AFL Teams Round 11 2024

Collingwood is severely weakened for a Friday night test in the west, while Geelong regains its desperately-needed stars as Hawks and Bombers guns return. Round 11 teams!

There’s been a plethora of changes at the Pies, with Brody Mihocek headlining five ins for a blockbuster clash against Fremantle tomorrow night.

Beau McCreery and Charlie Dean also returns, while Wil Parker and Ed Allan were announced earlier in the week to make their debuts.

For the Dockers, ruck Sean Darcy comes back after a two-week stint on the sidelines with a calf complaint.

Minairo Frederick is out in concussion protocols, while Patrick Voss has been dropped for Corey Wagner.

At the Cattery, Jeremy Cameron will return for the Cats after a week off in concussion protocols, joined by veterans Tom Hawkins and Mitch Duncan – with Gary Rohan the biggest out through injury.

Young ruck Toby Conway has held his place in the team, holding out Rhys Stanley as the main tall on ball.

The Giants, much like the Cats, have also made four changes – James Peatling, Leek Aleer, Toby McMullin and Ryan Angwin will all play against the out-of-form Geelong.

Jack Buckley will miss through a calf complaint, while Drew Jones’ hamstring will see him on the sidelines for 6-8 weeks.

Jacob Wehr and Conor Stone have been dropped to round out the four changes.

Adam Saad will return for the Blues under the roof at Marvel, as well as Lachie Cowan and Lachie Fogarty.

Opening up a spot for them in the team are Corey Durdin (omitted), Marc Pitonnet (finger) and Caleb Marchbank (managed).

At the Gold Coast, there have again been four changes – with last week’s four managements in Jarrod Witts, Jed Walter, Nick Holman and Jake Rogers all recalled.

Three of the four inclusions last week have lost their spot, with David Swallow the only one of four to hold his spot.

Brayden Fiorini, Sam Day, Alex Davies and Ned Moyle are the four exclusions.

Hawthorn captain James Sicily is set to return from a shoulder injury, but star draftee Nick Watson has been managed for the Hawks.Jack Scrimshaw, Jack Gunston, Finn Maginness and Josh Ward have all been added to the extended bench.

Zac Bailey has been named to make his return from an ankle injury for the Lions, while former Hawk Brandon Ryan could make his club debut in place of the suspended Eric Hipwood.

Essendon defender Jordan Ridley will play his first game of 2024 after recovering from injury, as the Bombers hand star draftee Nate Caddy a Dreamtime debut. Nik Cox has also been recalled, while Elijah Tsatas and Dylan Shiel have been axed alongside the suspended Harrison Jones.

Liam Baker returns for the Tigers alongside Seth Campbell and Samson Ryan, with Tylar Young, Matt Coulthard and Rhyan Mansell make way.

The Dees are set to be bolstered by the returns of Ed Langdon and Jacob van Rooyen, while the likes of Lachie Hunter and Adam Tomlinson have also been named on the extended bench. Jake Lever will miss through injury and Ben Brown has been dropped.

Ross Lyon has dropped young gun Mattaes Phillipou recalling Liam Stocker, Ryan Byrnes, Jack Higgins and potentially Seb Ross for their clash against the Dees.

Jackson Archer is the sole in for the Kangaroos at Blundstone Arena on Sunday, replacing Miller Bergman for his hamstring injury.

At the Power, captain Connor Rozee and defender Lachie Jones will come back from their respective hamstring injuries, as well as ruck recruit Jordan Sweet.

Charlie Dixon has been managed, while Josh Sinn (collarbone) and Dante Visentini (omitted) also won’t play.

The Crows will be without Izak Rankine and Elliott Himmelberg on Sunday evening, with Harry Schoenberg, Sam Berry and Chris Burgess among the names who could replace them.

Elliot Yeo returns for the Eagles after spending some time on the sidelines with a groin niggle and Andrew Gaff has once again been named on the extended bench.

Sydney will be without defender Robbie Fox as expected for Thursday night, after he was subbed out of last Friday night’s dominant win over Carlton with a shoulder injury, and has been replaced by Matt Roberts, who was rested last week.

At the Bulldogs, Jason Johannisen remains on the sidelines, so they’ve made just one unforced change as utility Anthony Scott takes the place of defender Luke Cleary.

Ryley Sanders has at least been elevated to an emergency after missing the squad entirely last week, with his VFL dominance not enough to force his way into the midfield mix.
