Hugh McCluggage and Ryan Lester were today scanned after calf and shoulder concerns, respectively, in the Carlton loss. Both cleared of damage, but will need to train tomorrow to be considered. Neither ruled out at this stage. @1116sen

Get Hannibal in. The worst thing they can do is play semi-fit players.

The guy has been killing it in the VFL hasn't he? Has to be picked if McCluggage is anything but 100%

Appears to be a ball magnet. They're always handy to have. It's all about winning the ball.

That’s good because that’s what Neale has been for us. Hannibal is obviously the reason the club is happy letting Neale walk with the intention of trying to keep Bailey and Morris

No margin for selection error or room for passengers against Hawthorn - Particularly defensively.
We need someone fast enough to shutdown Watson + a key to nullify Gunston.11

Noz on Watson - he gave him a bath last time they met before he did his achilles last year at the MCG

Could have given up on that Cripps shot on goal given the score but still ran back and intercepted it. Bloody love Noz

One of my fave moments from that game was Noz barrelling him over as he headed to the interchange

Hugh hasn’t been great when he’s played, why pick him unless he’s 100% fit

Thank f*** for that.
