AFL Teams Round 14: Giants guns, Tigers beast back; Saints’ painful outs as Port spearhead axed

Must read

Port Adelaide has made a shock axing at selection, while a superstar Richmond pair and dynamic Dogs duo will return.

The Power have dropped veteran forward Charlie Dixon for their crunch clash with GWS, just three weeks after listing him out as ‘managed’, with six included in Port’s squad.

Jeremy Finlayson has also been axed, while Josh Kelly (calf) and Jack Buckley are in the frame to return for GWS this Sunday.

For Richmond, 299-gamer Dustin Martin (managed) and Tom Lynch (hamstring) will return on Saturday.

Lynch returns after missing nine games, having last played in the Tigers’ Round 3 win against Sydney. It comes at the expense of Dion Prestia (calf), who remains luckless with soft-tissue injuries.

Nick Watson has been recalled for the Hawks after eight goals in a fortnight for Box Hill in the VFL, joining ruckman Lloyd Meek as Sam Mitchell’s inclusions.

Brisbane, coming off a stirring win against the Western Bulldogs, will go into its Friday night clash with St Kilda unchanged.

The Saints have excluded Dougal Howard (hamstring) and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (personal reason) among four changes for their trip to The Gabba.

The Western Bulldogs have welcomed back Ed Richards (concussion protocols) and Cody Weightman (arm), while Marcus Bontempelli (illness) has been named despite some doubt.

Taylor Walker (back) will miss Adelaide’s Saturday night home meeting with leader-leading Sydney, with the Crows axing an underperforming trio.

Meanwhile, the Swans are unchanged for their South Australia trip.

Colby McKercher remains absent for the Kangaroos, while Nick Daicos (shin) has been named by Craig McRae despite being subbed out on King’s Birthday.

The teams for Sunday’s games will be finalised at 5pm AEST on Friday.
