We have been seriously lacking in melts this year. I doubt there will be any today.

 

[Grave Danger]

Todd was something of a surprise debutant in the Mars game last year - maybe he'll be something of a surprise inclusion tonight.

It would be nice but I doubt it if he didn’t train

Does the lack of melts of late indicate a lack of depth?

 

[Capital Power]

I think it's more that we probably have the luxury of not needing (pun intended ) unforced changes, coupled with the lack of anyone smashing down the doors in the twos. Personally I'd like Pittard back in, but on current form he doesn't offer more that what we have now with DBJ and Houston.

Todd comes back in when ready, but that's a big ask if it's the Richmond game. And who do you drop?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Jake Neade is one bad game away from causing melts

But at the moment we are winning, structure looks sound and everyone is contributing.

 

[Byrons Firen]

Fine sunny 14 slight winds < 5km/h and 5% chance of <1mm.
In other words perfect so let's minimise the skill errors and get a win coz it gets tough after this game.
Jasper and AJ need to find form imo.

I think so. When the big melters aren't performing there's a definite lack in quality of the next tier of melters to lift their game to the level required for a truly satisfying melt night .

Fair nuff

Cam Hewett emergency. He could well be a bolter this year. Now he's back from injury, after his blistering preseason, if he can recapture that form at SANFL level like he did last week then he may be a sneaky chance at some stage.

One of the calls I heard earlier was the defence was too tall but the question was always going to be who do you drop and why. We did that once with Clurey for "match-ups" against Essendon and it didn't work. Always play your best.

Something about Jake Neade... melt, melt, melt!

I like Hewett. Is turning into a handy mid.

Don’t know much about him. Is he a mid ?

Personally I love the idea of having a tall defense. Geelong's prime years had a very tall backline.

 

[Nemisis]

Great to see Hewitt get some recognition.

While in Shanghai, we met a couple from our neck of the woods (YP) and he coached Cam all through his junior days. Said he always had great strength for his size, could run all day and was equally talented as his brother, so hopefully his injuries are behind him. Apparently one of the strongest players at the club but extremely shy - from his team 'mates' at the dinner in Kadina a few weeks ago

 

[Coobk001]

Sheesh the Magpies side on paper looks horrid.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Changes Kenny Hinkley?
No changes.
Good changes.

Cam Hewett knocking on the door. Good to see.

 

[OneGreatClub]

I hope our Impey replacement has a blinder against the Hawks.

 

[Waspy79]

Hawks have named their strongest side of the season. Despite (and because of) coming off 3 losses, I’m particularly worried about this game.

Yea my good feels have dropped away the closer the game gets it's more to do with Tassie than who the Hawks have named however.
