$75k kitty on Saturday and $60k for Sunday

Good luck and please, gamble responsibly.

Mabior Chol (RUC/FWD, $9,200)

Sunday v West Coast

No Nankervis for the Tigers, meant that Chol had to step up last week and he did so with 97pts. He did that by not relying on hitouts (19) but more so by possessions around the ground. He had a career-high 19 touches last week and will be called upon again by the Richmond staff to do that again, despite a tougher match-up against West Coast’s Nic Nat.

Brad Crouch (MID, $14,320)

Saturday v Adelaide

This week, we are targeting St Kilda guys and there are none better than Brad Crouch.

With previous scores of 131, 118, 73, 111, 109 and 105, he is starting to replicate the form he had back when he was fit and firing with the Crows.

Crouch has the potential to win a Draftstars slate off his own foot and could well do it here with another 130+.

Jack Higgins (FWD, $9,420)

Saturday v Adelaide

Last week he was called “Missy Higgins” after kicking 1.6 goals, but hey… he did score 116. He did this by pushing up high onto the wing and finding heaps of cheap ball.

This week, he gets to do this against the Crows who have given up the most points in the last five weeks – that’s why we are backing in the Saints so heavily against them here.

Jack Steele (MID, $15,730)

Saturday v Adelaide

You ready for this?

137, 118, 84, 117 and 136 are Steele’s most recent scores and although your paying top dollar for the man, he’s worth it.

As I’ve previously said, we are looking for a few Saints today based on the points the Crows give up. He scored 115 against them last year and is always an exciting pick in DS.

Nic Naitanui (RUC, $11,790)

Sunday v Richmond

Nic Nat has averaged 98 in his last three games and meets a team that doesn’t really have a ruckman – this should be much easier.

His scores can be hit and miss on the day, but this year Nic Nat is flying and playing much more consistently. With only four ruckman to choose from Sunday, Nic Nat is the pick of the bunch, at the best price.

Aaron Hall (DEF/FWD, $14,010)

Sunday v GWS

Strap yourself in… this could be huge.

Coming off scores of 124, 122, 102, 133 and 143 this man is the real deal and always has the ability to score big.

Down in Hobart at Blundstone Arena, we have seen some massive scores there in the past and we might just see them again.

Mitch Robinson (147) and Zorko (125) dominated the Giants last time they played in round 11 and on that day, defenders Harris Andrews and Starcevich took 18 marks between them.

If the ball is being flicked around in the back-half, expect this guy to be involved and a score of 140+ isn’t out of the question.

REMINDER: Final teams for Sunday are announced tonight and be sure to check final teams before entering your team to play.
