FRI 7:50pm
Form is elite and has basically had 5x130+ this year.Geelong can be tough but Laird (119) and Hately (112) didn't struggle last week. Dunkley averages 119 at Marvel in his last five and fills each stat line with ease.
2. Rory Laird

SAT 1:45pm
WCE #1 easiest in the last five weeks, Laird coming off 119Dogs had a day out last week on the Eagles, with Dunkley (139), English (132) and Treloar (129) cashing in. Been a trend now for many weeks and will happen again. Laird had 122 and 125 on them last year.
3. Callum Mills

@ MCG

Loves the MCG where he scored 152, 133 and 111 last year.#2 man on form averaging 125 in his last three. Coming off scores of 107 and 112, Mills even had 133 on the Demons last year. Will get plenty of easy marks in this one and even if he plays FB... check video for more

112 and 120 in his last two, the pig is back.Super match-up for the pig this week against a team he has averaged 151 against in his last five. He even had 157 against them last year and last week, Walsh (120), Cerra (119) and Hewy (116) all found plenty

North are #2 easiest in the last five weeks.Against the Roos last week, Sinclair (133), Hill (127), Gresham (119) and Ross (111) didn't struggle and before that we saw Oliver have 151. Touk had 105 last week and 112 and 130 on the Roos last year.

Freo #1 hardest in the last five weeksOliver (107) and Angus Brayshaw (100) were the only decent ones last week against the Dockers who got the win. Neale had 143 last week, his third 140+ score this year.
7. Clayton Oliver

@ MCG
SAT 7:25pm
107 and 151 in his last two and 102 in this game last year.Sydney rank as 5th hardest in recent weeks with 0x100+ scores coming to MIDs in the Richmond and Essendon games. In round 10, Walsh (113) and Hewy (106) were the only guys to get a ton. Oliver will be fine.
8. Jack Macrae

@ Marvel
FRI 7:50pm
Highest score of 107 in his last six against the CatsGeelong are tough, but Laird (119) still was solid last week. Macrae's form hasn't been at the level of others with 107 and 96 coming in the last two weeks. A VC option if you want to have a go at him.
9 Tim English

@ Marvel
FRI 7:50pm
O'Brien came back in last week and had 159 on the CatsCertainly a risky option but English came back in a big way with 132. The Cats gave ROB an easy run at it last week and English should be great!
10. Andrew Brayshaw

@ Optus
SUN 5:20pm
At home, Brayshaw has averaged 125 this yearLions are in the top-5 easiest this year and in recent weeks. Kelly (120) and Cogs (108) found plenty of it last week against them. His form has been ok with 94, 111 and 99 coming in his last three.
