In: Brown Out: Hibberd Petty to play more permanently down back.

I said last week that he's been our worst performer this year and I still stand by that he's clearly more the natural defender and with Hibberd's injury he can just take over that spot. A fit Hiberd and a fit Brown I don't think he gets a game. I'd love to see him go back and defend having both May and Lever there will help him out a lot. If Brown is fit I'd prefer to see him, Roo and TMac play the key post.

Sparrow very lucky to be in the team. Jordon very stiff.

Only got 4 this week.

He was pantsed by Ryan. He would have been pantsed by Naughton if he kicked straight. He got pantsed by the worst footballer in the league Daniher. He was ordinary up forward didn't do any better than what McDonald would have done. He's been our worst performer by a mile this year. Tomlinson's form has been better and he's in the reserves.

Roo will be the second ruck. I don't see why we need him? He's no longer needed down back and he ain't a forward. Rather see a running half back in Howes get a run.

He was ordinary. He's been ordinary all year even in the practice games.

JJ won't be dropped it will be either Sparrow, Hibberd and\or Petty.

After watching the VFL replay I wonder if Howes will debut. been in good form I'd have him replacing Petty as the 7th backman. If McDonald can be dropped after 2 ordinary games Petty could be dropped after 3 ordinary games.

You're forgetting Lever he plays on Darling.

My possible line ups B: McVee, May, Bowey HB: Brayshaw, Lever, Rivers C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Grundy, Viney, Pickett IC: Petty, Jordon, Sparrow, Chandler SUB: Melksham EMERG: Hibberd, Laurie, Dunstan Petty forward and back if needed. Hibberd the emergency. Casey B: Adams, Tomlinson, D.Smith HB: Buntine, D.Turner, K.Turner C: Howes, Dunstan, Sheperd HF: J.Smith, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield F: Sestan, Schache, Jefferson FOLL: Bell, Laurie, Munro IC: Grey, Baldi, Steele, Gregory, Cross Emerg: Burgoyne, Sheridan, McRae I'm not sure how long Joel is out for so I put him in the team.

In : Kossie Out : Hibberd

He's got another year on his contract.

I think the team will be like this B: D.Smith, Tomlinson, Adams HB: K.Turner, D.Turner, Buntine C: Howes, Dunstan, Shepherd HF: Moniz-Wakefield, McDonald, Grey F: Sestan, Jefferson, Steele FOLL: Bell, Laurie, Munro IC: Valentine, Gregory, Baldi, Goonan, Cross I think Melksham may stay as the sub to get him to 100 games. Joel can't take a trick.

Give it everything Roo Boy

Forgot him

Some names to consider with our first 4 draft picks

B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Bowey, Petty, Rivers C: Hunter, Brayshaw, Langdon HF: Petracca, McDonald, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo FOLL: Grundy, Oliver, Viney IC: Hibberd, Laurie, Sparrow, Chandler SUB: Jordon I think it will be wise to play an extra midfielder against the Swans considering our midfield woes last week. McDonald and van Rooyen aren't ruckmen so they will lose the tap outs anyway. Reserves B: Adams, Tomlinson, D.Smith HB: K.Turner, D.Turner, Buntine C: Howes, Dunstan, Sheppard HF: Moniz-Wakefield, van Rooyen, Melksham F: Sestan, Jefferson, Grey FOLL: Bell, Harmes, Munro IC: Gregory, Valentine, Steele, Burgoyne, Cross

Hawthorn is certainly tanking. Sam Mitchell's excuse for getting rid of Tom Mitchell was McKenzie and Day wouldn't play - what a crock? They deliberately got rid of Mitchell to lose games they didn't even get anything for him as their best player. This is a form of cheating to build a team around 4 or 5 number 1 draft picks. They should at the very least get the sanctions that Bailey and Connolly got for apparently tanking.

They shouldn't have changed it after Ugle-Hagan went no 1. The happy medium would be 20 40 is ridiculous.

I think May comes in for Tommo Hibberd to come in for Harmes The Gawn replacement will be interesting do they go with an extra midifelder in Laurie and Jordon and keep faith with McDonald as the second ruck or do they bring in van Rooyen. I'm not sure they can play together maybe they can time will tell. Jordon or Laurie will take Melksham's spot.

He done an alright job on Cameron stick with him. Cameron's better than Papley. Papley is overrated and never should have been AA ahead of Fritsch.

McVee

I'm a bad rap for Disco think he has a bright future. Wonder if they will start Kynan off half back like his old man. I think that's where we have the least depth but as JD said we can play our top picks off half back.

Congrats Clarry hope you have a ripper and more importantly a win in your 150th.
