PATRICK DANGERFIELD ADELAIDE CROWS (Mid) $582,200 Like Adelaide themselves, Dangerfield has struggled to get going this season, suffering the fifth-biggest price fall of any midfielder in the AFL. Receiving plenty of attention from the opposition, he has had to win more of the ball from a contest than ever before, recording a contested possession rate of 61%. BRAD CROUCH (Mid) $115,900 If you have a midfielder on your bench that isn t playing or is underperforming, then make sure you pounce on Crouch this week before his price booms. He has been solid in his first two appearances, collecting scores of 85 and 50 points.

DAYNE ZORKO (Fwd/Mid) $488,100 Zorko has been a shadow of the player he was last season, averaging 30 fewer points per game the second-biggest fall of any Brisbane player. His defensive play is one area of his game that has dropped off, averaging three fewer tackles per game.

JONATHAN GILES GWS GIANTS (Ruck) $484,700 With Dean Brogan suspended for three matches, expect to see Giles do the bulk of the ruck work in his absence. He has been a consistent scorer this year despite Brogan s presence, returning scores of 85, 82 and 96 points. JONATHON PATTON (Fwd) $253,100 Patton s season-ending knee injury last week against St Kilda is a cruel blow for the youngster and the competition as well. If you haven t got the funds to upgrade him, then trading down to rookie Sam Mayes is an option worth considering.

SAM MITCHELL (Mid) $598,400 Mitchell s average of 104 points per game at Aurora Stadium last season ranked him No.1 at the club.

JACK WATTS MELBOURNE (Def/Fwd) $460,100 Watts was sensationally dropped for last week s match against West Coast and you should follow suit. His price will plummet if he s named to face the Giants, so look to the likes of Shannon Hurn or Travis Cloke as replacements depending on which position you have him in. MITCHELL CLARK (Fwd) $413,300 Melbourne ranks 18th for inside 50 differentials this season, averaging 30 fewer per match compared to its opposition.

LEWIS JETTA SYDNEY SWANS (Fwd/Mid) $383,400 Jetta s fall of 29 points per match this year is the biggest drop of any Sydney player that hasn t been involved in a substitution.

KENNEDY (Mid) $647,600 Kennedy doesn t look like slowing down anytime soon.

BEAU WATERS WEST COAST EAGLES (Def) $536,600 Waters injured his calf in the pre-match last week against Melbourne and was immediately withdrawn.
