  14. Possible DPP changes after round 17. (35% is the cut off point.)

    LIKELY CHANGES:
    Sam Docherty DEF/MID
    Tim Kelly FWD/MID 43% FORWARD
    Harry Himmelberg is sitting on 35% MID. Big chance for DEF-MID
    Hunter Clarke FWD-MID 38% FWD.
    Mitch Duncan 39% MID. Chance for MID/DEF
    Zac Fisher FWD-MID Needs to play next two games to reach threshold of number of games required.
    Ben Hobbs 35% MID.

    UNLIKELY
    Will Ashcroft 31% FWD. Would need to play forward for whole game next 2 weeks.
    Toby Greene 31% MID Mid minutes have dropped last two weeks making it very difficult.
    Mitch McGovern Has played forward last 3 games but only on 23%.

    Won’t gain DPP:
    Marcus Bontempelli (17% FWD time), Touk Miller (22% FWD) and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (16% MID) will fall short of the 35%.
    Lachie Whitfield (13% FWD), Tom Liberatore (8%DEF). Tom De Koning played 33% of game time forward against North Melbourne last round, but his season average is just 5%. Zach Merrett 11% defence and 26% forward

    WILL NOT HAVE PLAYED ENOUGH GAMES TO QUALIFY.
    Angus Clarke (42% MID), Zak Johnson (100% DEF), Jack Martin (83% MID) and Mani Liddy (42% FWD)
