Verdict: Macrae had a game high 10 tackles but will need to show more for us to pick him at his price. Wilson kicked 4 goals in a great game but same deal with his price being elevated. Kelly is hot on everyone’s radar but he needs to show more to work his way into the AFL side.

ESSENDON
Geelong 12.14.86 def. Essendon 8.10.58

Nick Bryan $166.6k RUC – 10 disposals (6 kicks), 13 hitouts and had 3 clearances – 53 (53/1)

Patrick Voss $102.4k DEF/FWD – 12 disposals (6 kicks) and kicked 1.1 – 41 (41/1)

Verdict: Hobbs and Baldwin were among the best for the Bombers and could come straight in with some injuries and poor form in the AFL side. Hird had a decent game and may finally get a gig this season.

GWS GIANTS
GWS Giants 10.13.73 def. Port Melbourne 7.13.55

Braydon Pruess $204.7k RUC – 21 disposals (14 kicks), kicked 1.1, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 41 hitouts, 7 clearances, 6 inside 50s and had 4 frees for – 123 (123/1)

Jacob Wehr $123.9k DEF – 28 disposals (17 kicks), 11 marks and had 4 inside 50s – 108 (108/1)
Cooper Hamilton $102.4k MID/FWD – 8 disposals (4 kicks) – 33 (33/1)

Verdict: Pruess dominated in the ruck and should come in soon. Not being available Rd 1 could be a blessing. If he scores really well in his first 2 games in the AFL this year we can bring him in on the bubble after getting a free look. Callaghan led the way in touches with Stein and Wehr racking them up and also taking plenty of marks down back as did Aleer.

GEELONG
Geelong 12.14.86 def. Essendon 8.10.58

Francis Evans $123.9k FWD – 11 disposals (8 kicks), kicked 1.0, 3 marks and laid 3 tackles – 52 (52/1)

Mitchell Knevitt $117.3k MID – 21 disposals (11 kicks), 7 marks, 9 tackles and had 4 clearances – 103 (103/1)
Cooper Whyte $117.3k MID – 15 disposals (10 kicks), 3 marks, 4 tackles, 4 inside 50s and had 4 rebound 50s – 59 (59/1)
Oliver Dempsey $102.4k FWD – 15 disposals (9 kicks), kicked 3.2 and took 5 marks – 80 (80/1)

Verdict: The Stephens, Stevens combo were great in this one leading the way for the rookie priced Cats. If it wasn’t Geelong they’d be in contention but it could be hard for them to string enough games together. Knevitt making his debut was very good in the middle as well.

GOLD COAST
Gold Coast 20.11.131 def. Northern Bullants 11.10.76

James Tsitas $102.4k MID – 26 disposals (10 kicks), 5 tackles, 7 clearances and had 4 inside 50s – 84 (84/1)

Verdict: Good games by most here. Moyle was dominant in the ruck with 44 hitouts while Tsitas, Hollands and Oea were great in the midfield finding plenty of it. Andrew was solid down back with 5 marks while Rosas and McLennan played forward with Rosas kicking 3 goals. People are mostly aware but put Hollands and Tsitas on your watch list if they’re not on it already.
