The Smithy’s VFL teams for Round 11.
Collingwood will be bolstered by the inclusion of Ned Long, Charlie West and Wil Parker as it looks to end a long run of outs when it takes on Casey Demons in a game that will now be played at Casey Fields, although Jack Buller and debutants Mitch Podhajski and Sam Swadling look set to play in the King's Birthday AFL clash with Melbourne.
The Demons regain Jack Henderson and Matthew Jefferson, while Luker Kentfield has been named for his AFL debut for Melbourne.
The Gold Coast Suns have named arguably their best side of the year for the Q Clash with Brisbane Lions, with the two sides currently occupying the bottom two places on the ladder.
Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, Zeke Uwland, Jake Rogers, Nick Holman and Sam Clohesy all come into the Suns' team, while the Lions have been forced to named five Academy players among their eight inclusions due to injuries. One of those is Cooper Hodge, son of AFL champion Luke, who also appeared at VFL level for the Lions in 2025.
Tasmania has recalled veteran forward Sam Siggins for its clash with North Melbourne at North Hobart Oval after he missed his first game of the season in last week's thrilling defeat to Port Melbourne.
The Kangaroos have included Mid-Season Draft selection Ollie Griffin and Category B Rookie Lachie Brewer for their first games for the club as part of six changes, with Zac Banch and James Tarrant also among the ins.
Brad Close will feature at VFL level for the second time this season when Geelong makes the trip to Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval to take on Sandringham. The ladder-leader also regains Jay Polkinghorne to offset the return of Jack Bowes and Oli Wiltshire to the AFL team.
Mid-season draftee Max Beattie will wear the brown and gold for the first time when the Box Hill Hawks host Footscray at Box Hill City Oval. The Bulldogs have made four changes to the team that broke a four-game losing streak last week, including Lachie Jaques, Lachie Smith, Jedd Busslinger and Luke Cleary.
Southport Sharks regain Ryan Burton, Jezz Butler, Sam Lowson and Brock Aston for their trip to Kinetic Stadium to play Frankston, although star playmaker Boyd Woodcock will be sidelined for the remainder of the season with a knee injury sustained in the Round 9 win over Port Melbourne.
Another father-son prospect will take to the field for their father's club on Sunday, when James O'Loughlin, son of premiership star Michael, makes his senior debut for the Sydney Swans against St Kilda at Tramway Oval.
Peter Ladhams and Harry Cunningham also return to VFL level for the Swans, while the Saints have included six AFL-listed players among eight changes to the side that upset Box Hill last week.
Jordan Ridley returns to the field when Essendon hosts Carlton at Windy Hill. The Crichton Medal winner is joined in the Bombers line-up by Tom Edwards and Jayden Nguyen, while Hussien El Achkar and Harrison Jones have been promoted.
Tom Highmore will play his first game since Round 4 when Port Melbourne takes on old foe Williamstown at ETU Stadium. The Seagulls have named new signings in two-time Richmond best and fairest Lachy Wilson and ex Dolphin Ryan Jacobs, as well as returning Jack Toner and Toby Triffett.
