Collingwood
Adam Treloar (DK $8,200, DS $16,500) has been in outstanding form since his return from injury averaging 33.0 Disposals, 1.7 Marks & 4.0 Tackles (Ave: 105.0pts).
Treloar should be able to find enough space inside the West Coast structured game style, in 2 games last year he averaged 109.5pts* which included 39 Disposals for 121pts* in Round 17 at Optus Stadium.
It is an expensive day to roster premium Mids, identifying players that can hit a ceiling at this price range can make or break your line-up.
Adelaide
Reilly O’Brien ADE (DK $7,800, DS $15,210) is putting together a fine season averaging 13.7 Disposals, 4.3 Marks & 23.4 Hit Outs, his average of 91.5pts since Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks moved to a solo Ruck set-up in Round 2 is slightly behind Brodie Grundy.
The match-up for O’Brien against Tom Bellchambers is quite favourable, O’Brien should be able to work off his opponents and accumulate disposals to keep the scores ticking over.
From a salary perspective the ruck selections on Sunday are spread out, with Grundy & Gawn at the high end O’Brien offers a discount with a generous match-up.

Value
The scores for Will Hamill ADEÂ (DK $3,400, DS $5,850)Â have been inconsistent early in his career, but the role he is playing is clearly noteworthy which creates an opportunity to spend down in order to acquire some expensive talent on Sunday.
Hamill recorded just 8 Disposals & 2 Marks last round against St Kilda, he averaged 12.5 Disposals 4.0 Marks from his previous 2 games.
Obviously spreading out the risk with volatile type plays is recommended when building line-ups, including Hamill with his ability to exceed value given his role at the Crows should not be ignored.
