Macrae produced a scintillating second half for affiliate Williamstown last week while Stringer blitzed the second-tier league when trialled with Bendigo Gold as the 23rd man last year. Shtudown king Nick Lower will face his former side for the first time.

Known for his ability to win the ball in space, it was his inside work that shone against the Eagles, winning an equal career-high 15 contested possessions. BRISBANE LIONS B: M.Golby D.Merrett R.Lester HB: J.Adcock J.Patfull E.Yeo C: D.Zorko T.Rockliff P.Hanley HF: J.Polkinghorne J.Brown J.Green F: A.McGrath S.Martin R.Bewick R: M.Leuenberger D.Rich B.Moloney I/C: C.Beams P.Karnezis A.Raines J.Redden EMG: S.Mayes N.McKeever J.Crisp In: A.Raines , M.Leuenberger , R.Lester Out: M.Maguire (Calf), A.Cornelius (Omitted), B.Longer (Omitted) SUPERCOACH NOTES: MATTHEW Leuenberger played a full match in the NEAFL last week, finishing with 19 disposals, four clearances, five inside 50s and 128 points. With a clash against Sam Jacobs on the cards, the Lions will be keen get him back into the side. ADELAIDE L.Brown B.Rutten A.Otten M.Jaensch D.Talia B.Reilly N.van Berlo S.Thompson D.Mackay B.Crouch T.Walker B.Vince R.Douglas J.Jenkins J.Porplyzia S.Jacobs P.Dangerfield R.Sloane M.Wright J.Petrenko I.Callinan R.Henderson G.Johncock T.Lynch S.McKernan In: I.Callinan , B.Crouch Out: G.Johncock (Omitted), B.Martin (Omitted) SUPERCOACH NOTES: PATRICK Dangerfield had his colours lowered in the season opener against Essendon, managing only 63 points. He was given very little space and when he did have the ball his kicking was woeful, recording a team-low kicking efficiency of 30%. He'll have his work cut out against the Lions as well with Andrew Raines his likely opponent if he's named. ESSENDON B: M.Baguley J.Carlisle D.Fletcher HB: B.Goddard C.Hooker B.Stanton C: D.Heppell J.Watson A.Davey HF: S.Crameri M.Hurley D.Zaharakis F: N.Kommer P.Ryder J.Melksham R: T.Bellchambers H.Hocking C.Dempsey I/C: J.Merrett D.Myers M.Hibberd B.Howlett EMG: W.Hams D.Hille E.Kavanagh SUPERCOACH NOTES There were no signs of a Brownlow Medal hangover from JOBE Watson against Adelaide. The skipper led the Bombers to a morale boosting win, racking up a game-high 34 disposals on his way to 121 points. He also generated seven clearances and seven inside 50s, while chipping in to score one goal. MELBOURNE B: T.Gillies J.Frawley D.Terlich HB: J.Watts T.McDonald C.Garland C: J.Grimes J.Viney M.Jones HF: S.Blease J.Sellar J.Howe F: C.Sylvia M.Clark S.Byrnes R: M.Jamar J.McKenzieN.Jones I/C: J.Toumpas J.Trengove D.Nicholson A.Davey EMG: D.Rodan C.Pederson J.Spencer In: A.Davey , D.Terlich , J.Trengove , T.McDonald Out: D.Rodan (Omitted), L.Dunn (Hamstring), L.Tapscott (Omitted), C.Pederson (Omitted) SUPERCOACH NOTES JACK Watts was outstanding against Essendon in Round 10 last season, finishing with 24 disposals, seven marks (three intercepts), seven rebound 50s and 110 points. His ability to read the play shone, recording 13 intercept possessions - four more than any other player on the ground. PORT ADELAIDE B: Tom Jonas, Alipate Carlile, Cameron O'Shea HB: Jasper Pittard, Jackson Trengove, Lewis Stevenson C: Kane Cornes, Travis Boak, Brad Ebert HF: Paul Stewart, Justin Westhoff, Angus Monfries F: Chad Wingard, Jay Schulz, Jake Neade R: Jarrad Redden, Oliver Wines, Hamish Hartlett I/C: Campbell Heath, Kane Mitchell, Matthew Lobbe, Matthew Broadbent EMG: Sam Colquhoun, Andrew Moore, Aaron Young In: Carlile Out: Moore (omitted) SUPERCOACH NOTES: If HAMISH Hartlett remains injury free this year, then he looms as a boom recruit for any coach. He started strongly against the Demons, finishing with 29 disposals, four clearances, five inside 50s, two goals and 123 points. With the added bonus of dual position eligibility, he has to be considered. GWS GIANTS B: A Kennedy T Mohr P Davis HB: T Bugg S Gilham C Hampton C: T Scully C Ward W Hoskin-Elliott HF: S Coniglio J Cameron D Shiel F: L Sumner J Patton D Smith R: J Giles A Treloar T Greene I/C: D Brogan R Palmer L Plowman L Whitfield EMG: S Frost S Darley S Reid In: Rhys Palmer Out: Taylor Adams (hip) SUPERCOACH NOTES: Opposition