He’s no Dustin Martin.

I mean, he’s technically correct (cue - the best type of correct) under the assumption we are a better team with Heppell in it.

Heppell injury a Godsend for Zaharakis.

Zaharakis can now slot back into Heppell midfield role and another player (e.g. Snelling/Fantasia) play the HF, drag your man away from the play, role.

No thanks. Parish to play those midfield minutes.

Good changes

Ham!!!

Excellent.

Good changes.

Surely it should have been Zaka out for Ham.

I like Guelfi - provides us good versatility and is hard as a cats head.

Conservative approach with Fantasia. Okay with that. Though thought for sure he’d come in with the training reports etc

Rapt for Ham.

I reckon they were probably just being conservative given his history. He might play on managed minutes in the scratch match on Sunday

Turns out the extended bench was indeed named in order: Ham was fifth-listed, and replaces Heppell.

Wow, Melbourne have dropped Nathan Jones!

Melbourne have dropped Jones from their team. Big call.

Anyone think Heppell being out has saved Zaka? Or Zaka was going to play regardless?

Merrett more midfield time
Zaka to Merretts wing
Mckenna replace Guelfi
Ham fresh on bench to replace cutler/zaka and forwards.
