Another large crowd is expected at the MCG, where the Hawks will go in favorites despite missing stars Luke Hodge, Jarryd Roughead and Liam Sheils. The Mapgies also have their own injury woes with Captain Nick Maxwell, Alan Didak, Ben Johnson, Chris Tarrant, Nathan Brown and Andrew Krakouer all missing. Sharrod Wellingham will also be sitting out, serving his 2 match inter-club suspension for an pre-season indiscretion.
