James Frawley v Josh Kennedy
Both didn’t have their best games last week.
Kennedy looked shaky in front of goal kicking just three goals from his eight scoring opportunities.
Frawley will be disappointed that he wasn’t able to stop Buddy Franklin. Franklin scored four goals from five possessions.
Which of the two will bounce back this week?

Ricky Henderson v Andrew Gaff
Gaff and Henderson are the leading disposal winners at their respective clubs.
Gaff plays well against the Hawks. He was best on ground when these teams met last with a game-high 35 disposals.
Henderson is the most consistent performer at Hawthorn this season averaging 27.4 disposals a game.
On paper the two are similar, however Gaff has a slight ascendency in disposals, clearances and contested possessions.
Who will be the major ball winner on Saturday afternoon?
Liam Shiels v Luke Shuey
Like Henderson and Gaff, Shiels and Shuey match up on paper.
They both like to tackle, they like contested possessions and they like to rack up disposals.
Shuey is, however, the leading clearance winner for his team and delivers the ball inside 50 more than any other Eagle.
Will Shiels be able to stop Shuey putting the Eagles on the attack?
