  • ADELAIDE CROWS BERNIE VINCE (Mid) $381,800 Having Played in the SANFL Last Week, Vince Is Likely to Be One of a Host of Inclusions for Adelaide This Round
    ADELAIDE CROWS BERNIE VINCE (Mid) $381,800 Having played in the SANFL last week, Vince is likely to be one of a host of inclusions for Adelaide this round. He hasn’t played at AFL level since Round 5 and has averaged 87 points per match from his four appearances this season. CHRIS KNIGHTS (Fwd) $320,900 Knights’ form away from home this season has been far less convincing compared to that at AAMI Stadium. He averages 23 fewer points per match interstate compared to home – the second-worst differential of anyone that has played all nine games at Adelaide this year.
