Hadley.

The reason that Hadley has not been played too much yet is a query on leg speed. On a wet MCG, that won't be a problem, and his more mature body will be of benefit over the ball. He can be played midfield and back, and would be an ideal spare parts player off the bench.

Hadley

The good thing about bringing in a young player is the opposition team (in this case, Collingwood) would not bother with him and when he touches the ground, he could be a game breaker. It might work.

Hadley has been emergency the past however many weeks, he's been in good form in the reserves by the looks of things. If Pike or McRrae isn't available, Hadley will be selected. Hadley will be selected if Chris Scott or Chris Johnson don't pull up. So he's in a good position to be selected this week. Time will tell. He will be the travelling emergency.

I can see that Hadley is in good form, but it'd strike me as most unlike Lethal to give a bloke his first game in the seniors for the season in a final.

Gram is more likely on this basis.

Notting to tear the Pies a new orifice playing in spurts off the bench.

How about Merritt. He looks sharp and is a good mark and kick, and a good bullocking player.

I played with a guy Alan Corrie in juniors in Darwin, a cousin I think, and the guy was a freak wet or dry weather, unfortunately like a lot of the NT boys didn't have the commitment to push himself.

I guess that the catch here is Buckley will know Alan and if I am right this lad is also a Southern Districts boy so he may know of him as well.
