Zach Merrett
The Bombers were very poor last week and will look to rebound against the Magpies on Friday night. Zach Merrett is unlikely to receive any type of attention from Collingwood and has an ability to find open space at the MCG. He should be in a decent situation to provide a strong score. Merrett has scored 100pts or more in 66.7% of games and 120pts or more in 28.6% of games this season.Â
One to consider. Â
Connor Rozee
Port Adelaide mids should be in favourable situation on Sunday against a Richmond team that could be looking forward to their season ending. Rozee has scored 100pts or more in 68.2% of games and 120pts or more in 18.2% of games this season. A high-ceiling game is quite possible.
One to consider.Â

Tom Liberatore
Unfortunately Liberatore has missed the majority of playing time in the last 2 games for the Bulldogs. His scoring rate prior to being concussed in Round 22 had been quite healthy. With a favourable midfield battle against a depleted Geelong team this week Liberatore should provide a strong scoring output.Â
One to consider.Â
Zak Butters
Zak Butters should be able to take advantage of what could be a favourable situation on Sunday against the Tigers. He also has a Brownlow Medal chance narrative which Ryan Burton made public last week where Power players may try to feed Butters the ball. The game against Richmond on Sunday could be an ideal scenario for Butters with a large scoreboard advantage.Â
One to consider.Â
Marcus BontempelliÂ
Bontempelli was enormous in the second half last week in a loss to the Eagles. With finals on the line and facing a must-win game against a depleted Geelong at GMHBA Stadium Bontempelli will be doing everything possible to secure a win. Bontempelli has scored 100pts or more in 77.3% of games and 120pts or more in 31.8% of games this season. A strong score is expected.Â
One to consider.Â
