the chance to ruck and Kepler Bradley come in to play key back.
• The Giants are likely to make a host of changes but your guess on who will lose the team selection lotto is as good as mine! Having said that, you couldn’t see either top pick, Jonathon Patton missing the chance to have a run around the place where the big finals are played. Another guy who other weeks might be in the gun that you could see going out is James McDonald who comes up against the side that dumped him! Sheeds even suggested that he could make him skipper!
• Melbourne lose Brad Greene (injury) and Luke Tapscott (suspension). Rohan Bail who might replace one of them also faces a fitness test as does Clint Bartram. Aaron Davey could get a call up as might Stef Martin, James Strauss and Jordan Gysberts. A lot of Fantasy coaches would love to see VFL star, Tom Couch, get a chance too!
• The Bulldogs have lost Will Minson after his indisgresion last weekend. They have already upgraded Tom Campbell from the Rookie list (by putting Morris on the Long Term Injury list) and he is likely to get a shot this week!

Don’t forget to return over the rest of the weekend to get all the AFL team news as it is made available!

UPDATE:

• Don’t forget to checkout the latest version of the AFL DreamTeam and SuperCoach podcast, The CoachesBox for this week.

• Thur 6:35pm: Teams are in
• Fri 5:54pm: Sunday teams have been updated
• Fri 6:25pm: No late changes for the Friday night teams. Christensen is the sub for the Cats and Andrejs Everitt is the Sub for the Swans
• Sat 12:40pm: No Late changes in the Lions v Bulldogs game. Clay Smith is the sub for the Bulldogs and Joshua Green, the SuperSub is the Sub for the Lions.
• Sat 4:20pm: Chris Tarrant is out of today’s game replaced by Tom Young who comes in as the sub. The Eagles have counted with a Tom of their own with Tom Shift as their sub.
• Sat 7:13pm: No Late changes for the Saturday night match. Freo have gone with Jayden Pitt as their sub and the Bombers have gone with Nathan Lovett-Murray.
• Sun 2:15pm: Melbourne have lost Rohan Bail has been replaced in the Melbourne side by Sam Blease and he is their sub. The GWS have made vetern, Luke Power the sub in an interesting move that could be very interesting if they can be close near the end of the 3rd Quarter/Early 4th Quarter.
