ill say yes.
YES Nablett will play, for the reason the pressure/focus is on Hawkins and not him, and his injury

The reason they will be playing both Blake and King this week, is so Ottens can take Nabletts place as the 3rd tall up forward.

A no from me, no reason to risk further injury.

I have no idea what the status of the injury is but it seemed like a pretty minor twinge - you'd think he'd be ready this week. Has the club said anything at all about it?

Depends - will there be an article in the paper about him this weekend?

I dont think we will risk him, Blake deserves to play, so bring King onto the bench and keep Otto up forward, we should do well against an undersized Hawks defence.

That's what we were saying against the bulldogs...which makes me nervous...

Makes me nervous too.
I'm not sure that having the three big men in the 22 (King, Ottens and Blake) all at the same time is a good idea. Too slow, esp against a Hawthorn team that knows how to run.

Now that Ottens is out does it mean it was the other way around??? Still don't think he'll play?
