I think Fyfe has demonstrated on several occasions that he has a hair trigger temper, and I reckon could be provoked with minimal effort. He is pretty blatant and lacks subtlety. Hodge on the other hand will get away with much more, under the radar. Sneaky (*&^%.
As long as White doesn't turn his back on Hodge he'll be safe, Hodge rarely accidents someone unless it's a blindside!
Hodge's favorite accidents are;
- Knee to the kidney's during marking.
- Shoulder or Hip to the head area at ground level.
- Round forearm to the head during spoiling attempt.
- Clip to the achilles during sprint to the ball.
- Knee to the ribs at ground level.
- Front on elbow to the head during a "brave marking attempt" with the flight.
Hodge must be the unluckiest player in the AFL to be regularly involved in so many accidents!

We'll get well beaten but I don't think it will get near 100 points.
Menzel is out of chances surely, Jaksch in for him is the only change I'd make, keep running the young blokes.
Menzel out to recover from whatever injury he is carrying. Obviously not fit. Not struggling that badly for nothing. Jaksch in for Rowe and play forward hence moving Henderson back. Jaksch was recruited as a forward so now is a good time to play him there and give him experience. Wood, may come back too.

I'd love to see White go to Hodge.

Menzel's just out of form I reckon, not that he's ever been in hot form anyway, I don't think he's as good as we thought he might be but time is still on his side.
I doubt that Rowe will be dropped and I don't think there's much chance of Wood getting a game, Hawthorn's runners are who normally kill us.
It won't be pretty, we'll be lucky to kick 10 goals.

In footy smarts, yeah, but there'd be plenty of cheap shots going in both directions.

White would get four weeks for injuring Hodge's fist with his head!
