<p style='margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: #fcfcfc;][span style='color: #444444;]Notes: Most recently tagged by Shiels in the first quarter of the Preliminary Final before Shiels moved to a dominant Steve Johnson from the second quarter. Solid record against Hawthorn. He has started the season on fire with scores of 157, 140, 138 and 126 (average of 140).

<p style='margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: #fcfcfc;]In my opinion, Ablett is still too hard to ignore. He had a terrible last outing against Melbourne last season but he averaged 138 SC points in the four prior matchups against Melbourne. Pendlebury (vice captain loophole), Watson and Selwood are the next obvious candidates.
