PATRICK DANGERFIELD ADELAIDE CROWS (Mid) $636,000 Dangerfield had his colours lowered in the season opener against Essendon, managing only 63 points. He was given very little space and when he did have the ball his kicking was woeful, recording a team-low kicking efficiency of 30%. He ll have his work cut out against the Lions as well with Andrew Raines his likely opponent if he s named. MATTHEW WRIGHT (Fwd/Mid) $475,300 Wright was one of very few positives for Adelaide in its Round 1 defeat, finishing with a team-high 24 disposals (75% disposal efficiency). He also generated six clearances and applied five tackles on his way to 102 points. Expect a consistent output from him across the year.

DANIEL RICH BRISBANE LIONS (Mid) $485,800 In a sign of things to come for Rich, the Bulldogs blanketed him last week with a close tag from Nick Lower. Collecting his first disposal for the match late in the first term, he could only manage eight disposals and 61 points from 82% game time. MATTHEW LEUENBERGER (Ruck) $301,100 Leuenberger played a full match in the NEAFL last week, finishing with 19 disposals, four clearances, five inside 50s and 128 points.

CHRIS JUDD CARLTON (Mid) $558,300 Judd has excelled against the Magpies since 2010, averaging 114 points per game ranked No.1 at the club. Averaging 30 disposals, 15 contested possessions, seven clearances and six inside 50s per match, he dominated in the two meetings last season, racking up 35 and 32 disposals respectively. MITCH ROBINSON (Fwd/Mid) $474,700 Over 13,000 coaches would have been disappointed last week after Robinson was subbed off after getting heavily concussed. He could only manage six disposals and 20 points before he went off at the 10 minute mark of the second term. He is expected to be fit for the Collingwood clash on Sunday.

SCOTT PENDLEBURY COLLINGWOOD (Mid) $667,300 Pendlebury will be looking to redeem himself against Carlton this week in what will be his 150th AFL match.

JOBE WATSON ESSENDON (Mid) $647,200 There were no signs of a Brownlow Medal hangover from Watson against Adelaide. The skipper led the Bombers to a morale boosting win, racking up a game-high 34 disposals on his way to 121 points. He also generated seven clearances and seven inside 50s, while chipping in to score one goal. PATRICK RYDER (Fwd/Ruck) $564,300 As the third-most expensive ruckman in the competition, Ryder s return of four disposals and 54 points from 81% game time against Adelaide was well below par. He had no impact on the scoreboard either, finishing scoreless with only two score involvements to his name.

HAMISH HARTLETT (Def/Mid) $489,000 If Hartlett remains injury free this year, then he looms as a boom recruit for any coach. He started strongly against the Demons, finishing with 29 disposals, four clearances, five inside 50s, two goals and 123 points. With the added bonus of dual position eligibility, he has to be considered.

JACK RIEWOLDT RICHMOND (Fwd) $485,900 Riewoldt inspired the Tigers to a narrow win over the Saints in Round 10 last season, finishing with 20 disposals, nine marks (four contested) and eight goals. His tally of 187 points was a game and season-high and 48 more than his next best return for the year. BRETT DELEDIO (Mid) $624,100 Deledio proved last week against Carlton that you don t have to find a lot of the ball to score well. Managing only 17 disposals, he hit the target 88% of the time and pumped the ball inside 50 six times by foot, with three of these resulting in a goal for the Tigers. He also booted three goals of his own and finished with 116 points.

JARRYN GEARY (Def) $394,100 Geary s score of 144 points last week against Gold Coast was the biggest haul of any defender in the competition and 14 more than the next best tally.

He also generated nine clearances (three from centre bounces) and booted one goal on his way to 127 points ranked fifth for the game. LEWIS JETTA (Fwd/Mid) $427,300 Jetta had a shocker last week against the Giants, finishing with only eight disposals and 37 points the fewest of any Swans player besides starting substitute Tony Armstrong. He had no impact on the scoreboard either finishing scoreless. TEAM AVERAGE: 1776 (4th) Josh P.

JOSH J. KENNEDY WEST COAST EAGLES (Fwd) $299,600 Kennedy s price makes him an absolute steal, especially after his impressive 109 points against Fremantle. Of that tally 86 were won in the first half, recording 13 disposals, five marks (four contested) and two goals. Like the Eagles themselves he went missing in the second half, managing only six disposals and no score. MARK LECRAS (Fwd) $369,200 LeCras wretched injury run continues after he suffered a fractured arm against Fremantle an injury that will sideline him up to one month. He impressed in the lead up, finishing with 14 disposals, eight tackles, two goals and 91 points. A straight swap for team mate Josh Kennedy is your best option.

BRETT GOODES WESTERN BULLDOGS (Mid/Def) $128,200 Thirty nine per cent of the competition didn t have Goodes in their side in Round 1. I m sure this will change after his debut last week against the Lions, finishing with an impressive 113 points. He has been given the responsibility of taking the kick-ins as well, recording 10 the second-most of any player for the round. TOM LIBERATORE (Mid) $444,400 Liberatore stepped up last week in the absence of Matthew Boyd, finishing with 130 points the second-best of any Bulldogs player.
