TOPIC:

The big question is will Ross Lyon bring Walters in and if he does who makes way? He has already said Crozier and Duffy will play this weekend. You never know with Ross Lyon but I think son son will givee the team a huge lift and I think De Boer or Mayne makes way. Huge opportunity to knock off the Hawks with Roughhead and Gunston out and thought I heard somewhere that Hodge is out. Anyone confirm?

Havent heard about Hodge but he quite often has games off so perhaps? His body isnt holding up like it used to.
As for the game, I think it should be a ripper. Real battle of the midfield. The Hawks depleted forward line is against the Dockers depleted backline so the Hawks cant use that excuse.

I have a feeling freo will get up, I cant see the hawkers kicking enough goals without roughie...

Would like to see Morabito as sub again. He can play anywhere, but seems to be on the back burner at the moment. Silvani for McPharlin you would expect, needs to be a hard call for someone if Walters comes in. I don't think he will just yet and Ballard needs to be rewarded soon for his efforts in the WAFL.

Without Roughead Gunston and of course Rioli still missing, I think the dockers will win. But if Hawthorn had these guys Id tip them by 6 goals.

I believe Hodge has rib issues so he is doubtful too.

dockers should get up, no better opportunity given the key hawks out.

If the Dockers can play with the same intensity and pressure as they did in the last quarter against the Cats for the whole 4 quarters on Sunday, I have no doubt that they will overcome the Hawks who are a little undermanned at the moment.

With all the write ups I cant see the Dockers being beaten. However if they lose then they are a weak mob. Everything is going for them.

Everythings going for them?

The ammount of outs at Hawthorn i would have thought Freo go into the game as red hot favourites to win.
Freo should win by a minimum of 5 goals.

Outs Hawks: Roughead and Hartung
Ins: Lake Gunston and others

Outs Dockers: McPharlin
Ins: Mzungu Walters

Don't really see your point on this, seems pretty even if you ask me.
