Mackenzie and Morrison.Ward?
Take this with a grain of salt.
Among the maybe injured, based on today's training and match sim Ginni, Sic, Massimo looks ready to go.
Ward is also wearing Gold during the match sim, so most likely to play as well.
I don't know who will miss. I am guessing maybe Punky or Harry. It is hard to tell.

If you can’t appreciate that it’s the broadcasters (Ch7 & Foxtel) who determine with the AFL the scheduling, and their focus is number of eyeballs on screens, I can’t help you.I’m not getting into an argument over something that is pretty straight forward common business knowledge. The more exposure you get commercial wise, the more money the club makes.
I guess if he doesn’t play this week, he never plays.Not sure I like the Finn to tag move. Feels like it could potentially backfire on us overall with our structure but happy to be wrong.
Interested to see what changes we end up seeing.
We rate highly on channel 7.If you can’t appreciate that it’s the broadcasters (Ch7 & Foxtel) who determine with the AFL the scheduling, and their focus is number of eyeballs on screens, I can’t help you.
If Hawthorn games rated as well as other rival clubs, then C7/Fox would push for us to play those slots.
That may well change from this season onwards, but to suggest the AFL is corrupt and are refusing to help C7/Fox put us in primetime is to ignore the same business reality you rely on for your argument.
If we rated highly, we’d get the prime time slots.

Or is Moore actually going to try and play on an opponent?They've dropped Frampton. Is Howe going to play on Chol?
Howe matches up OK. Chol doesn’t body in marking contests. Relies on his leap which suits Howe.They've dropped Frampton. Is Howe going to play on Chol?

My money would be on Punky.Looking at that side breust or mass are the sub surely
Breust sub with Ginni back. Morrison a late in if Mass doesn’t get up.Looking at that side breust or mass are the sub surely
Doesn’t say omitted - says managed.I'm glad a lot of people on here now are starting to notice Frenchie is not as dominent and influential as alot of people on here make him out to be. I'm a massive fan of him by the way and I feel he is going to be an unbelievable player for us for many years to come.
But I've paying really close attention to his last 6 or 7 games and he constantly turns it over and kicks it to contests where we are out numbered and it comes straight back.
Spots are so tight, he could definately do with a bit of a spell in the 2's just to clean up his decion making. He needs to start hitting a better option.
I feel Morisson is a better decision maker with ball in hand and he's playing for his career, but obviously frenchie has a much higher ceiling.
