Hewett it is.

Of course it is, because its makes no sense. Its not like we need a defensive minded mid to play on superstar mids that the opposition has.....
oh wait.
*facepalm*

Well, at the risk of seeming like a smarty pants, I suspected Hewett or Cerra. Balance. Plus Hewett was a little slow last week and would be a good replacement for a tired (or injured) mid when some of the early heat has gone out of the game.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

I wonder if the MC is worried one of our defenders might be underdone / lacking match fitness / slight injury cloud etc., and they have planned accordingly ?

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.
Blues by 30
(in the first quarter :D )

It seems a plausible reason IMO. From what I can tell, Voss is not a Teague / Ratten type coach. He doesn't appear to enjoy shoot out footy. Certainly he seemed pretty grumpy about the high scores we have been conceding recently, especially the Geelong game. There are a few plausible options for the sub, and you have to roll the dice and pick one.

Going back to what I was saying the other day...if someone is tired or injured, rest them.
Keep cunners in the side.
