With Hawthorn's lack of talls we can get away woth C Bolton playing fullback this week.

But if James is over his foot injury next week he must play, at least until Schuable is back up and firing.

Other than that, the team looks well balanced.

Would think it would be Doyle, Bevan, Crouch & either McVeigh or Spriggs for the last spot on the bench.

why must james play, i think the team looks alright down back especially if lrt can fire

Good to see LRT named at CHB even though that might not be the case come sunday.

My Guess at the bench is

Spriggs, Doyle, Crouch, Bevan

McVeigh very very unlucky, but if spriggs fails then mcveigh is a shoe in

Also feel for Dempster, but his time will definately come this year.

agree on dempster. He has a bright future in the team!! he could aim to play 10 games maybe. depends how he goes of course

I'd be more likely to include Bevan because he can play in the back 50 and the likelihood of matching up on one of the Hawks's small forwards.

on that premise id pick mcveigh. the game is won and lost in the middle, not being able to cover a small forward.

Bevan would have to play.

Dempster, Fosdike and Spriggs to miss out.

?All the guys have performed through the pre-season, but Seany Dempster, Fossy and Spriggs - who are listed as emergencies - are the three mains ones who were a bit stiff (to miss out), but probably more particularly a Dempster and a Spriggs.?

I hope this serves as a big wake-up call for Fosdike.

Happy with that team, bit stiff on Dempster but he'll get his shot in time. Happy both Spriggs and Fosdike didn't get selected.

Glad to see McVeigh get the nod over Spriggs. Macca really impressed me with his skills in the pre season while spriggs, although got plenty of ball, was no where near as effective as McVeigh.

agree, he has to lift his game and he needs the kick up the backside. Hope it makes him fight for his spot back
