Richmond
Bachar Houli (DK $6,800, DS $15,670) returned from injury last week scoring 100pts which included 26 Disposals & 8 Marks, he will likely be the main distributor out of the Richmond defence again in Round 3.
Houli has averaged 101.7pts* from his last 3 games against the Hawks, he scored 117pts* the last time he played the Hawks in Round 9 last season which included 35 Disposals.
Hawthorn
Tom Mitchell (DK $9,000, DS $15,120) will enjoy being back in the wide open space of the MCG this week, in his last 2 games against Richmond Mitchell has averaged 133.5pts* which included an average of 40.0 Disposals (both losing games).
Mitchell has been dealing with a shoulder concern recently, that shouldn’t hold him back when accumulating disposals with what should be little opposition attention from the Tigers.

Value
Jack Higgins (DK $4,700, DS $10,170) made a successful return to football last week scoring 79pts, he recorded an equal team high 8 Marks often presenting as an option for the Tigers coming out of defence.
Higgins was a prolific ball winner in his U18 season prior to joining Richmond at the end of 2017, he has averaged over 16 Disposals* in his first 2 years at the Tigers.
If left unattended by the Hawks Higgins can certainly crush value in Round 3.
