Essendon
Zach Merrett has a very favourable match-up on Sunday against an under performing Collingwood team, the Bombers are -23.5 favourites.Â
He has scored 100pts or more in 81.0% of games this season, he has scored 140pts or more in 3 of his last 8 games.Â
Expect strong ownership.Â
Adelaide
Rory Laird has been ultra consistent this season, he’s scored 100pts or more in 810% of games.Â
He’s scored 100pts or more in each of his last 10 games, he has averaged 117.5pts over the same period.Â
A ceiling game could be in play in the final H&A season game for the Crows.
Ownership may only be moderate.Â

Value
Strachan made his AFL debut last week, he recorded 11 Disposals, 5 Marks & 25 Hit Outs for 73pts.
Reilly O’Brien is unavailable to return in Round 23, Strachan will again be the No.1 ruck option for the Crows.
Expect strong ownership, he should exceed value.Â
