Gold Coast
Hugh Greenwood (DK $7,700, DS $13,960) has been in elite form over the last 3 games averaging 107.0pts, his inside midfield usage has been high this season which included a season high 84.0% of team CBA’s in Round 7.
The Tackle numbers have been elite for Greenwood over his last 3 games averaging 11.6, expected wet conditions will definitely suit his inside midfield position on Thursday night.
Expect ownership to be high on Greenwood.
Western Bulldogs
Jack Macrae (DK $8,300, DS $15,930) has been quite consistent averaging 86.4pts from his last 5 games, while his ceiling games haven’t been a main feature this season the threat of hitting one and breaking a single game DFS tourney does exist.
The Bulldogs have used a narrow group of players at centre bounces this season, Macrae was used an equal team high 72.0% of CBA’s last week (Season: 63.3%).
Ownership for Macrae may be slightly underweight compared to other value midfield options on Thursday night.

Value
The pure midfield usage for Tom Liberatore (DK $5,800, DS $11,150)Â on Thursday night should be high, he was used at an equal team high 72.0% of centre bounces in Round 7.
Liberatore has averaged 70.3pts from his last 3 games with an increased midfield role, he has averaged 22.3 Disposals over the same period.
Expected wet conditions will suit the inside contested game of Liberatore, expect ownership to be high but given his midfield role the scoring should be enough to exceed value.
