Look out Geelong! Hayden Ballantyne is back to run the Cats amok once again but this time he’s got a big arse bit of metal in his jaw, making him impervious to their traditional tactic of smacking him in the head. The Sandover Medallist was mysteriously hit in the head last week, resulting in a fractured gob but has been patched up and will run out for his captain’s 300 game. Luke McPharlin doesn't hold Pavlich in such high regard and has forgone radical temporary re-constructive of his leg that would have seen him able to hobble through the banner with Pav. Zac Dawson will play but it’s hard to say whether that’s out of respect for Pav or just because he’s got nothing else to do on a Saturday night. Alex Silvagni has managed to hold onto his spot in the presence of Dawson but Clancee Pearce and Hayden Crozier have been given the heave ho, with Tommy Sheridan rotated in.
