    Yes second highest in Disposals with Hawks on top. Hawthorn also 15th in tackles.

    Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

    I think we'll have the Cordy/Minson argument in every Match Committee thread for the rest of the season by the look of things. I'm not sold on Cordy but willing to hang out and wait.

    McPharlin is a massive out for us. I hope Lyon isn't playing funny buggers.

    I don't think he is story here Docker McPharlin ruled out of Bulldogs clash

    And I think we'll see the same thing again with Macrae this week. He's had a few bad weeks and his defensive efforts have been poor.

    In- Jong, Boyd, Wallis
    out- MaCrae, Hrovat, Webb (rested)

    Webb is probably the obvious one this week - as you allude to by 'rested' - he was going up and down on the spot last week.
    Agree also on Hrovat, he couldn't get involved last week. Think he would benefit from a full game on ball in the VFL.
    Hrovat is one player I'd like to see build his game up as the season goes on, so that he is able to be genuinely a part of the midfield rotation, and regular inside at the centre bounces.

    BF rumours that Dale will debut. Not sure how reliable, I guess we'll find out soon enough.

    MaCrae out, wow. He has been down on what we know he can be but is that enough to be dropped? Apparently so.

    We are way ahead in all the relevant stats even though we are getting smashed in hitouts
    Interesting points, but I really think that the game on the weekend exists in a vacuum, and that form lines will have little bearing on what we are confronted with, with the way we go in.

    I hope to be proven wrong and for the trends you've identified to continue, but I doubt it.

    Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

    I guess the match committee have had enough with Jackson kicking around corners, especially when he hits a guy in the 25th row on the chest. Lukas looked like he was ready for a rest this week, but I was surprised that Lachy Hunter retained his place and Nathan Hrovat didn't.

    Wonder if the Rat will be a late replacement for Lin or Koby.

    Re: Match Committee - Round 7 vs Fremantle

    Macrae being shown that no matter how much talent you have...you're still expected to play a team first game.
    Probably doesn't help our chances this Sunday - but a bigger picture decision.
