Western Bulldogs
Jack Macrae WB (DK $8,700, DS $16,740)Â has scored 100pts or more in 5 of his last 6 games, he has averaged 105.0pts over the same period.
The recent form for Macrae against the Cats is noteworthy, in 2 games last season he averaged 31.5 Disposals, 4.5 Marks & 5.0 Tackles for an average of 107.5pts*.
Macrae is the highest priced player on Friday night, with so many premium options available his ownership may be lighter than expected.
Geelong
The excellent form for Mitch Duncan GEEÂ (DK $8,500, DS $16,050) keeps rolling on, he has averaged 99.3pts from his last 6 games which has included an average of 21.8 Disposals & 5.8 Marks.
Both Geelong & the Bulldogs like to posses that ball which will make for an intriguing game, however the Cats have successfully adjusted game tempo against opponents recently which has assisted the scoring of Duncan with a slow down kick-mark game.
Many will be drawn to the recent form of Duncan, expect ownership to be strong.

Value
Rhys Stanley GEE (DK $5,700, DS $10,900)Â will again be No.1 ruck for the Cats on Friday night, he has averaged 65.5pts from his last 4 games.
The match-up for Stanley against the Bulldogs should be ideal against a Tim English/ Josh Bruce & even throw in Josh Dunkley combo, Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has used Dunkley at stoppages to ruck in recent weeks around the ground. This should increase the hit outs for Stanley on Friday night if the same Bulldogs ruck set-up plays out that way, if not the match-up against Tim English is still pretty decent.Â
Stanley will be a popular option due to his cheaper salary compared to English on Friday night, he’s in a spot that should provide a decent return.
