Those with S Collins take note as there seems to be a scoring pattern developing between him and C Ballard.
S Collins 27,86,79,87,45
C Ballard 105,66,47,48,103
Some of this may be attributed to opponents, matchups, game flow, etc. But the first 5 rounds seems to suggest that only 1 of the 2 will play that SC friendly intercept role whilst the other will occupy a more lock-down role.
Interested to see if this patterns holds for subsequent rounds.

Yes and No...
Just some of my thoughts and observations (a bit of hindsight involved, but useful nevertheless).
Rd1 v STK: 4K, 1H, 3M
Bruce, Membrey & Kent are all mobile forwards - was always going to be a tough matchup for Collins , plus the STK fast game style preferring to hit up leading options didn't help.
Rd2 v FRE: 9K, 9H, 8M
Taberner, McCarthy & Lobb/Darcy - much better matchup player's wise and FRE tendency to bomb into their F50 gave him more opportunities.
Rd3 v WBD: 5K, 6H, 6M
Schache & Naughton - OK matchup wise, but the WBD butchering their I50's and that game saving intercept mark helped his cause in a close game.
Rd4 v CAR: 8K, 4H, 5M
McKay, C Curnow & McGovern - not an ideal matchup but similar to Rd3, got some important intercept possessions in the last which helped to boost his score.
Rd5 v ADE: 10K, 1H, 5M
Walker & Lynch - no favourable matchup and the game was over at HT, scored accordingly.

McStay or Hipwood looks to be his likely matchup, game will be during the day so no threat of drew to make marking difficult.
When BRI have been playing well this season, they tend to look for short leading targets when going forward rather than bombing the ball. This will really depend on how close the game is after HT. If BRIS takes control early and are comfortable then we'll likely see his score in that lower bracket. I'm predicting an easy win for BRI so going to say something between 55-60 for Collins.

I would field Butters for sure since he's up against north this round. Gibbons vs Stack for that 2nd one is a bit trickier. Stack has a great scoring role in defence and could score well against dees tonight. Blues might keep Gibbons in the midfield after their first win so I would maybe take a punt on him.
So Butters>Gibbons>Stack>Ross in that order.
