Western Bulldogs
Jack Macrae (DK $8,400, DS $15,940) has put together a nice run of games averaging 89.0pts since Round 3, his midfield usage at centre bounces has been very high over the same period.
Given the under strength Richmond midfield Macrae is likely to get on his bike early & often putting a ceiling type game in play, last year he scored 99pts* from 36 Disposals against the Tigers but winding back the clock to 2018 he scored a massive 190pts* recording 43 Disposals & 14 Marks along the way.
If Macrae is left to roam free on Wednesday night he could be a slate breaker, this should be reflected in your ownership percentage.
Richmond
Dustin Martin (DK $6,800, DS $12,480) has found some much needed form recently, he has averaged 81.0pts from his last 2 games after a quiet patch averaging 53.0pts between Rounds 4-7. Martin missed Round 3 with a rib injury.
The midfield usage has been at a high level in recent weeks for Martin especially with the injuries that have impacted the Richmond midfield, expect the midfield usage to be high again on Wednesday night.
Expect ownership for Martin to be very high against the Bulldogs, his salary does represent excellent value.

Value
Oleg Markov (DK $3,000, DS $5,970) comes into the Richmond team for Round 9, he is more suited to a half-back type role but is tall enough to match up on key forwards.
If Markov avoids any type of tall match-up role then he should be in a position to easily exceed his salary expectation, he is listed as a Mid only on both platforms.
Expect ownership to be quite high on Wednesday night for Markov.
