George Hewett has been struggling the last 2 weeks and has been clearly affected by his hand injury. Definitely not the sort of form he was showing before the injury. Hopefully he can come back to form this week - we need him at his best.
I hope Kennedy and Walsh are ready to go. Both have had pretty limited preparations.
Lochie O'Brien needs game time in the VFL. Let him get 30+ possessions there for a couple of weeks before he gets another try, because he certainly isn't in great form. Mind you, his 2nd half last week was a big improvement over anything else he's done this year. In the first half he got the ball, but his decision making was terrible.
For that matter, I hope Jack Silvagni has been practicing his kicking. In the first half last week his miskicks let to 5 North Melbourne scores. He got the ball well, but his disposal was dreadful. Then he lifted, like the others in the third term and he could do no wrong, but again in the last a poor kick to a dangerous spot cost us a goal. He can't afford that regularly, even if he is the heart of the team.
