Lachie Whitfield – was tagged by James Jordon three times last year to scores of 94, 108 and 48.
Chad Warner – he could be targeted by Bedford this week, unless he goes to Heeney.
Tom De Koning – no ruckman has hit 100 against Reilly O’Brien this year, where Xerri 77and Marshall 64 have failed.
George Hewett – he’s been so good, but the Crows have only given up 3×110+ scores to MIDs this year.
Bailey Smith – over the last three weeks, the highest scoring midfielder against the Pies was Merrett (106).
