  • ADELAIDE CROWS Sam Jacobs (Ruck) $393,400 Jacobs Has Taken Over the No.1 Ruck Mantle at Adelaide from Maric This Season
    ADELAIDE CROWS SAM JACOBS (Ruck) $393,400 Jacobs has taken over the No.1 ruck mantle at Adelaide from Maric this season. He has held his place in the side since coming into the team in Round 5, averaging 87 points per match – ranked fourth at the club. ANDY OTTEN (Def) $227,400 Relief may be in sight for those with Otten in their side, with the defender likely to come under consideration this week as Neil Craig looks to rejuvenate his struggling side. He hasn’t played since Round 5, but he has a low breakeven score, which means his price will rise if he plays.
