Yep
There is a method in the madness.
Whether it comes off or not we'll see.
I'm guessing the thinking is that later in the game even the fittest of the Melbourne mids will tire to some extent bringing them back closer to Hewett in terms of pace.
His role might be to negate that 'late game' effectiveness.
Of course, the game may be over by then.
