Nth Melbourne
Luke McDonald NM (DK $7,300, DS $15,040) has been on fire from a fantasy perspective in recent weeks, his role in defence has kept scoring ticking over at a very high rate.
Port Adelaide are ranked 1st for Inside 50 Differential this season (+10.1 Ave), Nth Melbourne are ranked 15th (-6.4 Ave). If the game script plays out this way McDonald should see a high number of opportunities in defence, kick-in opportunities should also be available.
The price tag for McDonald is still quite reasonable, expect ownership to be very strong.
Port Adelaide
Tom Rockliff PA (DK $8,100, DS $15,260)Â has averaged 90.5pts from his last 6 games, he has averaged 21.7 Disposals, 2.0 Marks & 7.7 Tackles over the same period.
Rockliff is a genuine ceiling type player in fantasy, his midfield usage has been high since coming back into the Power team in Round 9.
Rockliff will always be a popular option to roster in any midfield, a full 7 day break should have him refreshed & ready for what should be a pretty hot contested game early against the Kangaroos.

Value
Flynn Perez NM (DK $2,900, DS $5,000) will make his AFL debut for the Kangaroos on Saturday night, he was selected at pick 35 in the 2019 AFL Draft.
Perez missed all of 2019 with an ACL injury, he is more suited to a half back type role having the attributes in his junior career to fit nicely into the Kangaroos defence.
The ownership will be strong for Perez, he should be in a position to easily exceed his salary expectation.