sides are likely to target TOBY Greene after his outstanding debut season. Sydney used Ryan O'Keefe on him effectively last week, restricting him to 11 disposals, one mark, one tackle and 45 points. He can expect to have Kane Cornes by his side this round. GEELONG B: M.Brown T.LonerganC.Enright HB: T.Hunt A.Mackie T.Varcoe C: A.Christensen J.Bartel J.Kelly HF: M.Duncan S.Motlop B.Smedts F: J.Podsiadly T.Hawkins H.Taylor R: T.West J.Selwood P.Chapman I/C: J.Corey J.Caddy M.Stokes, G.Horlin-Smith J.Thurlow J.Stringer M.Blicavs In: J.Corey , J.Kelly , M.Brown , J.Stringer , J.Thurlow Out: J.Rivers (Knee), J.Murdoch (Hand) SUPERCOACH NOTES: If it wasn't for JIMMY Bartel's strong finish to Monday's match against Hawthorn, then his score would have been unacceptable. He collected 10 of his 22 disposals for the match in the final term, with 43 of his 88 points scored in that quarter as well. NORTH MELBOURNE B: S.McMahon S.Thompson M.Firrito HB: J.Macmillan N.Grima S.Atley C: A.Mullett R.Bastinac S.Gibson HF: K.Harper R.Tarrant D.Wells F: L.Thomas D.Petrie L.Hansen R: T.Goldstein A.Swallow J.Ziebell I/C: L.Anthony B.Jacobs B.Cunnington, L.Adams L.Greenwood T.Hine M.Daw In: S.McMahon , L.Greenwood , M.Daw , T.Hine Out: S.Wright (Knee) SUPERCOACH NOTES ANDREW Swallow is clearly one of the safest premium midfielders going around, playing in 89 consecutive matches - the second-longest streak of any player in the AFL. He dominated in the season opener against Collingwood, finishing with 34 disposals, nine tackles, seven clearances and a team-high 137 points. COLLINGWOOD B: N.Brown N.Maxwell B.Reid HB: A.Toovey H.Shaw H.O'Brien C: S.Sidebottom D.Swan P.Seedsman HF: J.Elliott T.Cloke Q.Lynch F: B.Sinclair T.Goldsack S.Dwyer R: D.Jolly S.Pendlebury J.Blair I/C: M.Clarke J.Frost B.Johnson B.Kennedy B.Macaffer J.Russell J.Thomas In: H.Shaw , B.Kennedy , P.Seedsman SUPERCOACH NOTES: SCOTT Pendlebury will be looking to redeem himself against Carlton this week in what will be his 150th AFL match. He was nullified by Andrew Carrazzo in Round 3 last season, recording only 10 disposals form the 63 minutes they were matched up. CARLTON B: C.Yarran M.Jamison L.Henderson HB: Z.Tuohy D.Armfield B.Gibbs C: K.Simpson A.Carrazzo M.Robinson HF: C.Judd A.Walker J.Garlett F: T.Bell L.Casboult S.Rowe R: M.Kreuzer M.Murphy B.McLean I/C: J.Bootsma D.Buckley M.Davies N.Duigan J.Laidler K.Lucas S.White In: S.Rowe , S.White , J.Laidler , M.Davies , D.Buckley , T.Bell Out: E.Betts (Jaw), A.Joseph (Omitted), S.Hampson (appendix removed) SUPERCOACH NOTES: CHRIS Judd has excelled against the Magpies since 2010, averaging 114 points per game - ranked No.1 at the club. Averaging 30 disposals, 15 contested possessions, seven clearances and six inside 50s per match, he dominated in the two meetings last season, racking up 35 and 32 disposals respectively. WEST COAST B: A.Selwood D.Glass M.Brown HB: S.Hurn W.Schofield B.Waters C: A.Embley M.Priddis A.Gaff HF: J.Cripps JJ.Kennedy A.Hams F: C.Masten J.Darling J.Hill R: D.Cox S.Selwood L.Shuey I/C: J.Brennan S.Butler B.Sheppard C.Sinclair As.Smith B.Dalziell B.Wilson In: S.Butler , M.Brown , B.Dalziell , J.Brennan , B.Wilson , C.Sinclair Out: M.LeCras (arm), E.Mackenzie (Hamstring), S.Lycett (Omitted) SUPERCOACH NOTES: MARK LeCras" wretched injury run continues after he suffered a fractured arm against Fremantle - an injury that will sideline him up to one month. He impressed in the lead up, finishing with 14 disposals, eight tackles, two goals and 91 points. A straight swap for team mate Josh Kennedy is your best option. HAWTHORN B: R.Schoenmakers J.Gibson B.Guerra HB: G.Birchall B.Stratton S.Burgoyne C: I.Smith S.Mitchell B.Hill HF: C.Rioli L.Franklin P.Puopolo F: J.Gunston J.Roughead L.Breust R: M.Bailey B.Sewell J.Lewis I/C: L.Hodge J.Anderson D.Hale S.Savage J.Simpkin M.Spangher L.Shiels In: L.Hodge , J.Simpkin , M.Spangher SUPERCOACH NOTES: SAM Mitchell found plenty of the ball last week against Geelong, winning 24 of his 37 disposals in the defensive half. He was the top ranked player for the match courtesy of his 141 points - 19 more than any other Hawthorn player.
