ADELAIDE CROWS Sam Jacobs (Ruck) $411,700 Sharing the ruck load with Ivan Maric really hurt Jacobs’ score last week, finishing with only 50 points from 79% game time – his lowest score since his debut match for Adelaide in Round 2. I would avoid him at this stage.
Rory Sloane (Mid) $397,900 Sloane has really lifted under Mark Bickley, averaging 115 points per match under the caretaker coach – ranked No.1 at the club. He dominated last week against Geelong, finishing with a career-high 36 disposals, 17 contested possessions and 145 points.

His price slumped to a season-low $468,200 and he looks to be a solid replacement for any underperforming ruckmen.
Nick Lower (Def) $330,300 Lower was subbed out midway through the third term last week, scoring a season-low 10 points. Despite this stinker, his form interstate this year has been impressive, averaging 101 points per game – ranked fourth at the club.

His price has slumped by $51,900 this season. Trade him out of you currently have him.
Harry Taylor (Def) $314,800 With Geelong having a bye this round, it’s the perfect time to upgrade Taylor. He has been serviceable this season, averaging 80 points per match, but he doesn’t get you those big scores on a regular basis. Matt Suckling or Grant Birchall loom as decent replacements. Johnson has been earmarked for a greater role in the midfield this season, which makes him an attractive proposition. His last match in the NAB Challenge was exceptional as he racked up an impressive 141 points.

Johnson has been earmarked for a greater role in the midfield this season, which makes him an attractive proposition. His last match in the NAB Challenge was exceptional as he racked up an impressive 141 points.

Adam Cooney (Mid) $376,000 Cooney may have already played his last game this season, with a knee injury likely to keep him out for the rest of the year. Almost 8,000 coaches will this week have to decide whether to keep him, or alternatively move him on. I would choose the latter. WESTERN BULLDOGS TEAM AVERAGE: 1587 (13th)
