West Coast

The match-up for Andrew Gaff on Sunday appears to be extremely good, the Crows have conceded 413.5 Disposals from their last 2 games (Rank 17). 

Gaff hasn’t seen a huge usage rate at centre bounces this season (34.3%), he’s usually able to find plenty of ball out on a wing. 

Expect strong ownership in a favourable match-up. 

Essendon

Zach Merrett has scored 100pts or more in each game this season, he has scored 120pts or more in 37.5% of games. 

Merrett has a 71.7% usage rate at centre bounces this season, he is ranked 4th in the AFL this season averaging 31.4 Disposals per game. 

Even at an inflated salary, expect a decent amount of ownership.

Value

Ronin O’Connor will make his AFL debut in Round 9, he is averaging 17.5 Disposals, 3.8 Marks & 4.8 Tackles in the SANFL this season.

He can play as an inside midfield type, his scoring output will likely be aligned to opportunities to run through the midfield.

Expect ownership to be moderate.
