Western Bulldogs
Jack Macrae WB (DK $9,000, DS $17,200)Â has been in elite form recently averaging 112.5pts from his last 4 games, he has averaged 33.5 Disposals, 2.8 Marks & 5.3 Tackles over the same period.
The Crows have been underwhelming this season and especially through the midfield as they enter a transition period with a mixture of inexperience & youth at stoppages, expect Macrae to take full advantage if he is left unattended for the majority of the game.
Macrae won’t be a unique selection on Sunday, it’s just a matter of how heavy you want to roster him against the field.
ADELAIDE
Rory Laird ADEÂ (DK $6,700, DS $13,870) has been used at a high rate through the Adelaide midfield in recent weeks, he recorded 40 Disposals last week scoring a season high 139pts.
Rory Sloane will return for the Crows in Round 12 but it is likely Laird will maintain his current midfield usage, if Laird is left unattended during general play through the centre of the ground then expect another decent return against the Bulldogs.
Recency bias will be in play on Sunday, the ownership for Laird will be very strong.

Value
Lachlan Sholl ADE (DK $3,300, DS $6,240) has now completed 2 AFL Games, he has averaged 13.0 Disposals & 2.5 Marks for an average of 44.0pts.
The role on Sunday for Sholl will likely be once again favourable, he will play across half-back and out on a wing as a connector to those further up the ground. If the Crows are under scoreboard pressure then expect a fair amount of ball to come his way.
Sholl is likely to be a popular selection on Sunday, selecting him will allow for increased spend in other parts of your roster.
