GOALSCORERS

Jake Waterman

With Allen out of the team Waterman has been playing as the #1 target deep in F50. He has kicked 6.5 so far from the 4 games and i don't trust the Richmond tall backs whatsover. Think he can win some 1 on 1's and create chances. You have to think WC will be right up to this contest, they won't win many games this year but this is as good a chance as they will get for a while.

Josh Rachele

On his career stats so far this doesn't look like value, he only kicked 2+ 6/21 games last year. However he did have 48 scores from those 21 games, so inaccuracy was a significant issue for him. Hes actually spending a lot more time fwd this year as basically a permanent fwd. 

The Crows have started the season poorly, however i am still willing to give them a chance as i like them at the + line. Carlton defend KPF very well, particularly with Weitering back in. I still think the small/mid size fwds can cause some problems for them, Rankine is a much shorter price so happy to back in Rachele here.

DISPOSALS

Finn Callaghan o19.5

Finn Callaghan is working his way back into the team after an injury interrupted preseason. As a pure defensive wing it's a good spot on a big ground to build some form.

Sam Flanders  u27.5

A high number to begin with but also he's a probable target for the Finn tag.

Ollie Wines u24.5

All the talk out of Port Adelaide is that winds will be staying in the middle. But that doesn't make a lot of sense as he's not the most effective player in there after what happened versus Essendon last week. Had some easy match ups before missing last weeks game.
