LUKE Hodge will take his place in Hawks' line-up but a Magpie is in serious doubt. For the best late whispers step inside the Panic Room.
WHISPERS
HE IS one of Mick Malthouse's favourites but the new Carlton boss isn't expecting Ben Johnson to up against him on Sunday.
The Blues were surprised to see Johnson on the Pies' extended interchange after he suffered a corked quad in the season opener.
He was subbed off before halftime and has done minimal training this week.
Another surprise at the selection table was the naming of Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge, but he will definitely be on the plane to Perth tomorrow.
While Hodge figured after his low-key VFL hitout last weekend he would need more match practice, the word has it his training has gone up a level this week to the point where the coaching stafff couldn't say no.
He is likely to be a candidate for the substitute vest at some stage but 80 per cent fit Hodge is seen as a better option than a kid in the crucial clash at Subiaco.
Speaking of the west, David Mundy will hopefully have enjoyed the trip over to Melbourne because it's not going to be as hospitable tomorrow with the Dogs new version of Tony Liberatore - Nick Lower - believed to have his sights set on the Dockers key midfielder.
And don't be surprised if Sam Fisher doesn't quite get up for tonight's clash at the MCG, with Tiger officials certainly surprised his foot problem and match conditioning was at a level ready to play.

SUPERCOACH ALERT
He was on everyone's radar over the pre-season but when his name was missing in Round 1 many of us - including me - panicked and didn't select Dean Terlich. The mature-aged recruit from the Demons was all the rage over the summer and the reason for everyone's excitement was the simple fact he is 23 and ready to dominate straight away. At $109,500, Terlich is rock solid gold. Make him your first trade for the year and then in a month's time watch his price triple.

MONEY MATTERS
It's more than likely that you've only just stopped counting all the winnings from last week. It was a bonanza (correctly picking Gold Coast, the Cats and GWS at the line) so naturally we step it up this week and really go for the jugular with a four-way multi. The theory centres around a few very ordinary losers from last week actually showing some steel - not enough to win, but enough to keep their losing margin under 39.5 points.
Our suggestion for Round 2 is:
Richmond U/39.5 $2.20
Essendon U/39.5 $2.60
Adelaide U/39.5 $2.35
Hawthorn U/39.5 $2.60
= $34.95

ON NOTICE
Nathan Buckley
This is it, Bucks. This is the one. We don't care if you don't win another game (well, not really but you know what we mean). There is no way of dancing around the fact that you have to beat Mick Malthouse in your first head-to-head battle. Mick has been playing mind games with you for years and imagine what he'll spin if he gets an undermanned Carlton up to beat you on Sunday. Treat this week like a Grand Final because you're heading for a world of pain if you don't pull it off.
