The Smithy’s VFL teams for Round 5.
Max King will play his first game since Round 16, 2024 when St Kilda hosts the Gold Coast Suns at RSEA Park on Sunday.
The star forward has been sidelined by knee and, more recently, calf issues and makes his long-awaited return after 22 months on the sidelines.
King will be joined in the Saints’ line up by AFL-listed teammates Alix Tauru, Tobie Travaglia, Ryan Byrnes, Hugh Boxshall and James Barrat as they aim for back-to-back wins after downing Coburg last week.
Gold Coast Suns defender Charlie Ballard will play his first VFL game Suns as one of four additions, alongside AFL-listed teammate Joel Jeffrey. Jamarra Ugle-Hagan will make his Suns' AFL debut after booting five goals in last week's loss to Essendon.
GWS Giants have suffered a blow with James Bell sidelined indefinitely with a back issue. However, the Giants do regain Jake Riccardi and Toby McMullin to take on North Melbourne at Tom Wills Oval as they look to respond to last week's defeat to Sydney.
Fothergill-Round-Mitchell medallist Tom Blamires will play his first VFL game for the Roos after playing the opening six games of the season in the AFL team. He is joined in the line-up by Bailey Scott.
Fergus McFadyen and Zane Zakostelsky return for the Brisbane Lions’ home clash with Port Melbourne at Brighton Homes Arena, in place of promoted duo Conor McKenna and James Tunstill.
Port Melbourne gets back some key players as it looks to bounce back from a big loss to Box Hill, with Fraser Rosman, Josh Green and Archi Manton all named to make the trip north.
Sandringham regains in-form tall Daniel Pinter for its clash with the Box Hill Hawks at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday.
The Hawks have named Will McCabe following his AFL debut last week, although six AFL-listed players come out of the side which thrashed Port Melbourne last week.
Richmond's key position stocks have received a significant boost for its trip to Casey Fields to take on the Casey Demons on ANZAC Day.
Josh Gibcus and Liam Fawcett return, alongside Tyler Sonsie and Luke Trainor, however Zane Peucker and Kaleb Smith will miss through injury and young trio Sam Cumming, Tom Burton and Patrick Retschko have been promoted to the AFL team after impressive VFL form.
Jake Bowey has been named for Casey Demons in what will be the AFL premiership defender’s fist game since the final round of last year.
Geordie Payne returns from a calf complaint when Tasmania hosts Carlton in front of a sold-out Ninja Stadium on Saturday night. The former North Melbourne forward hasn't played since the Round 1 win over Coburg.
The Blues have made six changes to the side that downed Collingwood last week, however Wade Derksen is the only AFL-listed player among the inclusions, while three players have been promoted and both Camporeale brothers will miss with injury.
Williamstown skipper Finn O’Dwyer and Werribee premiership player Harry Grintell will both play their first game of the season when the Seagulls and Tigers clash under lights at DSV Stadium on Saturday night.
Frankston has lost Tomoya Owens to injury for its clash with Coburg under lights at Kinetic Stadium. The Lions have made three changes for the must-win contest, which includes losing the suspended Kyle Weightman.
2023 Norm Smith Medal winner Bobby Hill will play his first game of the 2026 season when Collingwood hosts Essendon at the KGM Centre on Friday.
The premiership forward last played in the Magpies’ AFL loss to the Brisbane Lions in Round 22 last year.
He is one of five changes for Collingwood, coming in alongside fellow AFL-listed teammates Ed Allan, Jai Saxena and Zac McCarthy.
The Bombers have named young forward Hussien El Achkar and emerging ruck Boston Dowling, who has attracted attention as an AFL Mid-Season Draft prospect after trialling for an SSP spot with Richmond over the summer.
He replaces injured ruck Nick Bryan, while promising midfielder Dyson Sharp has been promoted to the AFL team.
The Western Bulldogs’ AFL injury issues have had an impact on Footscray’s team for its VFL clash with Sydney at Mission Whitten Oval, with five players promoted, including Adam Treloar after picking up 41 disposals in the win over Geelong last week.
The Swans regain Corey Warner and Joel Hamling among five changes, with Billy Cootee and Will Edwards rewarded with their AFL debut after impressing in last week’s VFL win over the GWS Giants.
