2026 has seen the real ugly defeats disappear, with a 70-point margin against Leopold in Round 13 the Supersaints’ biggest loss of the year. The Swans, who sit third with an 11-4 win-loss record, have included Geelong VFL midfielder Paddy Kelly after an extended injury layoff and the experienced Kelly O’Neil. The Eagles, who will take a giant step towards the double chance with a second victory of the season over the Dragons, welcome back Ben Pennisi from Geelong VFL duty. They’ve been replaced by Geelong VFL star Tanner Lewis, Jay Kaltenbach, Duwahar Jock and debutant Archie Porter. Joeys welcome back Mal White from VFL club Port Melbourne and will debut under-18 graduate Max Diamond.
