ASPLEY has received a welcome boost for its clash with Gold Coast at Graham Road with club great Reece Toye named to play his first game of the season.

Toye, 32, who has played more than 200 matches for the Hornets including 142 in the NEAFL, hasn’t played this season due to a hand injury but has been named at half-forward as his team aims to break a six-match losing streak against the rejuvenated Suns.

Aspley also has Brad Dale and Jono Giles returning among six changes from the team that nearly upset the Brisbane Lions, but Jono Freeman (hamstring), James Ives (knee) and Liam Dawson (hamstring) will all miss.

YOUR CLUB'S B & F LEADER Who's looking good so far this season?

The Suns have been boosted by top draft pick Elijah Hollands being selected to make his VFL debut, while Josh Corbett, Jy Farrer, Mal Rosas, Caleb Graham and Jy Farrar have all been included, with Sam Day being recalled by the AFL team.

Werribee named a pretty handy replacement for drafted utility Kye Declase, with skipper Michael Sodomaco returning after the birth of his daughter for the Tigers’ stoush with GWS Giants at Avalon Airport Oval.

The Giants made five changes, losing Phil Davis and Kieren Briggs to the AFL team, plus Jacob Wehr, Josh Green and Tom Hutchesson, with Cam Fleeton, Xavier O’Halloran and Jake Stein among the inclusions.

Port Melbourne has been boosted by the inclusions of Mitch Wooffindin, Nash Holmes, Josh Hotchkin and Jake Gasper from injury after four weeks off, but the curse continues with Mackenzie Bristow (knee), Angus Hanrahan (shin) to miss its clash with Carlton and Harry Minton-Connell (back) gone for the season.

The Blues have named a powerful line-up after wielding the axe at AFL level, with Marc Murphy, Levi Casboult and Matt Cottrell all included alongside in-form backman Stefan Radovanovic, co-skipper Riley Stoddart, Corey Durdin, Toby Wooller and Footscray draftee Jordan Boyd.

Matt Kennedy and Luke Parks have been promoted to the AFL, while co-captain Matt Shannon was among seven players dropped.

Ben Jepson and Nathan Howard will make their VFL debuts for Coburg against North Melbourne at Arden St alongside Josh Guthrie, replacing Corey Ellis (ankle), Ryan Sturgess (hamstring) and Athan Tsialtas.

The Kangaroos will be without Tasmanian talent Harrison Gunther, Connor Kilpatrick and Jye Menzie due to border closures, but they have been able to name X-factor Kyron Hayden and ruckman Tom Campbell for their first games of the season, while Charlie Lazzaro and mid-season draftee Charlie Ham will debut and Connor Menadue and Tyler Roos also come in.

Co-captain Andrew Boston returns for Southport’s NEAFL Grand Final rematch with the Brisbane Lions, but the Sharks will be without Fraser Thurlow (quad) for a month and Lukas Webb (ankle).

The Lions will be significantly weakened by the loss to Rhys Mathieson, James Maddern, Tom Fullarton and Thomas Berry to the AFL team, but mid-season pick Kalin Lane will play his first game.

Williamstown has been boosted by the returns of ruckman Tom Downie (back), Nick Mellington and Billy Myers to face Richmond in the VFL Grand Final rematch, with the Seagulls having the luxury of naming Jaylon Thorpe, Josh Pickess and Nick Sing as emergencies.

ALL THE YOUNG DUDES The best Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal chances

The Tigers have selected a powerful team, with Marlion Pickett and Dan Rioli selected after playing in Perth last Sunday, Hugo Ralphsmith returning after being the sub, Mate Colina and mid-season draftee Matt Parker to debut, and Ryan Garthwaite, Jack Ross, Riley Collier-Dawkins, Patrick Naish, and Rhyan Mansell also in.

Josh Caddy, Mabior Chol and Callum Coleman-Jones have been promoted since Richmond’s last game, while Sam Durham was drafted by Essendon.

The Bombers and Box Hill Hawks have named squads of 30-plus for their clash at Windy Hill on Sunday morning.
