Hi All,

Teams are in for Round 19 and the pressure is on for some teams as we reach the cut throat Final Round of the home and away season!

Here are the Round 19 Teams:

Essendon v Sydney

The Bombers have regained their Half Back attacking weapon in Irish man Mckenna who is becoming an important player for them.
Speaking of important their leading Goal kicker Jake Stringer is also back to boost the Forward Line and it is a timely return with the injury to Mckernan.
Former number 6 Draft Pick Aaron Francis will finally play his first game of the year after solid VFL form after returning from his Personal leave.
Joining Forward Mckernan on the sidelines this week are Colyer & Mcneice who have both been omitted.

The Swan were unusually awful last week at home to the Suns and changes were always going to be on the agenda.
Surprisingly Longmire is going to back his group in for the most part with only 2 changes.
Marsh & Cameron have been omitted while Grundy is back along with youngster Jordan Dawson who has been dominant in the NEAFL for a long time.

Richmond v Collingwood

What a huge game this one is with a sell out MCG crowd expected.
With both teams flying in the Top 4 this could be an early Finals, maybe even Grand Final Preview.
What a stage for 2017 Rookie Draft Pick Liam Baker to make his debut.
Baker will be joined by Forward Townsend while Moore and Menudue will make way.

The Pies have suffered a huge loss with De Goey ruled out with a leg injury.
With Elliott not yet match fit to replace him this will leave a hole up Forward for the Pies.
They may choose to fill that hole with returning former Key Forward now Key Defender Darcy Moore.
The Tigers Forward line is not overly tall so could be a good opportunity for Moore to return to the Forward Line.
Also out injured is youngster Sier who will be replaced by Brown.

Geelong v Brisbane Lions

Danger game for the Cats but only the one change after that remarkable come from behind victory last week.
Jones has been omitted and will be replaced by fellow first year player Lachie Fogarty.

The Lions have 2 huge ins with Harris Andrews recovered from that brutal concussion and Luke Hodge also back to marshall the Defence.
Cutler is out suspended and Cedric Cox has been omitted.

GWS Giants v St Kilda

The Giants are flying at the moment and eyeing off a Top 4 spot after their win over Port last week.
Just the one change for them with impressive young Key Defender Sam Taylor back from injury and he will replace O'Keefe

The Saints have made a whopping 4 changes and a very surprise omission amongst them.
Armitage had been flying since returning to the side and was arguably looking back to near his best.
His clearance work and movement seemed back but he was maybe a tad quieter last week.
Richardson has certainly showed a ruthless streak by immediately dropping him and this one seems little cut off the nose to spite the face ish.
Rice can also consider himself unlucky to be dropped however Ed Phillips had it coming while impressive youngster Hunter Clark is out as managed.
A couple of big ins for the Saints with the return of Midfielder Blake Acres and Key Defender Nathan Brown.
Jack Lonie and young gun Coffield also return to the side.

Adelaide v Melbourne

This one is of huge importance to both these sides.
A loss for the Crows would be a mortal blow while a loss for the Demons would suddenly put their own Finals spot in jeopardy.
The Crows have suffered a big loss in Defence with Doedee ruled out with concussion.
Crows fans so have a big in with Skipper Tex Walker returning from suspension.

The Demons were stiff to lose last week but sometimes teams can create their own bad luck and Melbourne really should of killed that game last week.
No change for the Demons this week but there is some doubt over Harmes who has a broken bone in his hand but will apparently play through the pain! Expect to see him kick the ball a lot more this week then as opposed to handball so great for us Fantasy players that have him!

Gold Coast Suns v Carlton

A great opportunity to win two in a row for the Suns here after that sensational performance at the SCG last week.
The Suns will be even stronger with 3 pretty big ins.
Swallow and Fiorini return to strengthen the on ball division while former high draft pick Jack Bowes is also back.
Ballard, Ah Chee and Crossley all make way for them.

The Blues can pretty much seal the number 1 Draft Pick this week with a loss to the Suns and their cause has been helped by the loss of Key Defender Liam Jones and young gun Zak Fisher.
Casboult, Matt Shaw & Graham have all been dropped and hopefully for Blues fans their omissions are permanent.
In comes Dale Thomas, Byrne, Darcy Lang, Rowe and Jed Lamb.

North Melbourne v West Coast

Into the Sunday games and a game of huge importance for the Kangaroos Finals aspirations here in Tassie.
Only the one out so far with Morgan injured.
Kangas 2nd round pick in last years Draft, Will Walker could be in line to debut.
Mckay, Mason Wood, Larkey and Murphy are the others named on the extended interchange.

Speedster Lewis Jetta is out injured for the Eagles.
He could be replaced by fellow speedster Petruccelle who is named on the extended interchange along with Nelson, Ah Chee and Waterman.
Once player that will definitely play is impressive Key Defender Tom Barrass who has returned from injury and sharpened up in the WAFL last week.

Fremantle v Hawthorn

No outs for Freo as yet.
Still no Sandilands back but Darcy has recovered form Injury and take up the number 1 Ruck mantle.
Stephen Hill is also back while Ballantyne and number 2 pick A Brayshaw have been named on the extended interchange.

A must win match for Hawthorn if they are to hold onto their tentative grip on 8th spot.
Their cause will be helped by the return of important players Jaeger O'Meara and Shaun Burgoyne.
Duryea, Mitch Lewis and Connor Nash are named on the extended interchange.
The only confirmed out so far is Daniel Howe with that whopping 5 week suspension.

Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide

The last game of the round see's Port Adelaide who are not %100 safe in the 8 themselves desperately needing a win here.
Their cause has been helped by some Western Bulldogs injuries.
Dalhaus, Tom Boyd and revelation Gowers are all out injured.
The Bont is back which is some relief while the other replacements will come from Biggs, Young, Fletcher Roberts, Lipinski or debutants Fergus Greene & Callum Porter.

The Power have 2 very important players back this week in Ryder and Key Defender Tom Jonas.
They are a better team with those two in and Motlop back from illness will help also.
Frampton, Farrell, Aiden Johnson and attacking Half Back Flanker Riley Bonner are named one the extended bench.

I hope the Ins and Outs have been good to you all and best of luck for the Final Round of the year!
