Hale gets his chance
David Hale will get his chance to impress in a different role this week after being named in the final team for Sunday's match.
A month in the ruck at North Ballarat should hold the big man in good stead as he steps in for injured teammate Todd Goldstein.
Youngster Marcus White is the other inclusion, included at the expense of Lindsay Thomas who will undergo surgery on his knee.
