<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Note: Poor recent record in his past five games against Geelong averaging only 94 Played head to head against Kelly in Round 16 last year. Tagged by Taylor Hunt in Round 8. Had previously been tagged by Ling in 2011 and 2010. Poor game last week with only 94 which had followed scores of 118 and 127 (average of 113).
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]My opinion: Last year in Round 15, Hawthorn had a devastating 162 point victory over Greater Western Sydney (193 to 31 at the MCG). Thirteen Hawthorn players scored over 100 (with eight players scoring less than 100). They were led by Rioli with 26 touches, 9 tackles and 3 goals who finished with 159 SC points. Jordan Lewis had the second highest score with 130 SC points (from 31 touches). Roughead was next best with 21 touches and 6 goals and 126 SC points.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Last week, Adelaide thrashed the Giants by 135 points. Eight Crows scored over 100 (with five scores 120 or over). This week, I am expecting the Hawks to dominate the SC pie. Mitchell and Hodge should get plenty of the ball and Franklin and Roughead should each kick bags of goals.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]For me, it is hard to go past Ablett and his recent form. Sure he will cop a tag this week, but doesn't he always? I can't ignore his average over the past four games which is 145 SC points. He is the clear choice as captain this week but, if you have Hawthorn players, it wouldn't be a bad idea to roll the dice on one of them as your vice-captain to see if you can exploit the captain's loophole (just be careful though: the Hawthorn v. GWS game will finish roughly the same time that the Gold Coast v. Western Bulldogs game commences).
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Following Ablett, I expect Pendlebury to bounce back against Geelong after his sub-par week last week (and with tagger Taylor Hunt out of the Geelong side). Next, I would pick Watson playing against Brisbane and then Cox against North Melbourne.
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]
<p style='margin-bottom: 0cm;]Good luck all!
