Apparently sunny. I want Hrovat to play with Grant the sub.

Happy to see Webb included, will be interesting to see how the final 22 looks.

Do we think Fletch is in the squad as a swingman?

Possibly. Has been routinely beaten both times I've seen him in the past month (Geelong and Richmond), so gotta say I'm suprised to see he's even being raised as an option!

Agreed. I thought Hamling was a good chance after watching last weekend and Wood being out.

The only thing I could think of was Roberts can play both ends (not saying Hamling can't) and if Cordy goes out we may want another solid body up front to support Boyd.

Just on Hamling he kicked a couple of bags of 6 goals when playing for Geelong in the VFL if my memory serves me correct.

From memory he kicked a bag of 6 last year.

So he's more credentialed than Fletch is as a fwd!

Fletch slotted the money shot last year. He's OK with me.

Bonti not a certainty to play.

from The Age

Hawthorn and the Western Bulldogs are confronting injury problems to key players for their clash in Launceston on Sunday.Hawk winger Bradley Hill is almost certain to miss the match, with residual effects of concussion, and dynamic young Bulldog Marcus Bontempelli is under a cloud with a calf injury.

Bontempelli was named in the team and is expected to fly to Tasmania as the Dogs give him time to be fit, but he has struggled with tightness and soreness in the calf all week.
His loss would be significant for the Dogs who have impressed in the opening rounds and who will fancy their chances against the reigning premiers after their loss to Essendon last Sunday.

Bontempelli has been best-on-ground in the Dogs' two wins.

Hill is understood to have passed concussion tests after a head knock, but the club will not take chances with him.
Hill would be a significant loss for the Hawks as he is one of the few players to give the team outside run. Hawthorn rely heavily on Hill, Isaac Smith and Liam Shiels for line-breaking running.
Shiels is already missing with a hamstring injury and the Hawks are expected to include another runner in the team.

Ok. I believe the term is 'parley'.

Hawthorn changes

In: Mitchell, Gibson, Whitecross
Out: Frawley (Pectoral), O'Rourke (Omitted), Sicily (Omitted)

Sicily or Hartung likely to be cover for Hill
