AFL Round 2 teams: Full line-ups and the best SuperCoach advice

HAWTHORN has reacted savagely to last week’s capitulation against Essendon by dumping four players, but Luke Hodge returns as expected. SEE ALL THE TEAMS

HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson has reacted swiftly to his team’s opening-round loss to Essendon, making four changes for Saturday’s clash against Adelaide at the MCG.

The Hawks have dropped Taylor Duryea, Billy Hartung, James Sicily and Ryan Schoenmakers from the team that lost to the Bombers by 25 points last weekend. SCROLL DOWN TO SEE EVERY TEAM Former captain and four-time premiership star Luke Hodge has been injected back into the line-up along with Ryan Burton, Kade Stewart and debutant Teia Miles. WHO WILL WIN? HERALD SUN EXPERT TIPS FANTASY FUN: HOW YOU CAN STILL BE A SUPERCOACH Hodge missed the opening round after he was suspended by the team’s leadership group for not informing the club of his absence from a pre-season training session. Miles was a third-round draft selection at No.49 overall in the 2014 national draft. Adelaide welcomes back its captain Taylor Walker for the MCG clash after overcoming a hamstring injury sustained in the team’s final JLT series match, with Troy Menzel making way for the skipper. Melbourne named key duo Jesse Hogan and Max Gawn to face Carlton on Sunday after being cleared of serious injury. The pair pulled up sore after the Demons’ impressive round-one win over St Kilda, with Hogan on crutches. Gawn also sent a scare at training when he landed heavily on his wrist. But both have been named in an extended squad, as the club gun for two wins to open the season for the first time since 2005. AFL betting promo The Demons included Dom Tyson, Dean Kent, Jake Spencer, Ben Kennedy and James Harmes in their squad, with Bernie Vince (suspension) and Joel Smith (shoulder) out of the line-up. The Blues have added Nick Graham, Sam Kerridge and Harry McKay to their squad, with no outs as yet. St Kilda has made three changes for its clash against the West Coast Eagles in Perth on Saturday night. The Saints have included key forward Paddy McCartin, Blake Acres and veteran Leigh Montagna for the trip west. The trio replace injured stars Nick Riewoldt (knee) and David Armitage (groin), while Nathan Wright has been omitted from the team that lost to Melbourne in the opening round. The Eagles have brought in Thomas Barrass, Jonathan Giles and Dom Sheed to replace the injured Lewis Jetta (glute), Eric Mackenzie (soreness) and Drew Petrie (hand). Essendon has made just the one change to its winning team from round one, with Ben Howlett replacing the injured Josh Green (hamstring) for Saturday night’s match against the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. The Lions have brought in former Magpie Jack Frost for his first game at the club and dropped Ben Keays. Geelong has included Darcy Lang, Jed Bews, Sam Menegola and Zac Smith in its extended squad for Sunday’s clash against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium. Nakia Cockatoo (hand) is the only confirmed out at this stage. The Kangaroos have named Ben Cunnington, Aaron Mullett, Taylor Garner and Majak Daw in their squad, with Jarrad Waite (shoulder) out of the side. Injury-hit Sydney were forced to pick three debutants for Friday night’s Grand Final rematch against the Western Bulldogs. Nic Newman, Will Hayward and Robbie Fox will face a baptism of fire when they take on the defending premiers at Etihad Stadium. RICHMOND v COLLINGWOOD MCG, Thursday 7.20pm (EDT) TIGERS B: A.
