Collingwood

The Magpies will rely heavily on Taylor Adams COLL (DK $8,200, DS $16,160) to do most of the inside contested work against the Kangaroos in Round 13, his centre bounce usage has been high this season & that likely won’t alter on Monday night.

Adams has averaged 101.3pts from his last 3 games, he has averaged 28.7 Disposals, 5.0 Marks & 3.3 Tackles over the same period (0 Tackles in Round 12). Adams has also averaged 96.0pts in Collingwood winning games this season, 10 more points than losing games.

Ownership will likely be moderate to strong for Adams, many will be drawn to his recent form.

Nth Melbourne

The role that Luke McDonald NM (DK $6,700, DS $13,250) has played in defence in recent weeks is clearly noteworthy, add the increased number of kick-ins he has taken and it’s pretty clear if his role isn’t altered on Monday night he should be in for another decent return.

The Kangaroos have started to concede a high number of Inside 50s compared to their opponents in recent weeks, they are ranked 15th this season with a -6.8 Inside 50 Differential (Rounds 7-12: -11.2).

If the Magpies can produce a high number of Inside 50s against the Kangaroos on Monday night then expect McDonald to be in a very favourable scoring position, he’ll be a very popular selection.

Value

As the 2020 H&A season nears completion the Kangaroos are likely to continue the shape & structure of their team for the future, one part of their midfield future is Luke Davies-Uniacke NM (DK $5,300, DS $9,640) who has seen an increase in a pure midfield role in recent games.

Davies-Uniacke has averaged 68.0pts in his last 3 games, he has averaged 18.7 Disposals, 3.3 Marks & 3.0 Tackles over the same period.

Many will likely target Davies-Uniacke on Monday night in order to find the savings required to build other areas of their line-up, his midfield role is definitely an opportunity to exceed value.
