It's quite telling that Hannath is emergency and Zac has been dropped I reckon we won't see Clarke in purple again.

Will be interesting to see how both teams cope with the warm conditions given that both Melbourne and Perth are in the middle of frosty winters. I think Clarke and Hannath may be used as trade bait for either draft picks or other players. The rumours about Hogan still persist but I would be surprised if he comes home. The Dees are a young team building towards a period of success. Roo's is an absolute genius when you consider how hopeless they were 3 years ago.

An interesting stat is that Lyon has never coached a losing side against Melbourne . However I think Melbourne will win this game by 3 or 4 goals but the Dockers will play much better than they did against Collingwood. Good also to see Morabito named for Peel on Saturday. Lets hope he can be injury free for the rest of the season and he can build up in the WAFL towards playing AFL in the last part of the year.
