Mark Blicavs – Geelong Cats – $12,050

Midfielder
Brad Crouch – Adelaide Crows – $15,050
Overshadowed by brother Matt for much of the season, Brad has snuck under the radar somewhat, ranking second behind the latter for points scored since Round 15 with an average of 112. Crouch top-scored in the qualifying final with 124 points from 27 disposals and eight tackles.
Midfielder/Ruckman
Mark Blicavs – Geelong Cats – $12,050
Blicavs was one of eight Cats to score 100+ points in last week’s demolition of Sydney. Handed a run-with role, his tackling really stood out, applying a season-high 14 tackles. Blicavs was solid when the Cats last played at Adelaide Oval in Round 18 against the Crows, finishing with 10 tackles and 96 points.
Richmond vs Greater Western Sydney
Midfielder/Forwards
Dustin Martin – Richmond – $15,250
Kane Lambert – Richmond – $12,250
Matt de Boer – Greater Western Sydney – $8,150
Midfielders
Stephen Coniglio – Greater Western Sydney – $13,500
Jacob Hopper – Greater Western Sydney – $10,300
Jack Graham – Richmond – $9,150
Defenders
Heath Shaw – Greater Western Sydney – $11,050
Nathan Wilson – Greater Western Sydney – $9,400
Ruckman/Forward
Rory Lobb – Greater Western Sydney – $10,800
Salary Remaining: $150
Midfielder
Jack Graham – Richmond – $9,150
Graham’s defensive game has shone since debuting in Round 22, averaging nine tackles from three games – ranked No.1 at Richmond. He has also been able to get involved around the ground, averaging 13 disposals and one goal. Graham averages 76 points and is decent pick at his price.
Rory Lobb – Greater Western Sydney – $10,800
Lobb is nicely priced considering he’ll lead the ruck department again this week in the absence of the injured Shane Mumford. He won a season-high 39 hitouts last week against the Eagles, also recording 11 disposals and 90 points – his third-biggest score of the season.
