Just giving you the best option for each line coming into finals. Good Luck!
Rookies on the radar (<$200k) this week:
1) M Grigg (Mid $115k) Had 12 disposals in his first outing in round 17 before having a week off and coming back in round 19 getting another 15 disposals and a goal this week. The end result in his first two scores were 29 and 96.
2) B Grundy (Ruck $114k) Reg was taken pick 18 in 2012 and proving to be an up and coming cult figure. His first run with 14 disposals, 7 tackles and 12 hitouts, scoring 75 and in his second run he had 11 disposals and 19 hitouts scoring another 70.
3) L Johnston (Fwd 196k) Played his first of the year having played one last year and smashed out a lazy 94 points. Hard to tell if it was a fluky one off or if there’s real talent after one game. But if you need a cheap forward to carry the bench into finals and make some cash for another upgrade, then Johnno may be your man. He had 17 disposals, taking 7 marks and kicking 4 goals.
4) S Colquhoun (Def/Mid $162k): Starting to find his feet at AFL level and scored a solid 68 points on the weekend in his 5th hit out. BUT, the real reason to look at Colquhoun if his Def/Mid flexibility coming into finals when we are all starting to run low on trades.

Note that Mitch Grigg got his 96 points after starting as sub. He came on about 10 minutes after half time showing some good decision making and great disposal efficiency in a finals like match.
Lewis Johnston will keep playing the year out with the injuries to Jenkins and Walker as Adelaide will look to next year. He is a dead eye in front of goal and has been dominating for North Adelaide in the Sanfl after an injury earlier this year.
I still have a stupid number of trades available. Will look again at this later in the week. Thanks BS. Haven’t really touched my team in just over 3 weeks… Too much going on. Made two lots of finals as far as I know.
