The Smithy’s VFL teams for Round 15.

Ladder-leader Geelong will field a team with 17 AFL-listed players for its trip to Kinetic Stadium to take on Frankston on Friday night.

Prolific midfielders George Stevens and Jack Bowes return to the Cats’ line-up following stints in the AFL team. They’re joined by premiership trio Rhys Stanley, Brad Close and Jed Bews.

Bailey Lambert returns for Frankston for his first game since the Round 10 win in Brisbane.

Collingwood speedster Will Hayes and defender Noah Howes both return from shoulder injuries for the Magpies' clash with the Brisbane Lions at Barry Plant Park.

The Lions are also working towards getting back to full strength after an injury-riddled campaign, with first-round draftee Daniel Annable to play his first game of the season following shoulder surgery, while Keidean Coleman and Tai Hayes also return.

Former Gold Coast Suns captain Jarrod Witts will play his second VFL game of the season when the Suns host the Sydney Swans at People First Stadium.

The Swans have six players promoted to the AFL team following last week's thumping win over Sandringham. Riley Bice and Malcolm Rosas are among the inclusions at VFL level.

Werribee premiership defender Bior Malual makes an unexpected return for the Tigers' clash with new-formed rival Southport at Melbourne Avalon Airport Oval.

Malual had called time on his VFL career at the conclusion of last season but makes a welcome comeback. He's joined in the second-placed side by Jay Dahlhaus, who plays his first game since Round 6.

Southport key defender Matt McGuinness has been included for his sixth game of the season, while Rhys King is suspended and Max Spencer unwell.

Former Collingwood ruck Aiden Begg will play his first game for Tasmania when the Devils host the Box Hill Hawks at Penguin's Dial Park.

Begg signed with the Devils last month following Max Mapley's selection in the AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft. He's one of four inclusions this week, with Brad Cox-Goodyear and Kai Cameron also recalled.

Calsher Dear will play for the Hawks, who have had Matt Hill, Noah Mraz and Will McCabe added to the AFL team, while Sam Butler is injured.

Richmond welcomes back Judson Clarke for its clash against Carlton at IKON Park. The winger is on the comeback trail from a second ACL injury, which was sustained during last year's Round 11 win over Sydney.

Carlton will be bolstered by the return of Zac Williams, Blake Acres and Ben Camporeale.

Father-son prospect Levi West will make his VFL debut for Footscray when the Bulldogs take on local rival Williamstown at DSV Stadium.

The 17-year-old Calder Cannons product is the son of seven-time club champion Scott and will line up alongside brother Rhylee West in his first game in the red, white and blue.

Oskar Baker and Wil Darcy have also been brought into the Bulldogs' team as they aim to keep their premiership defence alive after a poor start.

Third-placed GWS Giants' stocks have taken a hit for their match in Narrandera, with the Giants forced to make eight changes following last week's outstanding win over the Box Hill Hawks.

Riley Hamilton and Jack Ough have earned AFL debuts, with Joey Delana and Harry Rowston also promoted. Meanwhile, in-form skipper Ryan Hebron is sidelined with an elbow injury.

The Lions regain on-form midfielder Max Kennedy after missing the Round 13 win over Port Melbourne. Kennedy has averaged 24 disposals across 10 matches this year.

Jake Melksham, Tom McDonald, Luker Kentfield and Paddy Cross all return for the Casey Demons for the crunch game against Port Melbourne at Casey Fields.

Making matters tougher for the Borough is the loss of Tom Highmore and Charlie Clarke to short-term injuries.

Essendon and St Kilda have both made six changes for their clash at Windy Hill on Sunday.

The Bombers have included Harrison Jones, Lachie Blakiston, Liam McMahon and Hussein El Achkar, but will be without promoted duo Nik Cox and Max Kondogiannis, along with hamstrung pair Tom Edwards and Jaxon Artemis.

The Saints have bolstered their key posts with Dougal Howard, Alex Dodson and Ethan Phillips all added, along with Hunter Clark, Paddy Dow and Dan Butler.
