1. Jordan Lewis (Hawthorn)
The Cats will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on in-form Hawks midfielder Jordan Lewis on Saturday night.
Lewis has found the ball at will over the past three weeks, racking up 100 disposals – and is ranked equal first at the club alongside Sam Mitchell for disposals per game this season.
The 29-year-old ranks second for inside-50s at the Hawks, proving his importance driving the side into attack.
2. Steven Motlop (Geelong)
Geelong has struck a rich vein of form over the past month, and Steven Motlop has been a key factor to their string of four consecutive wins.
Motlop averages almost 31 disposals per game across the past three weeks.
The 24-year-old also enjoys playing the Hawks – he had 32 disposals when the sides met earlier this year.
3. James Frawley (Hawthorn)
First-year Hawk James Frawley will play his 150th AFL game on Saturday, and will have a key role to play down back.
The Cats have a potent key forward duo in Tom Hawkins and Josh Walker – with one of those players likely to have Frawley for company.
The 26-year-old has had an unlucky run with injury this season, and will be looking to string together some consistent performances heading towards finals.
4. Steve Johnson (Geelong)
'Stevie J' will return from a one-week suspension to play his 250th AFL match against the Hawks this weekend.
A proven big-game performer, Johnson will no doubt be relishing the opportunity to pull out his full bag of tricks under lights on the big stage.
The veteran midfielder-forward has 21 goals this season and averages more than 20 disposals per game, proving his importance to the Cats.
5. Liam Shiels (Hawthorn)
Pressure machine Liam Shiels has been a pivotal part of Hawthorn’s success this season and will have an important role to play if his team is to claim the points in a ferocious clash with the Cats.
The 24-year-old averages 21.6 disposals per game this season – and leads the competition for tackles per game.
Shiels averages 8.1 tackles per match, and is coming off a 17-tackle performance against the West Coast Eagles.
