AFL 2024 Round 01 - Melbourne v Western Bulldogs - A-46542901

🏴‍☠️ 5 – Smith v ESS,
@ GMHBA, FRI 7:40pm 

Coming off 112 and 132 and he even had 136 against Essendon in round 14. Surely dominates this one!

AFL 2025 Round 14 - Essendon v Geelong - A-60031655

OUTSIDE OF THE BOX…

The above will be very popular… but here are a couple of names also capable of huge scores and I mean 150+

🚨 Rowan Marshall was #1… but he didn’t train today – risk is, he could share duties with Heath more than usual. BUT… Ross Lyon says he’s fine to play – either way, I loved him until he didn’t train and now comes with a risk – however, he plays early and it’s a great VC

Marcus Bontempelli v Melbourne, SUN 3:15pm 

Should be huge in this one and finds himself coming off 97, 146, 105, 166 and 133. The Demons are #7 easiest for MIDs at the moment and Bont even had 135 and 90 against them last year. Very hit and miss is the Bont at the moment and if he played earlier in the round – a VC would be in play.

Jordan Dawson v West Coast, SUN 5:10pm 

West Coast… #2 easiest for MIDs and Dawson could be the man bringing it all home for you this round. He scored 139 (at AO) this year on the Eagles and 123 against them last year… with 105 and 195 before that. Must be considered – but he has been a little like Bont, a little hit and miss with his scores and he can only be a “C”.

AFL 2018 Round 11 - Western Bulldogs v Melbourne - 597047
