The Smithy’s VFL teams for Round 16.

Max Ramsden, Ned Reeves and Ethan Stanley return for the Box Hill Hawks as the ladder-leaders host Essendon at Box Hill City Oval for the first time since 2018.

Calsher Dear and Finn Maginness have earned a recall to the AFL team, while Kye Declase has been managed.

The Bombers have named Archie Perkins and Dylan Shiel among six inclusions, with Oskar Smartt named for his AFL debut and Elijah Tsatas promoted after averaging 34 disposals across seven VFL matches this season.

Richmond has made nine changes for its top-six clash with Southport at Kinetic Stadium.

Key defenders Noah Balta and Jacob Blight have been named in a big boost to the Tigers backline, while debutant Taj Hotton, Jayden Short, Tylar Young, Jacob Koschitzke and James Trezise have been called up to the AFL team.

Wade Derksen and Jack Ough will miss the GWS Giants’ match against Geelong at ENGIE Stadium through injury, although Max Gruzewski returns after playing in the AFL team's win over the West Coast Eagles last week.

The Cats lose Mitch Duncan, Oli Wiltshire and Lennox Hoffmann to injury following last week's fadeout loss to Richmond, with Jhye Clark among four inclusions.

Former Hawthorn and Geelong utility Emerson Jeka will play his first game for Werribee when the Tigers take on Casey Demons in the Saturday night Seven Network broadcast game at Mission Whitten Oval.

The Demons made six changes, which includes the return of Jack Billings, Blake Howes, Harry Sharp and Jed Adams.

On the back of last week's breakthrough win, the Northern Bullants have handed a senior debut to talented Northern Knights tall Gabe Stumpf for Sunday's clash with Williamstown at Genis Steel Oval.

The Seagulls regain star ruckman Tom Downie after he was a late exclusion from last week's win over Port Melbourne, although Blake Coleman will be sidelined with a quad injury and Jake Greiser has been managed.

Sandringham has included St Kilda talls Zaine Cordy and Isaac Keeler, along with speedster Darcy Wilson for Sunday's match against the Sydney Swans at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval.

Blake Acres will play his first VFL games in seven years when Carlton hosts the Brisbane Lions at IKON Park on Friday afternoon.

The 182-game AFL winger last played in the VFL in 2018 when representing Sandringham while on St Kilda’s list. He headlines four inclusions for the in-form Blues’ VFL team, with Francis Evans and Hudson O’Keefe also among the inclusions.

Brisbane has named a stacked side as it looks to respond to last week’s defeat to Southport. Keidean Coleman will make his comeback from a quad injury, while Tom Doedee, Ty Gallop, Henry Smith and Fergus McFadyen will add plenty of bulk.

Collingwood forward Ash Johnson will play his first game of the 2025 season when the Magpies take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

Johnson suffered a fractured fibula in a pre-season match and makes his long-awaited return alongside young midfielder Ed Allan, who will play his first VFL game since Round 5 having played 10 AFL games this season.

Gold Coast regains star ruck Ned Moyle, Alex Sexton and Caleb Lewis, along with Tom Berry who will play his first game since the Round 2 defeat to Casey Demons following a knee injury.

Frankston will be without Trent Mynott when it hosts Port Melbourne under lights at Kinetic Stadium, with the Dolphins skipper sidelined by a hand injury.

Port Melbourne’s newest signing Roy George will play his first game for the Borough after crossing from the Casey Demons last week, while James Van Es also returns but Anthony Anastasio is unavailable.

Selected teams for Werribee vs Casey Demons and Sandringham vs Southport Sharks will be published at 5pm.
