An Adelaide spearhead has been withdrawn from the side to play North Melbourne on Saturday.
Earlier, Sydney regained a star duo against a youthful Collingwood outfit. Plus, another brutal setback to a Dockers superstar, big blows to Hawthorn, and Carlton unleashes a debutant. See the sides for Round 10 below!

Riley Thilthorpe won’t play against the Kangaroos due to injury, the club confirmed on Friday.
Thilthorpe was absent from the Crows’ captain’s run at Adelaide Oval as he continues to battle a grumbly back. The dominant key forward also missed the club’s main training session.
While Adelaide has opted not to disclose Thilthorpe’s replacement until an hour before tomorrow’s match, Foxfooty.com.au’s Will Faulkner reports Luke Nankervis will be named in his place.
Nankervis was preferred to swingman Nick Murray, who was named an emergency for the fixture after he was dropped following Adelaide’s Round 9 win over Richmond.
It comes as fellow key target Darcy Fogarty re-enters the frame this week following a back disc issue.
Adelaide clash misses out on Friday spot | 02:16
The Sydney Swans are welcoming back a couple of stars for their Friday night blockbuster with Collingwood.
Charlie Curnow and Tom McCartin are joined by Jai Serong for the SCG clash. Dane Rampe (managed) comes out of the side as does Matt Roberts (injured) and Hayden McLean (omitted).
The Pies meantime have confirmed Scott Pendlebury’s omission as part of his load management ahead of his record-breaking game next weekend.
He’s joined by injured trio Darcy Moore, Pat Lipinski and Darcy Cameron on the sidelines as Will Parker, Ed Allan, Charlie West and Will Hayes get the call-up.
In the other Friday night clash, Matt Rowell is back in positive news for the Gold Coast Suns in Darwin.
Ben Long and Ethan Read miss through injury while Alex Davies (managed) and Ben Jepson (omitted) also make way.
Opponents Port Adelaide welcome back Esava Ratugolea as one of three inclusions. Miles Bergman and Josh Lai have been ruled out with injury. Jacob Wehr has been dropped.
In the Saturday games, Crows defender Jordon Butts is back for the clash with North Melbourne alongside Darcy Fogarty.
The Roos will go in unchanged off the back of their loss to Sydney.
Melbourne have named Daniel Turner and Trent Rivers to take on Hawthorn at the MCG while the Hawks are still counting the cost of their unsuccessful Perth trip – ruling out injured trio Tom Barrass, Conor Nash and Jack Gunston.
Carlton have made one change for their first match without coach Michael Voss, who quit earlier this week.
Jack Ison comes in for the injured Adam Saad.
The Dogs meantime lose Tim English again through injury but welcome back Rory Lobb as one of three changes.
‘Are we clear?!’ – Dimma goes OFF | 01:37
In the Sunday matches, Essendon have recalled Jye Caldwell while quartet Elijah Tsatas, Jade Gresham, Will Setterfield and Ben McKay have been named on an extended bench.
Opponents Fremantle made the trip east without injured trio skipper Alex Pearce, Hayden Young and Corey Wagner.
Reports of a concussion setback to Young is a particularly big blow to the Dockers and continues the star midfielder’s frustrating injury run.
St Kilda have named Jack Higgins to return as one of three inclusions as rivals Richmond rule out injured duo Tom Brown and Kane McAuliffe.
In the final match of the round, the Eagles have given prized draftee Cooper Duff-Tytler his first break in 2026 as part of a management plan.
GWS are yet to announce any outs – with Callum Brown, Ryan Angwin and Harrison Oliver all coming onto an extended bench for the clash at Optus Stadium.
It was earlier confirmed the Cats have welcomed back Gryan Miers, Mark Blicavs and Jack Henry among four changes for Thursday night’s blockbuster grand final rematch against Brisbane.
Young ruckman Mitch Edwards also returns for the Cats, who have managed Rhys Stanley, Jake Kolodjashnij, James Worpel and Jack Bowes for the Gabba clash.
Meanwhile the Lions welcome back 2025 premiership duo Sam Marshall and Darcy Gardiner in place of Lincoln McCarthy (injured) and Darragh Joyce (omitted).
Chris Scott’s side will be eyeing revenge after a 47-point loss in last year’s decider in the first match of Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
